  • Patent number: 12728492
    Abstract: A device for mechanical overload protection in a drive train of a machine tool, the drive train having an output side with an output shaft and an input side with a motor shaft. The output shaft is operatively connected to the motor shaft by way of a connector, the device for mechanical overload protection being formed by a press-fit connection between the connector-on the one side and the motor shaft or the output shaft on the other side. A method for producing such a device for mechanical overload protection in a machine tool is also provided. The peak torques in the drive train, which preferably occur for a short time, can be significantly reduced and the machine tool and its mechanical components can be protected from damage in the event of a blockage.

  • Publication number: 20260247518
    Abstract: A plasma torch head, for interior coatings of rotationally symmetrical, asymmetrical, or freeform surfaces in concave or convex-shaped cavities with a distance between the surfaces to be coated greater than 40 mm using a plasma spraying process, includes a cathode whose tip has a surface roughness of less than Ra 0.2 ?m and grooves running in the axial direction of the cathode, which is secured the cathode holder Gas tightness with respect to the plasma gas is ensured by high-temperature resistant O-rings, one O-ring preventing gas leakage between the cathode holder and insulation ring, and another preventing gas leakage between the insulation ring and anode. In the cathode holder, the outflow velocity of the plasma gas in holes above the center of the cathode is lower than below the center. A plasma torch head reduces voltage fluctuations over the entire operational life of the torch head and extends its service life.

  • Patent number: 12667540
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-erodible, water-soluble or water-dispersible active-ingredient-administering form, in which, firstly, a film suitable as an oral film-administering form is produced which contains the active ingredient and in which a surface of the film is activated in a subsequent step in order to generate a tacky surface, followed by rolling up the activated film to form a rolled-up laminate. The present invention also relates to rolled-up laminates produced according to this method. Corresponding laminates are very stable, such that they can be dispensed and cut, and are suitable on account of their area density, which is very high by comparison with conventional OTF products, for administering active ingredients which have to be given in larger amounts.

  • Publication number: 20260175288
    Abstract: A casting mold for producing a casting having a front and a rear side from a curable casting compound, having at least one first mold part with a front mold face that shapes the front side and a second mold part with a rear mold face that shapes the rear side, which mold parts conjointly delimit a casting cavity. Provided on the rear mold face is a first fastening interface and provided on an insert part, by way of which a through hole on the casting is to be formed, is a second fastening interface. The insert part in the case of a closed mold bears on the rear mold face as well as on the front mold face. The two fastening interfaces are releasably connectable to one another in such a manner that, when removing the second mold part from the cured casting, the first fastening interface is automatically released from the second fastening interface.
