  • Patent number: 8814549
    Abstract: A powder press has an upper yoke, a lower yoke, and a tension element that is in effect between the upper yoke and the lower yoke, as well as a die accommodation plate that is guided along the tension elements. The plate can be displaced parallel to the tension element, via a punch that supports itself on the upper yoke or the lower yoke, or to which pressure can be applied. The punch accommodates a die plate provided on an adapter and includes at least a cylinder and/or a piston disposed in the cylinder, to which hydraulic pressure can be applied in the cylinder. The powder press has a particularly compact construction if the cylinder and/or the piston surrounds a passage opening through the die accommodation plate or through the upper or lower yoke and/or a tension element.

  • Patent number: 7553145
    Abstract: A powder press for compacting a compressible mass into a rigid and dimensionally accurate body has a base, a first sleeve part in the base and having an inner surface, and a second sleeve part movable in a predetermined direction on the base adjacent the first die part between an inner position and an outer position. The second part has an inner surface forming in the inner position with the first-part inner surface a cavity open outwardly in the direction. A piston shiftable in the direction in the cavity can compact the mass therein. An actuator can shift the second part in the direction relative to the first part between the inner and outer positions.

  • Publication number: 20070062248
    Abstract: A press for compacting a soft mass into a shaped workpiece. The press has a die adapted to hold the soft mass and having an open side, a compacting tool displaceable along an axis through the side into the die to compact the mass therein, a cylinder centered on the axis adjacent and outside the die, a piston shiftable in the cylinder along the axis and connected to the compacting tool, a relatively movable guide formation outside the die, offset from the axis, and fixed to the piston, a second guide formations fitting with the first formation, outside the die, offset from the axis, and generally stationary relative to the piston. The formations having engaging surfaces extending parallel to the axis, and actuator for displacing the piston axially into the die and thereby compact the mass therein. The guide-formation surfaces sliding axially relative to each other on axial displacement of the piston.

  • Patent number: 5043123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the manufacture of finished parts by the sintering of compacts which are formed as composite moldings of a pulverulent base material and at least one other pulverulent material, particularly different metal powders. The compacts are produced in the manner that at least one of the powder materials is introduced in pourable condition directly alongside of an already pre-compacted part of the compact into the mold which has a shell-shaped matrix and the powder materials are subjected together to final compacting by plug forces acting from on top and on bottom to the size desired for the sintering.
