Abstract: A fluid-operated actuating drive (1) on a valve, in particular a shut-off, safety or regulating valve, comprising a base unit (2) having control valves, two linear actuators (6, 7) which are located opposite of each other and can be actuated fluidically, and a mechanical converter (5) which is arranged between the two linear actuators and couples the gates thereof to each other, wherein the outlet of the converter is coupled to the inlet of the valve. To this end, the actuating drive is composed in a modular manner of individual components joined to form a functional unit in the form of the base unit, the two linear actuators and the mechanical converter.

Abstract: A device for transferring leadless components from a carrier type to a given mounting position on a circuit board. Removal of the components from the tape is effected by means of a punch and a suction pick-up. The component is pulled along alignment walls of a feeding channel into a slide chamber of a transfer slide. After having received the component, the slide moves to an end position; the component is lifted by a suction tube into an alignment chamber and is then placed on the circuit board. From the instant of transfer from the tape to the instant of mounting on the circuit board, the component is permanently held by suction due to subatmospheric pressure. Even after withdrawal of the suction pick-up, a subatmospheric pressure is maintained in the slide which holds the component during displacement of the slide until the suction tube lifts it again.
