  • Publication number: 20080185796
    Abstract: A pressure-medium actuated swivel motor includes a cylinder with closed ends and an inside surface with a pair of diametrically opposed axially extending ribs, and a motor shaft with a pair of diametrically opposed axially extending vanes, wherein the vanes and the ribs bound first and second pairs of diametrically opposed working chambers between the motor shaft and the cylinder. First and second pressure medium ports are connected to respective first and second pairs of working chambers, each pair being connected by an interconnection channel through the shaft. A movable separating element which divides a compensating space in the piston into a first and second compensating subspaces, wherein the first compensating subspace is connected to the first pair of working chambers, and the second compensating subspace is connected to the second pair of working chambers.

  • Patent number: 7354875
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric having both stab resistant and anti-ballistic properties. The fabric is made of yarn of a weight greater than about 500 dtex, and the fabric has a minimum shrinkage factor of at least about 1% achieved through a densification treatment. The invention further relates to a method of producing a such a fabric having the steps of agitating a fabric made of a yarn of a weight greater than about 500 dtex, substantially removing a spin finish from the fabric before, during or after the agitating step, and drying the fabric.

  • Publication number: 20080029358
    Abstract: Presented is a vibration damper that includes an outer cylinder that includes a lateral surface, a pin-shaped fastening element that includes a stop surface, and a mounting coupled to the lateral surface. The mounting defines a through-hole that is configured to receive the pin-shaped fastening means and extends circumferentially with respect to the lateral surface. The mounting includes a formation that extends in a radial direction with respect to the cylinder. The formation cooperates with the outer cylinder to form a socket for the stop surface. The stop surface rests against the mounting in an axial direction of the pin-shaped fastening element.
