  • Publication number: 20240268880
    Abstract: Modular generator system comprising at least two generator types which are composed of a plurality of generator components and differ with regard to their equipment and/or functions. The generator components comprise a power supply and an inverter for generating an output energy for an electrosurgical instrument. The generator types are each of modular design with a plurality of modules: (i) at least one uniform base module having a communication unit, and (ii) at least one individual module which may differ depending on generator type. Individual modules can be a module for the power supply, a module for the inverter, a module for the output connection. Different generator types differ with regard to their individual module equipment. By virtue of such a two-tier module concept, namely uniform base module and differing individual modules, a maximum number of variants can be achieved with a minimum number of different modules.

  • Patent number: 12049944
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw drive comprising a threaded spindle nut, a horizontal threaded spindle, a plurality of planetary rolling elements having a planetary rolling element profile, and at least two planetary guide rings. The threaded spindle is arranged concentrically in the planetary guide rings and the spindle nut. The planetary guide rings can be rotated relative to the threaded spindle and the planetary rolling elements are mounted so as to be rotatable about their associated planetary rolling element axis in the planetary guide rings and inside the spindle nut. The planetary rolling element profile of the planetary rolling elements meshes with the threaded spindle. The planetary guide rings are connected to a housing case for conjoint rotation, and the housing case has a housing case lateral surface on which a toothing is formed for coupling in a geared manner to with a continuous traction mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20230265916
    Abstract: A method for setting an axial preload force of a roller screw drive (3) which is rotatably mounted in a housing (2) by means of bearings (4, 5) which are axially spaced apart from one another. The housing (2) is split transversely with respect to the thrust rod (7) into a first and a second housing part (8, 9). The roller screw drive (3) is inserted with the two bearings (4, 5) into the second housing part (9). An axial preload force is applied which is transmitted from the first bearing (4) via the roller screw drive (3) to the second bearing (5). An axial load spacing (“X”) between the bearing supporting surface of the first bearing (4) and a second housing edge (31) of the second housing part (9) is measured. An adjusting nut (10) is screwed into the first housing part (8) until an axial adjustable spacing between the end-side adjusting nut supporting surface (12) and the first housing edge (30) of the first housing part (8) is the same size as the measured axial load spacing (“X”).
