  • Publication number: 20220045494
    Abstract: A metal, electrically conductive tube, and electrical lines positioned in the tube for electrically powering a building, is provided. The tube includes tube sections connected by a tubular metal and electrically conductive connection part. The tube sections have end sections facing one another. The connection part extends with its inner surface facing outer surfaces of overlapping sections of the tube sections. The connection of the tube sections is achieved by plastic deformation of the connection part in the overlapping sections. A respective contact is provided between the inner surface and the outer surfaces and ensures the electrically conductive connection between the first end section, the connection part and the second end section via an indentation in the inner surface or the outer surfaces, or via fluidic contact between the outer surfaces and the inner surface.

  • Publication number: 20210379746
    Abstract: A method for operating a hydraulically actuated work tool having a work jaw is provided. Once an increase in force applied as a result of a hydraulic pressure has been reached, the work process does not require any further force or a maximum permissible hydraulic pressure has been reached. The hydraulic pressure is applied by a pump piston that travels through a pump path and a return path in each pump cycle. The hydraulic pressure is recorded over a time for a change from a pressure increase range to a pressure-maintaining range corresponding substantially to a specific pressure value from the pump path into the return path. At the end of a pump cycle, if the reached pressure-maintaining range exceeds a predefined pressure-maintaining range, an indication is concluded that the tool needs to be checked for a break in the work jaw.

  • Publication number: 20210339367
    Abstract: A pressing tool performs a pressing operation for the press fitting of parts. One part can have different outer dimensions within a specified range. A tool part acts on the part, is a part of a pivoting jaw which has an action surface, and can be pivoted about a pivot axis from a starting position having a greatest opening width to a pressing position having a smaller opening width. A hydraulic piston movable in a hydraulic cylinder applies a piston force, depending on a hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. A higher pressing force is in effect when a greater opening width of the pivoting jaw is provided and when the maximum piston force is reached. When any opening width that is smaller than the greater opening width is provided, a pressing force lower than the higher pressing force is in effect when the maximum piston force is reached.

  • Patent number: 10888915
    Abstract: The invention relates first to a device for applying a pressing force, comprising two pressing jaws (25, 26) which can be moved linearly relative to each other via a hydraulic piston-cylinder assembly (8). Additionally, an actuation cone (13) is provided for an expanding device (36), said cone carrying out a forward and rearward movement depending on an actuation of the hydraulic piston-cylinder assembly (8). In order to advantageously develop the device, the actuation cone (13) is connected to the hydraulic piston (9) of the hydraulic piston-cylinder assembly (8) for the forward and rearward movement. The invention further relates to a device for applying a pressing force, comprising two pressing jaws which can be moved linearly relative to each other and which can be held in receiving areas and to a pair of pressing jaws.

  • Patent number: 10688646
    Abstract: A method for operating a hydraulically operated hand-held device is provided. The hand-held device includes a hydraulic pump, a moving part, a fixed part and a return valve with an associated valve seat. The moving part can be displaced into a working position by a build-up of hydraulic pressure produced by filling a hydraulic chamber with hydraulic medium from a storage chamber using the hydraulic pump. The moving part can be automatically moved back from the working position into an end position by opening the return valve, if a predetermined working pressure is reached. The hydraulic pressure acting upon the return valve for triggering a movement of the moving part into the end position is increased independently of reaching the predefined working pressure.

  • Publication number: 20200180049
    Abstract: A tool configured to cut a workpiece includes a tool head which has a receiving contour in which the workpiece is received, and a movable cutting edge with a cutting contour. In the course of a cutting process, the cutting edge passes through the receiving contour. The cutting edge is subjected to the effect of an advancement part and can be moved to such an extent in the cutting direction(s) that it can pass all the way through the workpiece. In an embodiment, a position of the cutting edge reached after the cutting edge has passed all the way through the workpiece, the cutting edge, with removal from the advancement part, can be moved out from the cutting direction(s).

  • Publication number: 20200147772
    Abstract: A hydraulically operated handheld device and a method of operating same are provided. The device includes a hydraulic pump, a moving part, a fixed part and a return valve with an associated valve seat. The moving part is moved into a working position due to the buildup of a hydraulic pressure by filling a hydraulic chamber with hydraulic medium from a reservoir with the aid of the hydraulic pump. The moving part can be automatically moved back from the working position into an end position upon reaching a predefined working pressure by opening the return valve. The hydraulic pressure acting upon the return valve is increased by a separately triggerable pressure increase, which results in opening of the return valve, in a hydraulic medium volume located upstream of the return valve in a flow direction of the hydraulic medium during the movement into the end position.

  • Patent number: 10562254
    Abstract: A method of operating a motor-actuated handheld pressing unit includes actuating a switch to initiate a pressing operation whereby one or more pressing jaws are moved from a starting position to a closed pressing position; automatically releasing the one or more pressing jaws by using a pressing piston when a prescribed pressing force has been reached, the pressing piston being actuated hydraulically by a hydraulic medium; and checking the reaching of the prescribed pressing force by using a pressure sensor to detect the pressure of the hydraulic medium. In an embodiment, the release of the pressing jaws may be interrupted. In an embodiment, a motor moves the jaws from the starting position to the closed pressing position. In an embodiment, the pressing force is continuously measured on intervals of less than one second.
