  • Patent number: 12311512
    Abstract: A screwing device for applying and/or transmitting a torque to a screw partner and for interacting with a drive torque generating means, including flat output means (6) which have an output that, can be detachably connected to the screw partner and a drive, to which a drive torque can be manually or mechanically applied, an output gearwheel (8) that can be driven by the fiat output means (6), a mechanical interface (46) for selective direct or indirect connection to the drive torque generating means for initiating the torque, a compensation unit (30) which is designed to store and process compensation data and which comprises an output gearwheel-specific torque curve and/or an output gearwheel-specific efficiency curve for calculating it with a value of an actual output torque in order to generate a value of a compensated output torque, and a data interface (36) which is designed to transmit compensation data to a drive torque generating means.

  • Patent number: 11400567
    Abstract: The invention relates to a screw device for applying torque to a screw partner (12), comprising flat output assembly (10) provided with an output member that can be detachably connected to the screw partner and a drive to which a drive torque can be manually or mechanically applied, particularly by an interconnected angular and/or bevel gear (16), and an assembly (48) for detecting an output torque acting on the screw partner on the output side, the detection assembly associated with the flat output assembly and particularly provided on and/or in a housing (30 32) of the flat output assembly being designed such that it can detect an axial force acting on a helical gear (38) connecting the drive and the output member of the flat output assembly in a torque-transmitting manner and provide same for preferably electronic signal evaluation.

  • Patent number: 10702930
    Abstract: The invention relates to a boring machine comprising a spindle (15) which is designed for rotationally driving a boring tool that is placed or can be placed on the spindle and which is paired together with rotational drive means that interact with a first drive motor (24) for rotational driving purposes and with adjustment drive means that interact with a second drive motor (26) for axially adjusting the spindle such that when the spindle is being rotated by the first drive motor, the spindle can be axially adjusted under the effect of the second drive motor. The rotational drive means have a rotational drive gear (38) which is connected to the spindle, and the adjustment drive means have an adjustment nut (58) which interacts with a threaded section (60) of the spindle (15) in the manner of a slide. Transmission means are integrated in the form of a transmission module for interacting with the rotational drive gear and the adjustment nut and are designed to connect to the first and the second drive motor.
