Abstract: A measuring system comprises a stand having a base plate and a vertical column fastened thereto, a stand carriage that is movable along the vertical column and having a counter bearing for placing the object, a runner that is fastened to the stand carriage and is movable relative thereto in a guided manner and has an indenter for penetrating the object, having at least one force generation actuator, at least one motion generation actuator, wherein the indenter is coupled to the stand carriage via the actuators. The measuring system further comprises a metrology frame which is fastened to the counter bearing and is supported laterally on the vertical column, a displacement measuring unit for measuring a displacement of the stand carriage and/or the runner with the indenter. The measuring system comprises a force measuring circuit and a displacement measuring circuit both being are largely configured separately from one another.

Abstract: A component, in particular a structural component for a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The component has a basic body formed from a hot-formable steel, which is provided with a coating at least in one partial region. The coating has a first layer of aluminum-silicon and at least one second layer, where the first layer is arranged between the basic body and the second layer. The second layer is formed from zinc-cobalt or zinc-manganese or from manganese. A method for producing a component, in particular a structural component for a motor vehicle, is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a component of a synchronization device for manual transmissions, in particular a synchronizer ring (1, 2, 3), wherein a round blank produced from metal is formed in a plurality of forming steps. In order to simplify the production process, it is proposed according to the invention that at least one of the forming steps is a hot forming step in which the round blank is partially heated to a temperature of more than 600° C. and is then formed in the partially heated forming portion.
