  • Publication number: 20240120792
    Abstract: A rotor of an electric asynchronous machine including a shaft, a rotor core and short-circuit rings attached to end faces of the rotor core. The shaft has an outer lateral radial surface, a cavity extending axially, at least one passageway located on the lateral surface, and at least one channel connecting the cavity to the passageway. The rotor core has at least one channel extending therein. At least one of the short-circuit rings is composed of at least two ring-shaped disks interconnected to form a disk pack. At least one disk of at least one short-circuit ring has recesses arranged such that a channel structure is formed in the short-circuit ring and is in fluidic connection with at least one channel of the rotor core and fluidically connects the at least one passageway on the shaft lateral surface to at least one channel of the rotor core.

  • Patent number: 11866265
    Abstract: A transport system (1) for transporting workpieces (2) which preferably consist at least in sections of wood, wood-based materials, plastic or the like, comprising at least one circulating transport means (15); a guide arrangement (4) for guiding the at least one circulating transport means (15); at least one sensor (10, 11, 12) for detecting at least one condition variable, in particular the preload force and/or instantaneous load on the at least one circulating transport means (15) and/or the dynamic behavior of at least one section (6, 8) of the transport system (1); and at least one actuator (13, 20) for influencing at least one condition variable of the transport system (1).

  • Publication number: 20170343434
    Abstract: A system for determining tension in a suspended rope includes an acceleration measuring device for measuring the acceleration of rope movement and an adapter for attaching the acceleration measuring device to the suspended rope. The system optionally includes a user device communicatively coupled to the acceleration measuring device. The user device computes rope tension based on the measured acceleration. The acceleration measuring device and user device can be combined into a single smart device. Examples of the system can accurately determine the tension in ropes used to suspend an elevator cabin, allowing a field technician to tighten the ropes to equal tension and to determine the weight of the cabin. In turn, a smoother and more secure operation of the elevator can be achieved.
