Abstract: A laminated core can be contained in a rotor and/or in a stator and include at least one first sheet metal part assembly and at least one second sheet metal part assembly. The two sheet metal part assemblies are arranged alternately lying one against the other in a stacking direction. Every first sheet metal part has first teeth projecting from a connecting part radially relative to the axis of rotation. Correspondingly, every second sheet metal part has second teeth projecting from a second connecting part. The first teeth extend from the axis of rotation at a distance different from how far the second teeth extends from the axis of rotation to form a step to mesh the rotor with an associated stator and increase the air gap between them without increasing dimensions of the laminated cores in the stacking direction.

Abstract: The drawing press according to the invention includes a support structure for supporting a metal sheet holder which is part of a tool and supported on the press frame via the support structure. The metal sheet holder is assigned a plunger with a die tool, whereas the plunger is moved by means of a plunger drive which includes a blocking position. The blocking position is obtained, for example, by a drive which, in the blocking position does not transmit any movement of the drive output to the driving servomotor. This can be achieved, for example, by an eccentric drive in the stretched position thereof. For performing the actual drawing stroke, the stamping tool is vertically movably supported. A carriage is raised or lowered by the press table by means of a table drive. As table drive, preferably a servomotor with a non-linear drive, such as an eccentric drive is used.

Abstract: A sheet metal part (20) is produced from a starting sheet metal (27) and has at least one side edge (32) extending along the grain boundaries of the sheet metal material. Separating or breaking the starting sheet metal (27) at a separation location (28) is induced by forming a notch in the starting sheet metal or by cutting or scratching into the starting sheet metal. The starting sheet metal is clamped via a first portion (30) adjacently to the separation location (28). A second portion (31) disposed on the side of the separation location (28) opposite the first portion (30) is acted on to produce a bending moment M about a bending axis B at the separation location (28) and/or to produce a tensile force Z directed away from the separation location (28).

Abstract: A press with a press drive for moving a plunger in stroke direction (H). The press drive comprises two electric drive motors which are controllable independently of each other. The two drive motors are connected to the plunger via a drive unit. A control arrangement is provided for controlling the two drive motors. The control arrangement includes a characteristic plunger curve (K) which determines the plunger positions and/or the plunger movement and/or the plunger force dependent on time or dependent on a so-called virtual press angle. In addition, the control arrangement includes an additional condition which is independent of the characteristic plunger curve (K). Via the additional condition the operation of the press drive, for example, in an optimum operating range and/or a low-wear lubrication state of the support bearings of the drive unit can be ensured.

Abstract: A sheet-metal part or sintered part (10) for a stator or a rotor has a connection part (11) from which teeth (12) disposed at regular intervals project away. Each tooth has at least one first tooth segment (22) as well as at least one second tooth segment (23) produced from different magnetizable materials (M1, M2). In this way, the materials (M1, M2) can be used in targeted manner with regard to their magnetic and/or mechanical properties, in the region of the tooth (12), to optimize the magnetic and/or mechanical behavior of the tooth (12) and consequently of the sheet-metal part or sintered part (10). In particular, at least one first tooth segment (22) has a saturation magnetization BS1 greater than that of the remainder of the sheet-metal part or sintered part (10).

Abstract: To increase the cutting quality and to improve the operation of a press, in particular in punching high-strength martensitic materials or when punching thick sheet metal, a sheet metal holding device is provided for securely clamping the respective workpiece during the punching operation. The clamping force is increased to 40% or more of the ram force. The force exerted by the sheet metal holding device during the penetration of the workpiece can be further increased. The increase in the clamping force preferably takes place in a controlled manner as a function of the press angle.

Abstract: In a method of cutting high-tensile workpieces, in particular sheet metals of martensite steel, the workpiece is subjected to a bending stress prior and during a shearing process. The bending stress causes a substantial component of a tensile force transverse to a desired cutting contour. Tensile stresses are superimposed to the shearing stresses, which favor the beginning of the workpiece separation. The bending stress is preferably selected so that the resulting tensile stress exists at a side facing the cutting tool.
