  • Publication number: 20260016028
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for locking an actuator, preferably a locking sleeve, having two half-shells that are pivotable relative to one another between an open position and a locking position, which are configured in such a way that, in the locking position, the two half-shells are in abutment with each other at their end faces facing each other. The device does not have a bayonet lock, but a web-and-groove connection.

  • Patent number: 11869738
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conducting track fuse (1) for an electrical or electronic device, comprising: a first and a second connection region (2a, 2b); a nonlinearly extending burn-out region (3), which is arranged between the first and second connection regions (2a, 2b); and a covering element (15), which has at least two side walls (9) and a covering face (8), which covering element is arranged over the first and second connection regions (2a, 2b) and over the burn-out region (3), the burn-out region (3) and the covering element (5) being arranged relative to each other in such a way that the area of the covering face (8) covers the burn-out region (3) and a cavity (7) is formed between the burn-out region (3) and the covering face (8) as a result of the height of the side walls (9).

  • Patent number: 9656679
    Abstract: A brake unit for a vehicle has a brake cylinder, a brake piston guided axially in the brake cylinder and a device for adjusting a clearance. The device has two first stops, which strike against each other when the brake unit is opened, and two second stops, which strike against each other when the brake unit is closed. One of the first stops is formed on a blocking element functionally connected to the brake piston. One of the second stops is formed on the blocking element. A blocking member is in engagement with the blocking element under the force of a pre-stressing spring such that the blocking element is blocked by the blocking member when the first stops strike and can continue to latch in relation to the blocking member under the force of the brake piston when the second stops strike.

  • Patent number: 9586602
    Abstract: A brake unit for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, has a brake cylinder, a brake piston and a device for adjusting a clearance. The latter has two first stops that strike against each other when the brake unit is opened. One of the first stops is formed on a blocking element that is functionally connected to the brake piston. In order to be able to open the brake unit beyond the clearance, a blocking member is in engagement with the blocking element under the force of a pre-stressing spring. The blocking element is blocked by the blocking member when the first stops strike. Actuators displace the blocking member that is in engagement with the blocking element counter to a force of the pre-stressing spring into a position detached from the blocking element.

  • Publication number: 20150367826
    Abstract: A brake unit for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes an electrohydraulic setpoint value-force-conversion device having a container for providing hydraulic fluid, a brake cylinder connected to the container via a hydraulic line system and having brake pistons, and control devices suitably constructed so as, under the action of electric output signals of a setpoint-value-regulating device, to adjust an actual value, which acts upon the brake cylinder, of a hydraulic pressure in the brake cylinder. In a structurally advantageous manner, one of the control devices is a pump unit with which hydraulic fluid can be pumped out of the container into the brake cylinder and another of the control devices is suitably constructed to allow hydraulic fluid to flow out of the brake cylinder into the container. A vehicle with such a brake unit is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7658066
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an actuation device for the actuating of an adjustment surface of an aircraft such as an elevator, a rudder or the like, of landing gear or another aircraft or surface vehicle actuator, comprising an electrohydraulic actuator having a servo control cylinder, a pump for pressure fluid action on the servo control cylinder as well as an electric motor for the actuation of the pump, with the electric motor having a liquid cooling. In accordance with the invention, the actuation device is characterized in that a leak flow of the pump is guided over a leak passage through the electric motor to cool the electric motor.
