  • Patent number: 12043886
    Abstract: The present invention relates to extrusions for structural components, such as bumper, side impact beam, seat sill in vehicles and more particularly to a method for optimizing strength and energy absorption of 6XXX aluminium alloys extrusions by variations in thermomechanical ageing (TMA) consisting in i) an artificial preageing treatment with a duration t1 at a temperature T1 selected to increase the yield strength of said extrusion between 5% and 20%, said temperature T1 being typically between 120° C. and 180° C. and said duration t1 being typically between 1 and 100 hours, to obtain an artificially preaged extrusion, ii) a plastic deformation of said artificially preaged extrusion between 1% and 80% to obtain a deformed extrusion, iii) a final artificial ageing treatment of said deformed extrusion with a duration t2 at a temperature T2, said temperature T2 being typically between 140° C. and 200° C. and said the duration t2 being typically between 1 and 100 hours.

  • Patent number: 11913507
    Abstract: A disc brake for utility vehicles includes a brake disc, a first brake lining on a first side of the brake disc and a second brake lining on a second side of the brake disc opposite the first side. A spreading device is also provided which generates a force that moves the first and the second brake lining away from one another.

  • Patent number: 9744599
    Abstract: A tool head having a main body (2) that is rotatable about a tool head axis (5), a slide (6) for holding a cutting tool, the slide (6) being guided on the main body (2) in a slide guide (8) in a linearly moveable manner transversely to the tool head axis (5), and a clamping device (48) for clamping the slide (6) on the main body (2). The clamping device (48) has a clamping body (50) that is adjustable parallel to the tool head axis (5), the clamping body (50), in a clamping position, pressing a sliding face (46) of the slide (6) against a guiding surface (44) of the slide guide (8) with a clamping force (FN) being introduced.

  • Patent number: 8899135
    Abstract: A cutting tool setting system contains a tool head for the settable holding of a cutting tool, the head having an adjustment device for the cutting tool. The cutting tool setting system has a setting tool which can be mechanically removably engaged in the tool head at an interface for adjusting the adjustment device in the tool head. The setting tool contains a shaft body having a key part. A key engagement for actuating the adjustment device is designed on the tool head. The key part can be displaced relative to the shaft body in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body in order to selectively couple and release the key part of the setting tool and the key part at the interface of the tool head.
