Abstract: An adjustable rotor support with a carrier beam configured to receive a center shaft of a rotor, at least one support brace connected to the carrier beam, and an adjustment arrangement operably connected to the support brace(s). The adjustment arrangement is configured to generate movement of at least one of the support brace(s), movement of the support brace(s) generating movement of the carrier beam along an adjustment axis (A1) perpendicular to a center axis (A2) of the center shaft. The adjustment arrangement is configured to lock the support brace(s) in a position reached through the movement such that the position is maintained by the adjustment arrangement during operation of the rotor.

Abstract: A punch stripper is adapted to be fastened to a punch retainer of a press tool, and to retain a work piece as the piece is being machined by a punch. The punch stripper includes a punch stripper piston and a pressure chamber adapted to spring-load the punch stripper piston. The pressure chamber is at least partially defined by a gap between an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The punch stripper piston has a portion that is axially displaceable in the gap.
