Patent number: 7806618Abstract: In a frictional rotary connector having a tapered ring arrangement (3) to be placed onto a shaft and having at least one tapered ring section (e.g. 4a) with an inner surface for abutting the shaft, and with an oblique outer surface (e.g. 5a), at least one tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) with an oblique inner surface, which element slides between a starting position and a clamping position on the oblique outer surface (e.g. 5a) of the tapered ring section (e.g. 4a), and a tensioning ring for moving the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in order to lock the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in the clamping position at least one retaining element (8) is provided which is arranged to be guided in a radial direction from a free position to a clamping position, wherein the retaining element (8) axially locks the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in the clamping position.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2005Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: TAS Schafer GmbHInventors: Udo Schäfer, Harry Oppenländer

Patent number: 7266297Abstract: A bit-rate-transparent electrical space-division switching matrix is employed in an optical cross-connect and the input/output stage is constructed from simple, broadband optical receivers and transmitters. Since the switching matrix operates in unclocked manner, i.e. its switching function is not based on internal bit timing and frame timing, arbitrary signals can be switched though transparently at almost any bit rate, independently of the protocol-type being used. The inputs and outputs likewise operate fully independently of bit rate and protocol, since they only implement an O/E conversion or O/E conversion. By virtue of this structure, a simply constructed but extremely powerful optical cross-connect is created that can be employed equally for all types of optical signals within the stipulated wavelength-range.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Udo Schafer, Thoams Diehl, Hermann Zoll

Patent number: 5947626Abstract: A frictional revolving joint for joining a hub to a shaft has a tapered ring arrangement with two tapered ring sections with conical outer surfaces that have a V-shaped cross-section and a clamping ring made of two clamping ring elements that enclose the tapered ring arrangement.The ring shaped pressure chamber formed by the front surfaces of both clamping ring elements may be put under pressure by a hydraulic fluid, causing the clamping ring elements to slide outwards on the V-shaped tapered ring sections.The ring-shaped pressure chamber (57) is sealed itself by sealing rings (55a, 55b,; 63) that engage the clamping ring elements (53a, 53b) in all positions of the latter. The ring-shaped pressure chamber (57) is thus hermetically sealed and hydraulic fluid cannot escape outwards.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Schafer GmbH Technik fur Antrieb und SteuerungInventors: Wolfgang Miller, Udo Schafer, Harry Oppenlander
