Abstract: An elevator system has a counterweight moveable in an elevator shaft for a weight equalization of an elevator car which can move in an opposite direction to the counterweight. A protective screen is arranged in a shaft pit of the elevator shaft and has a vertical portion oriented substantially parallel to a movement path of the counterweight. The protective screen prevents a person located in the shaft pit from entering the movement path of the counterweight. The protective screen has a horizontally arranged angulation, wherein an angled portion of the protective screen that adjoins the angulation extends into the projection of the counterweight in the movement direction.

Abstract: A damper unit for an elevator for reducing vertical vibrations of an elevator car of the elevator during a standstill includes a stamp-like acting element that acts on an end-face guide surface of a guide rail. The acting element is spaced from the guide rail in an idle position and can be connected slip-free to the guide rail by an eccentric drive in an active position. Force transmitting elements containing a shock damper for damping the motions of the elevator car during a standstill of the car adjoin the acting element.

Abstract: A sliding guide shoe for an elevator includes a two-part insert that can be inserted into a guide shoe housing for guiding an elevator car along a guide rail. The insert has a carrier element with a recess which is designed as a receiving pocket for receiving a sliding element so that the sliding element can be introduced into the carrier element in a longitudinal direction and then latched in the carrier element.

Abstract: A receiving clamp for a power tool has a clamp body with first and second end faces and a receptacle extending from the first to the second end face. The receptacle is provided to receive a guide rod of the power tool. The receptacle has a longitudinal center axis and a slot extending from the first to the second end face. The slot is open across its entire length relative to the environment. The clamp body has bending elasticity in a direction transverse to the slot so that the slot can be widened. A suspending location is arranged on the clamp body and connectable to a carrying system for the power tool. The suspending location is arranged such that, when the receiving clamp is suspended by the suspending location and the longitudinal center axis is positioned in a horizontal plane, the slot is lower than the suspending location.

Abstract: An adjustable roller-guide shoe for guiding an elevator car or a counterweight of an elevator installation contains a roller carrier, which can be fastened on the car or the counterweight, a guide roller and a roller spindle, which is arranged in the roller carrier and accommodates the guide roller. The roller spindle is positioned in the roller carrier by an adapter having an installation contour which matches a corresponding accommodating contour of the roller carrier. The adapter is configured to be fixed in different installation positions in relation to the roller carrier, and thus the roller spindle can be placed in different positions in the roller carrier, depending on the installation position of the adapter. It is thus possible for the roller-guide shoe to be operated with different roller diameters or to be adapted to different rail-web dimensions.

Abstract: A sliding guide shoe for an elevator for conveying persons or goods includes a guide shoe housing and a two-part insert, which insert is inserted in the guide shoe housing for guiding an elevator car along a guide rail extending in a longitudinal direction. The insert includes a slide element connected with a support element and removable laterally from the sliding guide shoe in the longitudinal direction. The slide element is insertable into or removable from the support element only from one longitudinal side.

Abstract: In an air-cooled electrical machine having reverse cooling in a closed cooling circuit, a two-stage blade cascade for the optimum incident flow of cooling air to the rotor (4) and the rotor winding (29) is provided between a rotor cap plate (22) and a rotor shaft (28). The first blade cascade stage (30b) in the direction of flow is a deceleration cascade having pressure-generating properties, and the following blade cascade stage (30a) in the direction of flow is a deceleration cascade having deflecting properties.

Abstract: In a turbo-generator (10) having a rotor (11) and a stator (12) concentrically surrounding the rotor (11) and separated from the rotor (11) by an air gap (14), and also having a cooling arrangement in which a main fan (33) draws in a gaseous cooling medium flowing through corresponding cooling passages in the rotor (11) and in the stator (12) and forces it through a cooler (22, 23, 24) back into the cooling passages, the cooling medium flowing through the rotor (11) in the axial direction, issuing in a heated state into the air gap (14) and being returned from the air gap (14) to the main fan (33), improved rotor cooling is achieved in that the cooling medium heated by the rotor (11) is directed radially outward from the air gap (14) through outflow passages (15) in the stator (12) and is returned to the main fan (33) outside the stator (12) via a cooling-air return (21).
