  • Patent number: 7250584
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to prevent local spikes from being created in a contact element of a contact arrangement used for interrupting a current in a distribution network, said contact element comprising a contact support (8) that encompasses a hollow cylindrical wall section (9) and a bottom wall (10), and a contact disk (11) which is located opposite the bottom wall (10) in a longitudinal direction while slots (2) are provided for generating a magnetic field. Said aim is achieved by providing the slots (2) with rounded edges (3) having a defined radius.

  • Patent number: 6930270
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to optimize, in vacuum interrupters, the connection area (12, 13, 14) between housing parts (2, 3, 4, 5), which are coaxially assigned to one another, with regard to the complexity of production for centering measures and with regard to the execution of the soldering process. To this end, a ring-like discoidal centering means (15) is used, which is made of a silver-coated copper and which comprises centering lugs (18) located on a tubular flange (17) that is arranged on the inner periphery of the centering means. Said centering lugs extend in an axial direction of the coaxial assignment and are provided in the form of tabs that point toward the ring-like discoidal area (24) of the centering means. The centering means is thereby overlapped by a tubular copper part, which is joined to the centering means and which serves as a shielding (10) inside the vacuum interrupter.

  • Publication number: 20050061090
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system (1) which has an electrical machine (3) and a belt drive (2), with the belt drive (2) having an input drive end (20) and an output drive end (22), in which case the input drive end (20) can be driven by means of the electrical machine (3), and in which case at least one electric current in the electrical machine (3) can be measured by means of a current measurement device (12). According to the invention, a means is provided for defect identification (13) for the belt drive (3), with the means for defect identification (13) being provided at least for comparison of at least one actual value (51) with at least one nominal value (52), and with the actual value (51) and the nominal value (52) being a variable which is dependent on the electric current in the electrical machine (3). Defect identification of a belt drive (2) can thus be achieved in a simple manner.

  • Patent number: 6835057
    Abstract: An injection unit for an injection-molding machine for processing thermoplastic material is designed in such a way that a direct drive (EM) which meets high dynamic requirements is used for the injection operation and that a standard motor (DM), the rotational speed of which is optimized to the material preparation process by a gear mechanism (R, RS1, RS2), is used for the material preparation, in which such dynamic requirements do not exist.

  • Patent number: 5847347
    Abstract: To allow soldering of all parts of the housing including the tubular shield of a vacuum interrupter in a single operation, the metal cap (9) made of silver-plated copper enclosing the two contacts (1, 2) is provided with peripheral structuring (10, 11) on its rim (19) that is to be soldered to an end face of the hollow cylindrical insulator (12). At its flange-like rim (17), the tubular shield (16) is in contact with the same end face of the insulator (12) over spacer knobs (20) distributed around its circumference.

  • Patent number: 5661281
    Abstract: To be able to reliably switch high short-circuit currents in the case of a vacuum-type interrupter of small construction, first of all the annular insulator (6), which together with two cap-like metal parts (5,7) forms the housing of the vacuum-type interrupter, is disposed concentrically to the bellows (10), which, in turn, is soldered to the movable contact in the immediate vicinity of the contact member (2). Secondly, a cap-shaped protective shield (9) open toward the arc gap is disposed at the base of the movable contact member (2).

  • Patent number: 4746777
    Abstract: A vacuum switching tube comprises a simply-constructed housing which is established in that cap-like metal portions are soldered blunt to the end faces of a ceramic portion, in that the metal parts comprise a cylindrical region of reduced wall thickness in the region of the ceramic parts, in that a step is formed in the inner wall at the transition to the thick-wall region to the thin-wall region, in that a vapor shield comprises an expanded edge region, and in that the edge region lies against the thin-wall cylindrical region and against the step and is soldered thereto. The tube is suitable for vacuum switching tubes in which the temperature coefficient of the metal portions is not matched to the temperature coefficient of the ceramic portion.
