Abstract: A transverse flux electric induction heating apparatus is provided with a pair of transverse flux inductor assemblies where the inductor in each one of the pair of assemblies is formed from a pair of continuous flexible cables disposed within movable roll channels in roll assemblies that are used to adjust the transverse length of the inductor across the edge-to-edge transverse of a workpiece moving between the inductor in each one of the pair of assemblies and/or to adjust the pole pitch between transverse inductor lengths of each inductor in the pair of assemblies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pulley device for a tension roller or a roller of a transmission element providing a pulley, at least two rolling-element bearings and a sleeve, the rolling-element bearings being assembled adjacently on the sleeve before the pulley is formed by injecting material onto the rolling-element bearings.

Abstract: A tensioning device comprising a receiver housing, a lever arm mounted on the receiver housing and rotatable with respect to the receiver housing around a first rotation axis, a pulley mounted on the lever arm and rotatable with respect to the lever arm around a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis, and a spring mounted between the receiver housing and the lever arm and adapted to apply a torque for rotating the lever arm around the first rotation axis. The receiver housing and the lever arm are screwed together around the first rotation axis. The spring applies an axial damping effort, parallel to the first axis, on cooperating threaded portions respectively provided on the receiver housing and on the lever arm.

Abstract: An electric induction rail heater is provided for selectively adjusting the heated temperatures in a rail's head, web and foot sections after fabrication of the rail. Alternatively, the rail heater can be used for heating the opposing ends of two rails that are to be welded together. The electric induction rail heater is a transverse flux electric inductor that can be provided with or without magnetic cores.

Abstract: A sensor-carrier cap for a bearing of a wheel hub, the cap being made of plastic material and having a bottom wall arranged transversely to a central axis and providing a seat for accommodating a sensor, a cylindrical mounting wall extending axially from one side of the bottom wall around the axis; snap locking means projecting in a radially outer direction from the cylindrical wall, for locking the sensor-carrier cap on a tubular appendage of a wheel hub-bearing.

Abstract: A device for transporting and placing a bridge (1) of an offshore oil rig onto a floating or stationary mounting structure (3). The device has two parallel floating barges (10) for mounting the bridge (1). Each barge has a set of vertical movement rams (11) that move the bridge between a position of bearing on the barges (10) and a position of bearing on the structure (3). Each barge (10) has at least one assembly (15) for controlling the roll of each barge (10) in relation to the bridge (1) during the placement of the bridge onto the mounting structure (3). The assembly includes at least two rams (16) that are carried by the barge (10) and are located on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the barge (10). Each ram (16) is connected to the bridge (1) by a connecting member (17) that has rigid pull and flexible compression.
