  • Publication number: 20240313495
    Abstract: A crimping unit for radially crimping a crimp barrel along a circumference of the crimp barrel onto a cable includes a plurality of radially displaceable crimping jaws arranged in a circumferential direction, which press the crimp barrel onto the cable in a crimping position. The crimping unit further includes a retaining ring, in which the crimping jaws are accommodated in a radially displaceable manner, and an actuating ring axially displaceable relative to the retaining ring. An axial displacement of the actuating ring in a first direction enables radial displacement of the crimping jaws in the retaining ring into the crimping position. An axial displacement of the actuating ring in a second direction enables an active section of the actuating ring to interact with an active surface of a crimping jaw such that it is movable from the crimping position into a radially spaced position.

  • Publication number: 20240014618
    Abstract: A crimping device for securing a crimp barrel on a conductor of a cable includes a crimper, an anvil that interacts with the crimper, a cutter, a cutter actuator and a holding sheet. The cutter has a receiving surface configured to receive a cable dielectric enclosing the conductor. The cutter actuator is configured to press the cutter down at a reversal point and to be actuated jointly with the crimper. The holding sheet has a molded portion on a side facing toward the receiving surface of the cutter. The molded portion of the holding sheet and the receiving surface of the cutter substantially fully encompass the cable dielectric when the cutter actuator is at the reversal point.

  • Patent number: 11217954
    Abstract: A method provides for producing a cable connection assembly including an electrical cable connected to a cable connector. The cable connector is positioned on a conductor end portion, so that a portion of the insulating layer is at least partially surrounded by the cable connector. The conductor end portion is disposed within a fastening tube, so that a first tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable connector, and a second tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable jacket. The fastening tube is pressed between strip-shaped pressing surfaces which are disposed around a central axis at a constant distance therefrom. During the pressing step, the first tube portion is pressed to a first inner diameter and the second tube portion is pressed to a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter.

  • Publication number: 20120273077
    Abstract: A flow resistor having a flow conduit with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and a membrane forming a wall of the flow conduit, and a cross section of the flow of the flow conduit can be varied by exerting pressure on the membrane. The flow resistor has a cavity containing a medium with a positive temperature coefficient and a flow chamber; the membrane separates the cavity from the flow chamber and is both the wall of the cavity as well as the wall of the flow conduit, wherein the flow conduit is constructed as a helical recess, open to the membrane, in a surface of a lower cover that closes the flow chamber, wherein an inflow opening is arranged in the center of an area fixed by the flow conduit and wherein an outflow opening is arranged on the edge side.

  • Patent number: 6561029
    Abstract: A rotational rate gyroscope for detecting rotation thereof comprises a base member, a primary oscillator supported by its primary oscillator suspension so as to be movable with respect to the base member, and a secondary oscillator supported by a secondary oscillator suspension, separate from primary oscillator suspension, so as to be movable with respect to the primary oscillator. The secondary oscillator suspension is designed such that movement that can be applied to the primary oscillator can be transferred to the secondary oscillator, whereas the movement of the secondary oscillator effected by the Coriolis force substantially is not transferred back to the primary oscillator. In addition thereto, the major surfaces of the primary oscillator and of the secondary oscillator extend substantially in the same plane, with the movement of the primary oscillator and/or of the secondary oscillator also taking place in this plane.
