Abstract: A casting shell for producing a filter element with a filter body and a seal or end disk has a receiving shell with a groove and a support surface. The groove receives casting material. The support surface supports the filter body during casting. A cover is provided with at least two cover parts arranged so as to be movable separately from each other relative to the receiving shell. The cover parts open the groove in a first position and in a second position, with the filter body inserted as intended in the casting shell, cover the groove. A bottom side of the cover parts faces in the second position a cavity formed by the groove. The bottom side molds a seal or function surface of the seal or end disk. A casting device is provided with such a casting shell. A method using such a casting shell is provided.

Abstract: In an electromagnet (10) having a magnet coil (13), which has an exciter winding (23) wound from an insulated winding wire (24), having a magnet core (14), having a movable armature (16) opposite the magnet core (14), and having a restoring spring (21) engaging the armature (16), a plurality of meltable stanchions (26) of electrically conductive material that are connected electrically conductively to one another are disposed on the magnet coil (13), for the sake of later calibration of the magnetic force furnished by the completed electromagnet (10). The winding wire (24) is guided around each of the stanchions (26), in selected windings of the exciter winding. To adjust the desired magnetic force, at least two stanchions (26) are melted, so that they form a reliable weld with the winding wire (24), through the wire insulation thereof (FIG. 4).
