  • Patent number: 11512736
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing unit for a turbocharger rotor. The bearing unit comprises a bearing housing and a bearing bush which is arranged in a central bore for radially mounting a turbocharger rotor in the bearing housing. In the region of a first axial end, the bearing bush has a radially outwardly extending projection. The projection is designed to interact with the bearing housing as an anti-rotation safeguard for the bearing bush.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7751923
    Abstract: A process for the automatic control of the thickness of extruded film lowers the deviations in the thickness of the film more quickly after the start of the extrusion process. The process includes the measurement of the thickness profile of the film just extruded by means of a thickness-measuring probe. The thickness-measuring probe is moved along the surface of the film substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the extruded film. The thickness-measuring probe records a thickness profile of the film for each measuring cycle at least over parts of the expansion of the film perpendicular to its conveying direction. While providing statistical values in relation to older measured values, the latest measured values during a predetermined time-frame at the start of the extrusion process are more heavily weighted by a computer than those measured during the normal operation.

  • Publication number: 20060244167
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the automatic control of the thickness of extruded film (8). The purpose of the invention is to lower the deviations in the thickness of the film more quickly after the start of the extrusion process. The process involves the measurement of the thickness profile of the film just extruded (8) by means of a thickness-measuring probe (12). The thickness-measuring probe (12) is moved along the surface of the film substantially perpendicular (x) to the conveying direction (z) of the extruded film (8). The thickness-measuring probe (12) records for each measuring cycle (MZ) a thickness profile (P) of the film (8) at least over parts of the expansion of the film (8) perpendicular (x) to its conveying direction (z).
