Abstract: A tool storage system stores tool holders for use in machine tools. The tool holders hold tools such as milling cutters, taps, drills, reamers, chamfering or deburring tools or the like. The tool holders may have standard taper-shanks. A receptacle is provided for each tool holder. The receptacles are arranged on a generally vertical array and hold the tool holders generally horizontally. The tool holders may be retained by engagement of a pull stud in the receptacle. The generally vertical array arrangement permits storing a large number of tools in a small footprint. In embodiments, a computer system provides functions for managing the tools and/or jobs in which the tools are used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gear for conveyors which has a drive shaft to which a drive motor is to be fastened as well as an output shaft with which the gear is connected to the conveyor. However, at least one gear step is provided within the gear. Moreover, the gear is provided with a freewheel locking in one direction of rotation. A second gear step is provided in this case between the freewheel and the elements transmitting torque between drive and output shaft during normal operation, so that the freewheel should be operated at a higher speed and must only provide a low holding moment in the event of a stoppage.
