  • Patent number: 11085573
    Abstract: A machine foot with a built-in load cell is provided, the load cell being suspended in an overlying sheath, with the feature that the screws which hold the load cell in place in the lower part of the machine foot pass through a bottom plate and are screwed up into a fastening ring that is separate from the sheath material. A method of production of a machine foot is provided, by which a rubber resin is moulded down into the sheath of the machine foot and is vulcanized thereto, the fastening ring being embedded in the rubber resin in an area that abuts the lower side of the sheath.

  • Publication number: 20200355562
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the establishment of a signal which is indicative of the pressure-condition of a machine foot, as a fixed surface of a rubber-elastic body, where a load of the machine foot is transferred from a cap to a substrate through the rubber-elastic body, which is pressurised by the increasing load, such that the distance between a free upper surface part of the rubber-elastic body and an immobile part is determined by an electro-mechanical transducer establishing an electrical signal corresponding to the distance which is used as the measurement for the rubber-elastic body's pressure-condition and thus the machine foot's load.

  • Publication number: 20190178435
    Abstract: A levelling apparatus includes a column which can be mounted in a device such as a machine at an upper end and which is mounted in a foot at a lower end, the levelling apparatus further being provided with a fastening means that by tightening can lock the position of the column in relation to the foot. The lower end of the column is inserted into the foot and fastened thereto by tightening of a bottom nut whose upper end has a shape that is complementary to the contact surface of the foot that the bottom nut will touch by tightening. Furthermore, the levelling apparatus can be used in areas with high risk of earthquakes.

  • Patent number: 9835271
    Abstract: A bracket for pipe profiles includes a body with a center hole for enclosing a pipe profile in the center hole where the body includes at least two non-elastic bracket parts with internal surfaces towards the center hole and external surfaces. The bracket parts' internal surfaces include at least two radial spokes with spoke end surfaces for contact against the pipe profile. A ring shaped elastic gasket may be placed around each spoke end surface, which together with the spoke end surfaces has contact against the pipe profile. The invention also includes use of the bracket for mounting pipe profiles. The bracket has a shape, which ensures hygienic tight connection between bracket and pipe profile and the pipe profile is mechanically supported. The bracket can therefore be used in environments with high hygiene requirements, for example in the foodstuff industry.

  • Patent number: 9746122
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a machine foot, which includes a top part provided with a lock nut, which is mounted in a thread on a spindle, where the lock nut has an abutment complementary shaped to the housing of the lower part, which abutment forms a section of a sphere, and where there is a first gasket between the spindle and lock nut and where there is a second gasket between housing and lock nut. With the invention is achieved that the lower parts and top parts can be produced and stocked as separate and independent units, which for example are not assembled to a finished product until after order.

  • Publication number: 20170114943
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a levelling device that includes a top part for fastening in a machine and a lower part for contact against a base. The lower part includes a housing and a sealing item, which is placed in the lower part. The lower part includes a weighing cell with an activation surface and an opposite placed surface. The weighing cell is placed in the housing and in the sealing item in the lower part. A power transmission device includes a lower end surface and an opposite placed upper surface. The lower end surface is placed in an area between a lower surface of a spindle facing towards the lower part and the activation surface. The end surface forms contact with the activation surface of the weighing cell or the lower surface of the weighing cell. Hereby, registration of the weight can be established.
