  • Publication number: 20100293933
    Abstract: A hydraulic aggregate for supplying a hydraulic cylinder in consecutive load strokes is monitored for its working load in order to determine the condition of the aggregate automatically. For this purpose, the time integral of the pressure is determined for each load stroke. The pressure and duration are processed into a characteristic number which indicates the wear. This makes it possible to diagnose the condition of the hydraulic aggregate at any time.

  • Publication number: 20100175240
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for joining components by means of tensioning bolts. According to said method, the pressure is linearly increased over time when the tensioning bolt is hydraulically tensioned by means of a tensioning device. When a target value (Pmax) is reached, the volume is blocked so that no more hydraulic oil is supplied. The pressure decreases when the components show a setting behavior during a holding time (tH). Pumping is resumed when a lower threshold value (Pi) is reached, resulting in a pressure increase up to the target value (Pmax). The invention prevents a setting process of the components from preventing that the projected pretension of the tensioning bolt is reached.

  • Publication number: 20100170689
    Abstract: The hydraulic aggregate comprises, within a container (10), a reservoir (11) for hydraulic oil. A pump (15) driven by a motor (18) is arranged in the reservoir (11). The motor (18) is a pneumatic motor. An electric control unit (30) for controlling a main valve (23) is mounted on the container (10). The main valve causes a reversal of the stroke direction of the hydraulic connections (13,14). The division into pneumatics and low power electronics leads to an explosion-proof embodiment of low weight and little technical complexity.

  • Patent number: 7743673
    Abstract: A power wrench (10) for turning a screw is supplied by a hydraulic unit (25) that contains a positive displacement pump (26) and supplies a defined rate of flow. The pressure in a hydraulic pressure line (28) is measured by a pressure sensor (32) and provided to a control unit (31). The volume flow of the hydraulic unit (25) is determined in amount per unit of time. The piston stroke per unit of time can be determined due to the fact that the filling volume of the hydraulic cylinder is known. The piston acts upon a lever system that turns the moving part. The turning angle per unit of time can be determined due to the fact that the lever length is known. This makes it possible to dispense with an angle measuring device and to determine the turning angle merely by measuring pressure.

  • Publication number: 20100025454
    Abstract: Many known solder alloys according to prior art utilize silicon or boron as melting point reducers, which, however, form brittle phases that have an undesirable effect on the thermo-mechanical properties. The invention relates to a solder ally that comprises gallium and/or germanium, preferably forms the Y? phase and has improved mechanical properties.

  • Publication number: 20090233520
    Abstract: A boom assembly for a bucket of a toy vehicle comprises at least one bucket bearer, which is articulated to a frame of the toy vehicle by a first swivel joint, and at least one telescopic support with two telescopic elements, which can be displaced in telescopic manner with respect to one another. One of the telescopic elements is articulated to the bucket bearer by a second swivel joint, the other telescopic element is articulated to the frame by a third swivel joint. Furthermore, at least one latch mechanism is provided, the latch mechanism having a latch body which is provided on one of the telescopic elements, and a counter body which is provided on the bucket bearer. The bodies of the latch mechanism are positioned with respect to one another such that when the bucket bearers are moved from a lowered basic position into a raised position, the latch body comes to rest against the counter body before the raised position is reached, the telescopic support being bent with the production of a bending tension.

  • Publication number: 20080302097
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic group comprising a reservoir (28) for oil, in which a multiple piston pump (60) is arranged. The individual pumps (61) are cyclically driven by an eccentric ring (29). In order to ensure a permanent immersion of the individual pumps in the reservoir (28), an auxiliary reservoir (47) providing oil for refilling the reservoir (28) is arranged above the reservoir. The auxiliary reservoir (47) is connected to an additional tank (45) by means of a connection line (48).

  • Patent number: 7200992
    Abstract: The control of the pressure supply to a piston-cylinder unit (10) is effected by monitoring the pressure in the corresponding line (16) through a pressure sensor (22). This pressure is measured in fixed time intervals and the changes in pressure are determined. When the change in pressure has become zero, it is detected that the set terminal pressure has been reached so that the working operation is ended. A switching to the return stroke is effected when the pressure increase in at least one time interval is greater than in at least one of the previous intervals of the working operation. The control is independent from the type of piston-cylinder unit employed and requires no sensors at the piston-cylinder unit.

  • Patent number: 7000486
    Abstract: In the method for controlling an intermittent screw process first a torque mode (DMM) is applied in which the torque is continuously measured. Upon attainment of a pre-torque (MF) a rotation angle mode (DWM) is carried out in which the rotation angle is measured. Proceeding from the rotation angle ?=0 (corresponding to the pre-torque (MF)) the rotation angle (?) is counted up during each stroke. In this connection that torque (MHE) is stored which has been reached at the end of the stroke. During the next stroke the angle (?) is continued to be counted only when the torque (MHE) at the stroke end of the previous stroke has been reached again. Upon attainment of a target angle (?z) the screw process is terminated.
