Abstract: The invention relates to a steering gear (11) for a vehicle having a helical gear (19), the helical gear (19) having a first gear wheel (21) and a second gear wheel (22) which engages with the first gear wheel (21), a first rotation axis (23) of the first gear wheel (21) being aligned so as to be transverse to a second rotation axis (24) of the second gear wheel (22), and an axis perpendicular (25) being aligned so as to be orthogonal to the first rotation axis (23) and to the second rotation axis (24), a smallest spacing between axes (26) between the first rotation axis (23) and the second rotation axis (24) coinciding with the axis perpendicular (25), and an engagement line (33) resulting by means of common contact points (34) of the two mutually engaged gear wheels (21, 22). In order to increase the diversity in terms of variants and/or to improve the adaptation possibilities, the steering gear (11) is characterized in that the engagement line (33) is spaced apart from the axis perpendicular (25).

Abstract: In order to achieve an increase in energy efficiency and a faster quenching of the workpieces, a device according to the invention is proposed for the treatment of metallic workpieces with cooling gas, comprising a horizontally arranged cylindrical housing (1) with at least one closable opening for the introduction and extraction of the workpieces to be treated, with a quenching chamber (2) located inside the housing (1) for receiving the workpieces to be treated, with two high-performance fans (5 and 6) arranged laterally and outside the quenching chamber (2) for guiding a cooling gas through the quenching chamber (2) and with two heat exchangers (11 and 12) for cooling the cooling gas, that heat exchanger (11 or 12) is respectively associated with a high-performance fan (5 or 6) and that closable guide devices (17 or 18) are arranged above and below the quenching chamber (2).

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a method that is as accurate and reliable as possible for metrologically determining the end of a test interval (PI) which is to be maintained to perform a periodical test on pressure vessels (1) subject to load variations within operating cycles (AZ). Said aim is achieved by a method in which the maximum working pressure (p) actually reached inside the pressure vessel (1) per working cycle (AZ) is measured by means of a pressure sensor (2), a load variable (BG) is determined per working cycle (AZ) based on the working pressure (p) measured per working cycle (AZ), a resulting load value (BW) is determined for several successive working cycles (AZ) based on the respective load variables (BG) determined per working cycle (AZ), and the resulting load value (BW) is compared to a predefined comparative value (VG)).

Abstract: A toothed belt gearing includes a toothed pulley including pulley teeth having a first configuration and a toothed belt including belt teeth having a second configuration. The belt teeth are meshable with the pulley teeth, the first configuration and the second configuration being different from one another and being selected so as to minimize air present in tooth spaces between meshed ones of the belt and pulley teeth as compared to other toothed belt and pulley combinations which share a substantially same tooth configuration, thereby reducing noise radiation resulting from a resonance behavior of the toothed belt normally present in the other toothed belt and pulley combinations.

Abstract: Device for the transport of metallic work pieces during a heat treatment including a transport device, a carriage movable transverse to a transport direction, a rack for carrying the transport device that is movable relative to the carriage, where the transport device is float-mounted in relation to the carriage.
