Abstract: In a flexible disk (10) made of rubber-elastic material and having a central axis (A) at least two first and two second connection bodies (32, 34) are inserted alternately, with their own axis (B) parallel to the central axis (A), around the axis (A), at angular distances from one another; they are intended to be fastened each to one of the shaft ends. Flexible inserts (20) are moreover embedded in the flexible disk (10) and extend around adjacent connection bodies (32, 34). For effecting the mutual centring of the two shaft ends a centring device (40) is provided, which comprises a first and a second end plate (22, 24), which are arranged centred in relation to one another each against one end face (12, 14) of the flexible disk (10) and are pivotable about a joint centre (C) lying on the central axis (A).

Abstract: Centering device for the mutual centering of two shaft ends Two shaft ends (10, 20), which are in torque-transmitting connection with one another and are to a limited extent axially displaceable, rotatable and deflectable with respect to one another, are mutually centered by a stud (36), which extends axially from a first of the two shaft ends (10), and a bearing (40), which is arranged in a cavity (28) of the second shaft end (20) in the cavity (28) and receives the stud (36).

Abstract: To enable prescribed functional values of pressure plate units of motor vehicle friction clutches to be observed with smaller tolerances than hitherto, it is proposed that a housing-spring component initially be pre-assembled from clutch housing (1) and diaphragm spring (7) and that this component be measured together with a master pressing plate. Geometry (diameter 25 and axial height 27) which is optimum for minimum tolerances of a contact bevel 15 is calculated by means of the measured result, and a pressing plate (13) with this bevel geometry is produced. The measured spring-housing component is finally assembled together with this specially produced pressing palte 913).

Abstract: A separating or anticaking agent consisting of spherical glass particles having a diameter of 3 to 30.mu. is added to polyester resin granulates to prevent agglomeration during solid state polycondensation in a plug-flow reactor. Thin-walled articles formed from the end product are characterized by high strength, high transparency, crystal clear color, good gas impermeability and a smooth surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the continuous production of high molecular weight polyethylene terephthalate by polycondensation in the solid phase wherein granulated, dried polyethylene terephthalate, having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.15, is first crystallized and is thereafter subjected to solid state polycondensation.
