  • Patent number: 9719767
    Abstract: A device for inspecting a profiled work pieces has a toothing, the profile metrologically detectable by the probe element of a profile probe. The profile and the profile probe are moved relative to one another and at right angles or tangentially to the measuring plane of the profile probe. The device measures work pieces having different numbers of teeth, modules and widths, directly after processing, on site and quickly, for accuracy and deviations, without special profiles for the toothing. The probe element of the profile probe can be applied to the profile of the work piece, can be applied to the profile edge of the work piece that is moving away from the probe element by the probe radius of the probe element, and subsequently, by the lateral surface of the probe element facing the profile edge opposite thereof, is configured so the probe element can be displaced from the profile gap.

  • Patent number: 7802348
    Abstract: A device for stretching webs of material transversely to a travel direction thereof, includes at least one rotary stretcher extending transversely to the travel direction of the web of material. The stretcher is composed of at least two round tubes which are aligned axially with each other and are supported by ball-and-socket joints on links. The links are mounted adjustably on a base frame.

  • Patent number: 7262593
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the tolerances of a workpiece has a measuring probe with two separate inductive coils arranged in a housing. A non-magnetizable sensing stylus designed to rest on a workpiece surface to be measured is arranged in the coils and has a deflector body that is a sleeve. The stylus and the deflector body are loaded into a measuring position. The housing has two essentially identical housing halves each having a plane surface with which the housing halves are connected to one another. The housing halves each have a recess and one of the inductive coils is inserted into one of the recesses, respectively. The opposed ends of the housing halves are provided with aligned bores that open into the recesses, respectively. The stylus is arranged coaxially in the inductive coils and has opposed stylus ends projecting through the bores outwardly from the two housing halves.

  • Patent number: 4609073
    Abstract: A progressive distributor 1 for lubricants is provided, where the lubricant is fed in under pressure via a joint channel 20 and then discharged in several discharge channels and ports 25 to 28. At least two successively disposed piston elements 4, 5 are each provided with a piston 8 in each case shiftable between two end positions in a cylinder bore 7 and provided with control grooves 9, 10. The piston subdivides the cylinder bore 7 into two outer metering chambers 17, 18 and at least one intermediately disposed control chamber 19. The piston elements 4, 5 are connected to each other such that the pistons 8 are shifted successively and that lubricant is transported from a metering chamber 17, 18 via a control chamber 19 to an output 25 to 28.
