Patent number: 9091300Abstract: A rolling-element bearing includes inner and outer rings, a cage with pockets disposed therebetween, and rolling elements respectively retained in the pockets. The cage has a guiding section extending along the axial length of the rolling elements. The distance between a radially-inner surface of the guiding section and the rotational axis of the bearing progressively decreases at least in sections along the axial direction of the rolling-element bearing from a point of the guiding section that is most distant from the rotational axis. A conveying section of the cage connects to that most-distant point and extends outside or away from the axial length of the rolling elements. The distance between a radially-inner surface of the conveying section and the rotational axis progressively decreases at least in sections in the axial direction away from the rolling elements. A lubricant collection channel is defined between the guiding section and the conveying section.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Matthias Schuler, Volker Wendt

Publication number: 20050055348Abstract: “XSteps” are modular data objects that model performance of various operations in a manufacturing process. Designers of manufacturing processes can build complex manufacturing systems from the modular XSteps and may enter parameter information that defines inputs to the corresponding XSteps. An XStep may include a parameter array defining different variables that determine behavior of the manufacturing operation represented by the XStep, a process instruction attribute that includes instructions to be delivered to automatic- or manually-driven manufacturing processes when the manufacturing operations are performed and an actuals attribute to capture manufacturing data as the manufacturing operations are performed. Thus, the present invention provides an integrated view into automatic, semi-automatic and manually-driven manufacturing processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2003Publication date: March 10, 2005Inventors: Sabine Deimel, Klaus Mildenberger, Martin Schmidt, Christine Jaensch, Sabine Seelenmeyer, Matthias Schuler, Christoph Scheiber

Patent number: 6384323Abstract: The invention is an improvement to a high-frequency-shielded switchgear cabinet having a cabinet body which can be or is composed of wall elements and has at least one opening which can be closed by a cabinet door. Gaps formed in the cabinet body and between the cabinet body and door can be closed or sealed so as to be high-frequency-shielded by means of electrically and magnetically conductive sealing strips. In order to attain a corrosion-free switchgear cabinet which has a long service life and can be easily produced, the wall elements and cabinet door are made of aluminum-zinc-coated sheet metal and are provided at least in regions facing the gaps to be sealed without additional surface-protecting coverings. The sealing strips are directly connected to the untreated surface of the wall elements and/or cabinet door.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1998Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbHInventors: Oskar Elm, Walter Nicolai, Jürgen Schnaubelt, Matthias Schüler

Patent number: 5761797Abstract: A process for the erection of a switch cabinet and installation of components therein in which portions of the framework of the switch cabinet are assembled to form a partial frame structure. Thereafter, the services are installed and wired within the partial frame structure. The assembly of the framework is then completed and the walls and doors secured thereto so as to form an enclosed switch cabinet with the services installed inside.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5303893Abstract: A rotary coupling for connecting a control device housing to a support arm or an elbow of a support arm system, having a rotating ring fixedly connected to the control device housing and partially rotatable in relation to a coupling piece which is connected to the support arm or the elbow. For equalization of tolerances caused by insufficient twist rigidity of the support arm system, the invention provides that the coupling piece forms a peripheral bearing ring which is convexly arched outwardly and is received in and supported by two shell rings. The shell rings are connected to each other and have concavely arched bearing surfaces. The shell rings are rigidly mounted on the bearing ring of the coupling piece by a clamping cheek. The rotating ring is rotatably maintained on the shell rings by a support ring which is connected to the shell rings.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1992Date of Patent: April 19, 1994Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5290612Abstract: A bracket for a suspension system for control units, control panels and the like, including a support body portion, having a substantially U-shaped base profile portion that is subdivided, by means of a separation rib extending parallel to its rib, into a closed supporting part and an open, U-shaped receiving part remote from the rib, in which continuous, longitudinally oriented screw receptacles are formed on the support part and the receiving part. To improve the torsional rigidity of the bracket and the entire suspension arrangement, the support part is stiffened in the longitudinal direction of the support body portion by means of two continuous diagonal ribs, which are joined together in the middle, and the screw receptacles of the support part are constructed in the corner regions that the diagonal ribs form with the base profile section.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.
