  • Patent number: 11415239
    Abstract: A valve linear drive provided for connection to a valve body having a valve seat includes a drive housing, a valve closure member, an actuator, and a spring device. The valve closure member is adjustable along an adjustment axis (V) between an open position and a closed position by means of the actuator and an actuating means. The spring device urges the actuating means into the open position or into the closed position. Further, the spring device includes a plurality of springs and a receiving unit for the springs. Here, each spring has its own spring chamber formed in the receiving unit, in which the associated spring is inserted. Furthermore, a valve having such a valve linear drive is provided.

  • Patent number: 10249987
    Abstract: An electronic module for an I/O modular system comprises a housing, a plug-in connection for the coupling to a connection of the I/O modular system, and at least one locking lever which has an actuating end arranged on the side turned away from the plug-in connection, and a locking portion. The locking lever has at least one light-conducting portion. A light source is associated with the locking lever. A light exit face is provided in the region of the actuating end of the locking lever.

  • Patent number: 10094688
    Abstract: A calibration system has a calibration device which includes at least one calibration fluid receptacle, an electric and a fluidic interface for releasably connecting at least one sensor module to be calibrated, which is a unit constructionally separate from the calibration device and contains one or more sensors, and a controller which controls the flow of calibration fluid through the sensor module connected to the calibration device and which is electrically coupled with the connected sensor module via the electric interface and can collect measurement data from the sensor module. In the calibration system, in particular in the sensor module, calibration data are stored, so that the calibration device can calibrate various sensor modules which are coupled to the interface.
