  • Publication number: 20230368986
    Abstract: A contact for a vacuum interrupter of a low, medium or high-voltage switchgear includes a contact rod composed of a first electrically conductive material and extending along a longitudinal axis of the contact, and a contact piece composed of a second electrically conductive material and fastened to an end face of the contact rod. The contact rod and the contact piece are materially bonded to one another at a connecting face. At least one of the contact rod or the contact piece has a wall which delimits the connecting face, rises perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and is disposed such that the contact piece and the contact rod are also force-lockingly connected to one another by a force acting transversely to the longitudinal axis between the contact piece and the contact rod. A production method for such a contact is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11676784
    Abstract: A vacuum interrupter includes at least one insulating body, a fixed contact, a fixed contact flange, a moving contact having a longitudinal axis of the moving contact, a moving contact flange, a moving contact bearing, and a bellows. The fixed contact is stationarily disposed in the fixed contact flange, the moving contact is moveably guided in the moving contact bearing and the moving contact is moveably secured to the moving contact flange by the bellows. The bellows is secured to the moving contact flange by a first bellows end and the bellows is secured to the moving contact by a second bellows end. An increased pressure resistance of the vacuum interrupter against ambient pressures over 1 bar is achieved by a sleeve which is secured to the moving contact against movements along the longitudinal axis of the moving contact, and which is guided through the moving contact bearing.

  • Patent number: 10418211
    Abstract: A switching contact, of a vacuum interrupter including support bodies, includes an additional support body which has the shape of a truncated cone or of a hollow truncated cone or of a partially hollow truncated cone. The additional support body is offset from a first location or region on the bottom of the contact carrier, located in the notional extension of the contact rod and inside the contact carrier, to a second location or region, located on the side of the contact plate facing the contact carrier and on the outer edge of the contact plate in relation to the first region.

  • Patent number: 5268544
    Abstract: To improve the mechanical properties of a contact unit of a vacuum relay, a spring element is integrated into the contact unit. The contact unit comprises an armature, a mounting support for an insulating carrier, the insulating carrier and a switching contact. The mounting support comprises a flat bar spring such that the contact unit has an integrated spring element.

  • Patent number: 4439799
    Abstract: A reproducing apparatus for information signals recorded in inclined tracks together with tracking signals whose frequency changes from track to track in a cyclic sequence, comprises a variable-frequency signal generator for the generation of track selection signals, from which together with the crosstalk tracking signals reproduced during a playback mode by at least one rotatable playback head arranged on an electromechanical transducer a transducer actuating signal is derived for tracking purposes, by means of which actuating signal the transducer with the playback head is adjustable between two extreme positions transversely of the tracks.

  • Patent number: 4032826
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for phase-alignment of a servo drive for a rotary system, to whose correction element for correcting the speed of said system the output signal of a phase detector is applied via a transmission path which output signal determines the mutual phase relationship of an actual signal and of the desired signal, comprises two gate circuits of which one circuit receives the pulse-shaped actual signal and the other circuit receives the pulse-shaped desired signal as an input signal, and whose output signals are applied to the transmission path in phase opposition for phase-alignment of the rotary system, each of the gate circuits being controlled by a bistable multivibrator which can also be changed over by said actual and desired signals, so that a gate circuit is opened only when its input signal contains more than one pulse between two consecutive pulses in the input signal of the other gate circuit.

  • Patent number: 3978521
    Abstract: The invention relates to a recording and playback apparatus for video signals including a drive shaft for driving a record carrier, whose revolution speed can be controlled by a servo system, and a switching device to ensure that a new recording without interruption follows an existing recording, said apparatus comprising a measuring and storage device for measuring and storing the difference in phase between the pulses supplied by the tacho-generator and the pulses scanned from the synchronizaton track which device is followed by a comparator, for comparing the stored measuring value with the reference signal for the servo system, which comparator if its input signals are equal supplies its output signal to the servo system as the measuring signal. Such a servo system prevents the occurrence of undesired phase shifts at the transition from the existing recording to the new recording.
