  • Patent number: 11311888
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrostatic precipitator comprising an ionisation stage, a collector stage and a power supply. The power supply comprises a first high-voltage power supply unit for applying a first DC high voltage to the ionization stage and a second high-voltage power supply unit for applying a second DC high voltage to the collector stage. The first high-voltage power supply unit is configured to operate the ionization stage current-controlled. A current sensor required for this is advantageously arranged in the return line carrying low voltage, for which purpose the first high-voltage power supply unit and the second high-voltage power supply unit are galvanically isolated from the mains connection and from each other.

  • Patent number: 10967381
    Abstract: A transmission (1) for a feed and foodstuff roller mill (2) with a plurality of rotatably drivable rollers. The transmission (1) has a bearing housing (3) in which an input shaft (4), a first output shaft (5) and a second output shaft (6) are accommodated. The input shaft (4) and the first output shaft (5) are arranged perpendicular to one another and the first output shaft (5) and the second output shaft (6) are arranged parallel to one another. The input shaft (4) and the first output shaft (5) are operatively connected to one another via a bevel gearwheel pair (7, 7?), and the first output shaft (5) and the second output shaft (6) are operatively connected to one another via a torque transmitting arrangement.

  • Patent number: 7549514
    Abstract: An elevator with a 4:1 cable guidance includes a drive unit and a first deflecting roller arranged at a carrier supported at one end on a first car guide rail and a first counterweight guide rail and at the other end on a second counterweight guide rail. The guide rails are connected with the shaft wall by means of yokes, whereby the vertical rail forces are conducted into the shaft pit. A drive bracket arranged at the carrier carries the drive unit and the drive pulley. A roller bracket arranged at the carrier carries the first deflecting roller. In addition, a first cable fixing point and a second cable fixing point for opposite ends of a cable are arranged at the carrier. The second deflecting roller is supported on a second car guide rail.

  • Patent number: 6102163
    Abstract: An elevator system control box is mounted on an elevator car above or below a car door. The mounting position of the control box makes it possible for a service technician to reach elevator drive system components, such as a travel regulation unit, safety circuits, an optional drive regulation unit, a frequency inverter, etc., mounted in the control box conveniently standing at hand or eye level at a floor with the shaft doors opened.

  • Patent number: 5988930
    Abstract: A connecting apparatus for producing a firm, releasable and reproducible mechanical interconnection of two profile member ends includes a groove strip (6) with threaded holes, an apertured strap (1) with through holes and screws (7), wherein the profile members (4) to be connected have mounting grooves (5) for the reception of the groove strip (6). The apertured strap (1) has, formed on a support surface thereof, penetration elements (3) which project from the surface and which on tightening of the screws (7) penetrate in a cold-deforming manner into the material of the profile members (4) to be connected and thus yield a multiply mechanically positive connection. The penetration elements (3) are formed as grater gashes.
