Patent number: 11536558Abstract: A linear displacement measuring apparatus for determining an absolute position includes a linear rail composed of individual rail segments arranged after one another in the direction of a longitudinal axis. Each of the rail segments has a material measure which comprises at least one incremental track which extends along the longitudinal axis and has equidistantly arranged position markings. In addition to the incremental track, the material measure of one of the rail segments has an absolute track with position markings for coding a plurality of absolute positions. A scanning device can be moved along the rail segments and comprises a sensor arrangement for scanning the material measures with a first sensor, a second sensor and a third sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor are offset relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis and are used to detect the position markings of the incremental track.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Schneeberger Holding AGInventor: Klaus-Dieter Götz

Patent number: 9041386Abstract: A linear position measuring system (10) and a method for determining a position of a carriage in relation to a slide rail (12), with an incremental scale (14) placed along the slide rail (12) and a scanner secured to the slide scale. The scanner is designed to scan a plurality of incremental markings along the incremental scale (14), wherein the incremental markings can be scanned as an essentially analog signal progression. The scanner is designed to scan the incremental markings with a variable scanning frequency. The scanning frequency can be adaptively varied in relation to a currently acquired frequency of the analog signal progression, wherein the variable scanning frequency measures at least twice the currently acquired frequency of the analog signal progression.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: SCHNEEBERGER HOLDING AGInventor: Klaus-Dieter Goetz

Patent number: 8912793Abstract: A linear position measuring system and a method for determining an absolute position of a carriage along a slide rail are disclosed. An analog signal progression (S) based at on at least one reference point is here discretely scanned in response to a first threshold (SW1) and second threshold (SW2). The resultant digital values are stored in a first measured value register (MR1) and a second measured value register (MR2). The contents of the first and second measured value register (MR1, MR2) are compared with the respective contents of a first and second set measured value register. The reference point is output as an ideal reference point if the differential value lies within a predetermined tolerance range, and is otherwise discarded.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Schneeberger Holding AGInventors: Stefan Frey, Klaus-Dieter Goetz

Patent number: 4706450Abstract: In the case of a supporting roller bearing for a horizontally arranged spinning rotor, it is provided that braking means are arranged below a tangential belt moving between two pairs of supporting roller. The braking means contain two brake shoes that can be applied essentially horizontally to the shaft from the direction of two sides, said brake shoes being arranged on tong arms. The applying of the brake shoes takes place in such a way that the brake shoe that during the application moves in moving direction of the tangential belt comes to rest against the shaft before the other brake shoe. In addition, it is provided that a tension roller loading the tangential belt in normal operation, during the braking, will not be moved off the tangential belt before both brake shoes are applied to the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1987Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Assignees: Fritz Stahlecker, Hans StahleckerInventors: Wolfgang Feuchter, Dieter Goetz

Patent number: 4703616Abstract: A bearing and driving assembly is disclosed for an open and spinning rotor unit of a spinning unit of the type having a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft, a twin disk bearing arrangement for rotatably supporting the rotor shaft and a tangential belt drivingly engaging the rotor shaft. A tension roller is loaded against the tangential belt. To minimize failures of such a system caused by a resonant system vibrations and to facilitate high spinning speeds with minimal manufacturing expenses, the supporting disk pairs are axially spaced a distance slightly larger than the axial width of the tension roller. Brake members are disposed below the tangential belt so as to be applied with substantially horizontal movement radially against the rotor shaft.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1986Date of Patent: November 3, 1987Assignees: Fritz Stahlecker, Hans StahleckerInventors: Wolfgang Feuchter, Dieter Goetz, Friedbert Schmid
