  • Patent number: 9568054
    Abstract: An actuating device has an actuating member (2) pivotable in a first operating state about an axis (1). The actuating member (2) is connected in a torsion-proof manner with a toothed member (3). The toothed member (3), in a second operating state, prevents pivoting movement of the actuating member (2). The toothed member is coupled, in a lockable manner, with a detent member (4). The detent member 4 is movably mounted with respect to the axis (1).

  • Patent number: 9422971
    Abstract: A swivel device has a swivel shaft (2) rotatably mounted in a housing. A portion of the swivel shaft (2) projects from the housing (1). A swivel lever (3) is fixably mounted on the shaft (2) and is swivelable relative to the housing (1). The swivel lever (3) is arranged outside the housing (1). A first part (4) of a stop is arranged externally on the housing (1). A second part (5) of the stop is connected with the swivel lever (3). The first (4) and second (5) parts of the stop form a rotational movement stop for the swivel lever (3). The second part (5) of the stop is detachable from the swivel lever (3) and is reattachable to the swivel lever (3) in various positions on the swivel lever (3).

  • Patent number: 8777200
    Abstract: A clamping device has a toggle lever mechanism (2) with a linearly movable actuator (1) and a pivot shaft (23) with a tensioning arm (21). A mechanism to unlock an over-center position is coupled with the toggle lever mechanism. The mechanism includes a control element (3) that is arranged on the actuator (1) and a rocker (4). The rocker (4) can be brought into adjusting contact with the control element (3). The control element (3) is in the form of a control extension in a direction facing away from the pivot shaft. The actuator (1) is arranged between the pivot shaft (23) and the rocker (4).

  • Publication number: 20110277280
    Abstract: A clamping device has a clamping head piece with a linearly movable actuator in the clamping head piece. Two positional transducers are coupled with the actuating element. The two position transducers are adjustable with respect to one another. Two sensors cooperate with the two positional transducers. The two sensors are arranged at a fixed distance from one another. The two transducers are immovable with respect to the clamping head piece. A separate external access insertion opening is provided in the clamping head piece for each sensor.

  • Patent number: 6585246
    Abstract: An electrically powered clamp has a housing, a motor attached to the housing, a ball screw driven by the motor via gears, and a linkage driven at one end by the ball screw such that the linkage rotates an output shaft attached to the other end of the linkage. The motor and gears drive the ball screw to a fully extended position to rotate the shaft to a clamped position or to a fully retracted position to rotate the shaft to an unclamped position. A built-in computer monitors and controls the clamp. The clamp can also be controlled and monitored by a remote pendant. Indicator lights on the housing and remote pendant convey clamp status information. The clamp is programmable and can memorize the clamped and unclamped positions. The clamp uses velocity and position feedback to determine appropriate drive mode. Torque monitors and timers determine if the clamp becomes stuck.
