Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an annular element comprising an inner toothing, especially a sliding sleeve. An outlet ring element (10) can be arranged in an extrusion device (90) which comprises an annular matrix element (13) with an inner bore hole (12), a sleeve stamping device which is arranged therein and comprises a first (15) and second (17) annular sleeve stamping element which can be moved in relation to each other in the inner bore hole (12), and an inner stamping device comprising a first (19) and second (21) inner stamping element and first (27?) and second (27?) partial regions which are interspaced in the circumferential direction. When the inner stamping device is closed, said partial regions form cavities (27) for producing the inner toothing.

Abstract: In a press production series for massive forming with a toggle drive for driving a ram, varying stroke speeds of the ram motion are attached by adjustment of cogwheels of an planetary gear system having fixed connecting dimensions. Uniform machine frames can thus be used.

Abstract: A press product line of presses for massive forming has toggle lever transmissions for driving a slide. Different slide strokes and path-time characteristic curves of the slide movement are achieved starting with uniform blank components. The critical dimensions, i.e., the bearing locations of the toggle lever transmission on the machine frame, are constant within the entire press product line, so that at least to that extent, uniform machine frames can be used. Specially desired path-time progressions are achieved through appropriate fine machining of the blank components (eccentric, connecting rod and link bars).

Abstract: An adjusting plate (20) for a transfer press (1) has several individually adjustable tool mounting sites (bearing devices). An individually adjustable adjusting device (25) is assigned to each mounting site (15a, 16a, 17a, 18a). Sensor devices (36) provide an acknowledgment concerning the set adjusting position. The adjusting devices (25) are also connected with individual blocking devices (51). The adjustment and blocking take place by way of corresponding hydraulic drives (35, 52) or can take place manually.
