Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating pump which contains screw pistons of which one is in compression operation and the other is in suction operation in alternation. The invention further relates to a method for supplying lubricant, wherein a first screw piston is in a suction operation while a second screw piston is in a compression operation and vice versa, and wherein the two screw pistons are driven by means of a common gear train, which contains one piston gear for each screw piston.

Abstract: In a method for representing an object in a display, lines together with length information, starting point information and direction information are stored with regard to the object. The representation of the object is generated by a display of the directly adjacent, parallel lines.

Abstract: A cell for gas generation is provided, particularly for the operation of a lubricant dispenser. The cell has two electrodes to be connected to a circuit containing a power source, and an aqueous electrolyte fluid located between the two electrodes, containing an azide having the formula XN3, for electrochemical generation of a gas containing nitrogen (N2). The electrolyte fluid contains a magnesium salt as an additive, for chemical binding of hydroxide ions that are formed during the electrochemical reaction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a metering device for lubricant having a lubricant reservoir (1), a piston (3), which is arranged on a threaded spindle (2), within the lubricant reservoir and a drive head 4, which has a drive shaft (7) connected to the threaded spindle (2) and an electromechanical drive (5) for actuating the drive shaft. The drive shaft (7) contains a lubricant passage duct (8) which opens into the lubricant storage space of the lubricant reservoir. A ram (9) is inserted into the lubricant passage duct (8) of the drive shaft, said ram having an axial bore (10) with a nonreturn valve (11) on the inlet side, and also a ram head (13) which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner and is loaded by a compression spring (12). The ram head (13) bears under the effect of the compression spring (12) against a control surface (14) of the drive shaft (7).

Abstract: A device for supplying several lubrication points on machine parts with a lubricant, comprising an electromechanical lubrication dispenser and a distribution device coupled to a lubricant outlet of the dispenser. The distribution device has a housing, a cylindrical hollow distributor body or tube which is mounted to rotate about a vertical axis. There is also a fixed cylindrical sleeve that surrounds the distributor body, forming a seal. The distributor body has an opening at the top for allowing the lubricant in, and has at least two distributor bores disposed on the circumference but offset axially from one another. Each of these distributor bores has a corresponding opening bore in the distributor sleeve that is assigned to it. This distribution device also has an electric motor drive that has a running path control that has a switch that functions electromechanically or in a contact free manner.

Abstract: A measurement device is provided for early detection of damage to a machine part that is supplied with lubricant from a decentralized electromechanical lubricant dispenser. The device has a measurement sensor and a measurement instrument that has a circuit board having integrated circuits, interfaces for the measurement sensor and for a connection to an electronic control of the lubricant dispenser, as well as a battery, which is soldered onto the circuit board, in order to prevent voltage drops. The measurement sensor has a device for recording analog measurement signals, provided with power by the measurement instrument. Furthermore, the arrangement is made so that the integrated circuits release the power supply of the measurement sensor at predetermined intervals, only for a short period of time, and interrupt the power supply again after the current measurement values have been detected.

Abstract: A lubricant dispenser comprising a housing, a lubricant supply container, a plunger, a telescopic hollow spindle, and an electromechanical servo-drive for changing the length of the telescopic hollow spindle. One end of the telescopic hollow spindle is fixed on the housing. With its other end, the telescopic hollow spindle cooperates with a plunger containing a passage opening for lubricant. The telescopic hollow spindle has a lubricant passage channel in which at least one check valve is arranged on the inlet side. The telescopic hollow spindle alternately carries out setting strokes of different lengths that increase or reduce the length of the spindle. The setting strokes are coordinated with each other so that with a setting stroke of the telescopic hollow spindle increasing the length of the spindle, a preset amount of lubricant displaced by the movement of the plunger enters the lubricant passage channel through the opening check valve.

Abstract: A self-aligning roller bearing includes an external ring with one curved external track, an internal ring with two curved internal tracks, two rows of rollers disposed between the external and internal rings, and a guide ring. The guide ring is located between the rows of rollers and is preferably configured as an circular annular disk. The guide ring has a rectangular cross section with the center line of the cross section running parallel to the bearing axis. The guide ring may also be dimensioned in such a way that the rollers are axially prestressed. The front faces of the rollers which face the guide ring are configured in a manner that the front faces only touch the guide ring at one point.
