  • Publication number: 20240141733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable swivel for connecting a cable or a retainer to a component, in particular a Kelly bar, which is rotatable relative to the cable or the retainer, with a stationary first swivel part which can be fastened on the cable or the retainer, and a rotatable second swivel part which is supported in a rotatable and axially fixed manner on the stationary first swivel part and can be connected to the component. Furthermore, in the case of the invention provision is made in that the rotatable second swivel part is of sleeve-shaped design with an axial passage and in that on the stationary first swivel part a connecting pin is designed which at least partially extends axially along the passage of the rotatable second swivel part.

  • Patent number: 9708019
    Abstract: A track-supporting roller assembly, according to the disclosure, for supporting a crawler track of a crawler chassis includes a bearing unit and a track-supporting roller rotatably coupled to the bearing unit. The track-supporting roller includes at least one supporting body made of plastic. The supporting body serves as a damper and prevents a metal-on-metal contact between track chain links of the crawler track and the track-supporting roller. The track-supporting roller assembly according to the disclosure ensures a reduced noise development in the crawler chassis. At the same time, it is possible to also reduce the wear of the track-supporting rollers to a considerable extent.

  • Patent number: 8628271
    Abstract: A road paver F having a primary driving aggregate P with a combustion engine M, particularly a diesel engine, the crankshaft 22 of which extends to a power output region within a casing 20 of a clutch and/or a flywheel. A generator R is driven by the primary driving aggregate P at least for supplying electric heating devices H of the road paver F with electric power. A distribution gear mechanism 30 for pumps is mounted to the primary driving aggregate P. The generator R being a generator with permanent magnet excitation is mounted to or into or in lieu of the casing 20. A drive train 29 connected or connectable to the power output region of the crankshaft 22 extends to the distribution gear mechanism 30 for pumps and through the generator R.

  • Patent number: 8356958
    Abstract: In a paver F comprising a combustion engine M, in particular a diesel engine, of a primary driving aggregate P, functional units having hydraulic pumps 23, 30 to 33 inclusive a travel pump aggregate 23 which can be driven by the combustion engine M for supplying at least one travel drive 16, a generator G for supplying electric heating devices H of the paver F and/or of a paving screed B of the paver F with electric power, the generator G is driven permanently while at least one pump 23, 30 to 33 selectively can be disconnected from the combustion engine via at least one shiftable clutch K1, K2, K3. During a heating-up phase of electric heating devices H via the permanently driven generator G at least one of the pumps is disconnected.

  • Patent number: 7632038
    Abstract: A road finisher F for producing a continuous sprayed carpet T of a bonding agent on a planum has a spraying system S on a vehicle having at least two spraying facilities 11, 11?, 14, 14? which are located offset to each other in the and laterally to the traveling motion direction R and a control device which operates the spraying facilities using a method such that during a traveling motion of the vehicle a sprayed carpet T is produced with front and rear boundaries V, H which are continuous over the width of the sprayed carpet and which are parallel to a respective reference line L which is placed on the planum in front of the spraying facility which is the frontmost in traveling motion direction. The sprayed carpet T is produced such that each spraying facility 11, 11?, 14, 14? first is activated or deactivated depending on the traveling motion with a predetermined distance from the or when reaching the respective reference line L.
