  • Publication number: 20230018816
    Abstract: In a reprofiling method of a rail (2) of a laid rail track (1) during a travel movement of a machining vehicle (13) along a rail track (1) in a section of its running surface (10) located on the rail head (5), a machining unit (14) includes a first and a second machining aggregate (16, 20). In a first machining step, material is removed in a milling process. In this process, a surface corrugation with corrugation crests (18) and corrugation troughs (19) is formed. In the second machining step, the surface corrugation is reduced by plastic deformation of the corrugation crests (18) by at least one forming force (21) directed towards the running surface (10) to be machined and applied in a pulsating manner.

  • Patent number: 11060568
    Abstract: A return stop includes a rotational inner ring, a stationary, fixed outer ring, and a cage mounted radially between the inner ring and outer ring. The cage has at least two pairs of rollers each having a first and a second roller. A clamping rail is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the inner ring for each roller. A radial recess is formed on the inner ring in the peripheral direction directly adjacent to the respective clamping rail. Also, both of the clamping rails of the roller pairs are formed in the peripheral direction in opposite directions away from each other. In a free-running operation of the return stop, only one roller of each pair of rollers comes into position on the inner ring and the outer ring. The other roller of each pair of rollers does not come into position at least one the inner ring.

  • Patent number: 9568393
    Abstract: A device is provided for the early detection of crack formations in work pieces or in components that are subjected to mechanical loading. Wherein in the region of at least one surface at risk of cracking there is arranged at least one testing chamber that is formed by a generative process of manufacturing the work piece or a portion of a work piece and to which a testing medium under pressure is admitted. Either a pressure sensor for determining a drop in pressure resulting from a crack formation of the work piece is connected to the testing chamber or a gas sensor that can also react to a testing medium escaping from the testing chamber in the event of crack formation is arranged in the vicinity of the testing chamber.
