Patent number: 10418793Abstract: A switching device including a switching unit with one or more electric poles having an insulating casing. The switching device is reversibly movable between an insertion position, at which said switching unit is electrically connected with an electric line, and a withdrawal position, at which said switching unit is electrically disconnected from said electric line. One or more actuating elements may be operatively coupleable with an actuating mechanism of a shutter device to operate one or more shutters of the shutter device during the movement of the switching device. The actuating elements may be fixed to the switching unit. At least one of the actuating elements includes a first mechanical connection with the insulating casing of at least one of the electric poles, and the insulating casing of at least one of the electric poles includes a second mechanical connection with at least one of the actuating elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Gabriele Gasparini, Gianluca Cortinovis, Giorgio Moriconi

Patent number: 6084492Abstract: A bistable permanent-magnet actuator is disclosed having a tailored switching/position force characteristic, with an adequate, modifiable holding force in the end positions. The actuator is characterized in that the yoke is formed by two parts that are mounted so as to face each other and are separated by two gaps. The dimensions of the air gaps may be tailored to obtain intended characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1997Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: ABB Research Ltd.Inventors: Carlo Cereda, Giorgio Moriconi, Giulio Secondo
