Abstract: The invention relates to an axial piston machine (1), in particular an axial piston pump or axial piston motor, comprising a displacement piston (24, 26) that delimits a displacement chamber (22) and that is displacably mounted in a cylinder bore (20). Said invention is characterised in that two displacement pistons (24, 26) that delimit the displacement chamber (22) and that are associated with each other can be displaced in a common cylinder bore (20) in opposite directions in relation to each other.

Abstract: In an axial piston pump having an oblique disk, the axial piston pump includes a piston drum with pistons disposed therein that are displaceable by way of a holder that runs along the oblique disk. The angle of engagement of the oblique disk can be increased. On the outer side of a spherical adjustment surface provided on a component of a shaft, there are at least two glide blocks that are rotatable about a rotational mount and that exhibit an axial extent with respect to the drive shaft axis. For the purpose of transmitting torque from the drive shaft to a holder, the glide blocks are engaged with grooves that are provided in the holder, and in particular in the wall of the holder that circumscribes a receiving bore of the holder.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for controlling the physical properties of a rod of smokable material the actual values of at least two physical properties, in particular resistance to draw and hardness or deformation of the tobacco rod or of the smokable article, are detected; the differences between said actual values and predetermined desired values are determined and control signals derived therefrom; said control signals are compared with each other and the particular instantaneously largest control signal is supplied to a single actuator, that is an ecreteur or a hopper. An auto-selector circuit with maximum selection is used to compare the control signals.

Abstract: An apparatus for optical monitoring of the surface of rod-shaped smoking articles and/or filter rods for the tobacco industry comprises a conveying means transporting the rods perpendicularly to their longitudinal direction and a high-pressure lamp which serves as light source and which is connected via an optical fibre cable to a sensor block; the optical fibre cable is divided amongst at least two cross-section transformers with strip-shaped light exit regions whose light rays are directed via a further optical system from above and below respectively onto the line-shaped region of the surface of the rod. In addition the sensor block contains a row of photoelectric transducers which simultaneously the line-shaped surface region in the longitudinal direction of the rod and thereby pick up the light reflected at the surface of the rod.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the longitudinal edges of a rod-shaped object moving in its longitudinal direction, in particular a tobacco or filter rod, comprises a light source, at least one beam divider for dividing the light beam coming from the light source into at least two light beams sweeping over the edge regions of the object, an optical deflection system for sweeping the two light beams over the object, two photodetectors for the light beams and an evaluating means for determining the position of the longitudinal edges from the instants of the bright/dark transitions at the two photodetectors on the one hand and the instantaneous positions of the light beams on the other hand. The or each beam divider generates two light beams which are parallel to each other and move in opposite directions over the object.
