Abstract: A cable probe is provided which can be installed without special tools, in which the fixing of the cable (3) is achieved by tensile forces acting on the cable (3), and in which the cable (3) can be shortened by the customer to a length corresponding to requirements. It has a cable fixing device which has a member (4) with an axial, conical internal bore (41) tapering in the direction away from the housing. Arranged in the member (4) is a cone (5) tapering in the direction away from the housing, which tightly encloses the cable (3) and can be displaced thereon only by an external force, and which has an axial cylindrical bore (51) through which the cable (3) is guided and cut-outs (52) extending in the longitudinal direction of the cone and passing through the wall of the cone (5), whereby the cone (5) can be compressed in the radial direction so that the internal diameter of the cone (5) can be reduced.

Abstract: A process for surface treatment and wear resistant coating of opening rollers for open end spinning of the type having a basic metallic body and a raw wire clothing, includes the steps of introducing the opening roller into a sealing bath in such a way that this sealing bath fills even the smallest voids between the raw wire and the basic body of the roller, rinsing off the opening roller clean on the outside, heat treating the opening roller, and subjecting the opening roller thus pretreated to deburring and antiwear coating in a conventional manner.
