    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for lifting and lowering blades with-out using a crane, which uses an aligning and inserting device to solve the problem caused by the tilt and coning of the first/last 200-400mm of the blade. The device comprises at least one hoist (4) and a pair of cables (5) coordinated by a pulley (10) and screwed to a bearing (12) by means of connecting elements at the ends thereof. The cables (5) are screwed diametrically opposite and as close as possible to the centre of gravity (CG) of the blade. After the initial descent, the blade is secured and a stiffening plate (20) is added to the blade root (13), and the lowering device, formed by a drumless hoist (18) and a set of pulleys (19), is used to lower the blade by means of a passing cable (22) joined to the plate (20). A crane disposed on the grounds moves an auxiliary sling placed on the tip (23) of the blade and helps to navigate the transition piece (24) and bottom part (25) of the tower.

    Abstract: Prestressing device designed to be inserted into a hole (7) in a component (8) to suppress an ovalization of the hole (7) when the component (8) is loaded, wherein the prestressing device (1) comprises a sleeve (6) and a tensioning mechanism (9), wherein the prestressing device (1) is designed to be inserted into the hole (7) along an insertion axis (10), wherein the tensioning mechanism (9) is designed to deform the sleeve (6) in such a way, that the diameter (11) of the outer surface (12) of the sleeve (6) in the radial direction with respect to the insertion axis (10) can be increased from a first diameter to a second diameter in at least one axial section of the sleeve (6) by actuating the tensioning mechanism (9), allowing the outer surface (12) of the sleeve (6) to exert a force (13) in the radial direction onto the surface (14) of the component (8) delimiting the hole (7) and therefore prestressing the component (8), when the axial section of the sleeve (6) is arranged in the hole (7) and the diameter (37) of the hole (7) prior to the actuation of the tensioning mechanism (9) is lower than the second diameter.
