Abstract: A torque support, especially for wheel blocks, is arranged between a gear unit housing with a drive shaft and a driven unit housing. The torque support includes a plate-shaped base body which is detachably fastened to the gear unit housing with fastening elements. The plate-shaped base plate has at least two fastening locations comprising through openings for fastening the torque support to the driven unit housing. To keep the shearing forces resulting from the torque support and acting on the gear shaft small while the torsional moment is simultaneously absorbed with low play and in such a way that load peaks are damped, a corresponding plastic ring body is inserted into each through-opening in a positive-locking engagement. A side of the plastic ring body facing the driven unit housing has an edge area which widens radially outward forms an elastic disk element arranged between the driven unit housing and the torque support.

Abstract: A securing ring, includes a body defining a ring opening and having a circumference of substantially circular configuration at formation of a slotted gap to define confronting ring ends. The body defines a ring plane and an axis of symmetry and has a radial width which continuously increases, at least in sections, from the ring ends onwards at both sides of the axis of symmetry. Each of the ring ends has a L-shaped configuration and is extended by a lug jutting out from the ring plane and formed with a throughbore. Both lugs of the ring ends are positioned on a same side of the ring plane, with the throughbores of the lugs extending in parallel relationship to one another and to the ring plane.

Abstract: A robot gantry has longitudinal beams supported by support elements. To fasten the longitudinal beams to the supports, the latter have brackets with binding post holes for binding screws. To make possible the adjustment of the brackets housing the beams, the walls of the supports have holes, which are large enough that the binding screws can move in them by the amount required for adjustment. To adjust the brackets, L-shaped adjusting devices are fastened to the supports by screws. The L-leg of the adjustment apparatus has in the power portion horizontal and vertical holes with nuts for set screws. In the upper portion of the L-leg the adjustment device has a vertical slot for a pendulum set screw which can move in the slot. The pendulum set screw is protected by a nut from unintentional falling out, and extends with its threaded portion into a threaded hole in the bracket.
