  • Publication number: 20240042359
    Abstract: A liquid separator (10) for separating liquid from a gas-liquid mixture has a housing (12), an inlet (14), an outlet (16), a flow path (18) connecting the inlet (14) to the outlet (16), and a separation device (20), arranged in the flow path (18), for liquid separation, wherein a diverting element (22) is arranged adjacent to the separation device (20). Said diverting element separates an inlet region (24) of the housing (12), into which the inlet (14) opens, and an outlet region (26) of the housing (12), from which the outlet (16) opens, from one another, wherein the flow path (18) extends from the inlet region (24) via a low-flow region (46) into the outlet region (26).

  • Publication number: 20220048118
    Abstract: An axis arrangement for a machine tool is disclosed. In an axis housing a support spindle is rotationally supported about a longitudinal axis by a spindle bearing arrangement. The support spindle accommodates a clamping unit that can be switched between a clamping position and a release position by a cylinder device. The cylinder device has a piston that is moveable in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis at which a piston rod is rotatably supported. In the cylinder housing the support spindle is supported in an axial direction at the cylinder housing via a first axial bearing. The piston rod is supported in the axial direction at the piston via a second axial bearing. Preferably the support spindle is exclusively supported in the axial direction in the cylinder housing.

  • Patent number: 9610666
    Abstract: A lifting apparatus includes a lifting part that can be moved in linear direction between a rest position and a working position. At least one drive device is disposed for moving the lifting part. Each drive device includes a toggle lever mechanism, having a first toggle supported pivotally on the lifting part and a second toggle supported on a base part. A positioning device prespecifies the position of the lifting part in lifting direction and in a direction transverse to lifting direction in working position. To do so, said toggle preferably has a stop surface against which the lifting part is pushed into working position by the at least one drive device. In this working position, the toggle joint angle ? of the toggle lever mechanism is smaller than 180° so that the two toggles and are outside the extended position.
