Abstract: A device for receiving a workpiece for a workpiece carrier circulation system of a production machine is provided, including a workpiece carrier with a workpiece receiver and a holder to be arranged on the machine for receiving the workpiece carrier in a detachable, temporary manner. The workpiece carrier includes a rotor section (5) which, when the workpiece carrier is received in the holder, interacts with a stator (20) provided on the holder, forming a torque motor and thus being rotatable about an axis in the holder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a deceleration arrangement (10) of a motor vehicle with at least one regenerative braking device (12) which is designed to decelerate the motor vehicle by means of a variable braking torque and to generate electrical energy corresponding to the braking torque. A return speed of an operating element for driving the motor vehicle, in particular an accelerator pedal (22), is detected (S2). A predefined braking torque is exerted (S5) by the regenerative braking device (12) if the return speed and/or a variable correlating thereto exceed(s) or fall(s) below a predefined threshold value.

Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive device for a motor vehicle. The hybrid drive device includes at least one first drive unit and one second drive unit. The first drive unit and the second drive unit can be operatively connected mechanically by means of a clutch. To start the first drive unit, the clutch is at least partially closed, and the first drive unit is thus accelerated by means of the second drive unit. During the starting of the first drive unit, the second drive unit is operated with speed regulation.

Abstract: A drive device (10) for a valve (1), to a valve (1) for controlling a gas and/or liquid flow (40), and a system (60) for controlling a medium (40). The drive device (10) has a housing (11) for accommodating a coil (17d), which is fixed with respect to the housing (11), and a drive rod (14), on which a pole shoe (15d) and a permanently-magnetic element (16c) that is magnetized, or a soft-magnetic element (16c) that can be magnetized, in the axial direction of the drive rod (14) are attached such that the drive rod (14) can be moved with a translational motion relative to the coil (17d) by magnetic force. The drive rod (14) can be coupled to a shut-off body (33) of the valve (1) that can be moved with a translational motion such that a translational motion of the drive rod (14) affects a translational motion of the shut-off body (33) for opening and closing the valve (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method for controlling a coupling system having a coupling provided with a hydraulic actuation system, which includes an adjustable coupling part for connecting and separating a power transmission path between a coupling input side and a coupling output side, a hydraulic connection that connects the actuation unit to an electrohydraulic actuator that is arranged outside the coupling, and a control unit for controlling the actuator. The hydraulic connection forms a hydraulic system together with hydraulic components of the actuation unit and the actuator. According to the invention, a mechanical stop that delimits the adjustment of the coupling part on the actuation unit is formed. A pressure sensor monitors the pressure in the hydraulic system or a control signal of the actuator.

Abstract: A box for connecting an output conductor of a solar panel with a feed cable has a base mountable on the solar panel and having a generally planar floor from whose outer periphery a side wall projects perpendicularly. A cover engageable with the side wall forms with the floor and side wall a substantially closed compartment. At least one holder in the compartment on the floor grips and positions an end of the feed cable such that it extends in a predetermined first direction. The side wall is formed with a cutout through which the feed cable passes. The cutout and holder are relatively spaced and oriented such that the cable extends in a predetermined second direction that forms an acute angle with the first direction between the holder and the cutout.
