Abstract: 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.

The housing (2) of the vacuum pump (1) is connected directly to one end of the suspension body (8) in vacuum-tight connection and an opposite end of the suspension body carries a connecting port (14). By connecting the suspension body directly with the housing without mechanically releasable interconnection elements, the overall height of the pump and suspension body assembly is reduced.

Abstract: A coordinate measuring instrument or machining equipment has a component that is mounted at its one end, movably on two guides, by a component foot. In order to be able to compensate rotation errors of the component, the component foot is arranged such that the component is turned in a plane that is orthogonal to the direction of motion of the component foot when the distance between the guides is changed.

Abstract: A coordinate measuring apparatus measures a workpiece in accordance with a measuring sequence. The apparatus has a probe unit for scanning the workpiece and a mechanical assembly for moving the probe unit in three coordinate directions (X, Y, Z). Drives are provided for driving the mechanical assembly to move the probe unit and a manually actuable control element controls the drives. A force unit superposes a force onto the control element in correspondence to specific conditions in the measuring sequence.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an apparatus for measuring the edges 13 of a workpiece 5 with an optical probe 4. The probe 4 measures the distance values (a) between the probe 4 and an adjustable scanning point 15. In the method, the scanning point 15 is moved along a loop path (36a, 36b, . . . , 36n) over the edge 13 of the workpiece 5 to be measured in order to obtain more exact values for measured points of the edge at a higher measuring speed. During the method, distance values (a) are measured by the probe 4 and a point P of the edge 13 is determined from the course of the measured values.

Abstract: A supporting disk for a supporting disk bearing arrangement for open-end spinning rotors is provided with a disk-shaped basic body as well as an outer ring anchored to it. The circumference of the outer ring is constructed as a running surface for a shaft of an open-end spinning rotor. The outer ring and the basic body are made of plastic material. The outer circumference of the basic body and the inner circumference of the ring are provided with a surrounding undercut-type profiling respectively which engage in a form-locking manner and which are designed as a projection on the ring and as a recess on the basic body. The non-cut profiling is achieved by manufacturing the outer ring in a first tool and subsequently placing the ring in a second tool. The basic body is injection-molded to the outer ring on this second tool.

Abstract: A heater (independent vehicle heater) which can be operated in a particularly wide range between full load and partial load, e.g., 1:10 to 1:15, is shown. This is achieved by the annular space surrounding the combustion chamber being divided into two partial compartments and by supplying the combustion air to these partial compartments. A control element (back-pressure-controlled control element), which separates some of the air passage openings between the annular space and the combustion chamber from the passage of air, is arranged in the combustion air line.

Abstract: In the case of a tangential-belt drive for an open-end spinning machine, having a tangential belt driving the spinning rotors of several spinning units arranged behind one another, it is provided that the spinning units each comprise a pressure roller loading the tangential belt and a rotor brake which can be jointly actuated by means of a common actuating mechanism. In addition, an actuating possibility is provided by means of which the pressure roller, for increasing the pressure force, can be increasingly pressed against the tangential belt during the run-up.

Abstract: In the case of a brake for an open-end spinning rotor which, by a shaft, is disposed in a wedge-shaped gap of at least one pair of supporting disks, two mirror-symmetrically arranged tong arms are provided which can each be swivelled around an axle extending in parallel to the shaft. The double-armed tong arms, at one arm, are equipped with brake linings which can be applied to the shaft. The arms facing away from the shaft are spread apart by a common actuating element. The actuating element can be moved freely in moving direction of the arms.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for separating impurities from a hydrogen-free fluorinated lubricant. The lubricant is passed through a filter apparatus containing an adsorbing material. The lubricant is then passed into a degasser unit to remove volatile impurities from the lubricant. The degassing unit has an area of closed suction. A pressure measuring device measures the pressure in the closed area and, based on this measurement, a control apparatus controls the degassing unit. A monitoring unit monitors the quality of the filtered lubricant.

Abstract: An arrangement for the retention of an ultrasonic atomizer has the advantage of little influence on the vibration system due to the fuel supply connections and reduced bearing surface of the ultrasonic atomizer. The construction permits quick installation through since the retention is effected with a clamp. The fuel supply occurs via a bore opening into an annular channel in the structural part in which the ultrasonic atomizer is mounted. The atomizer is retained by a small bearing surface. A radial bore in a lug of the ultrasonic atomizer is a component part of the horn of the atomizer.
