Abstract:
An adjustment device for adjusting the position of at least one strand supporting element (5) relative to a supporting stand (9, 10) carrying at least one further strand supporting element (6), of a strand guide in a continuous casting plant comprises at least one hydraulic adjustment cylinder (12) contacting a strand supporting element (5) directly or indirectly on the one side and the supporting stand (9, 10) carrying a further strand supporting element (6) on the other side, the movement of the strand supporting element (5) being detectable via a position sensor (17) and controllable by means of an automatic controller (26). In order to safely attain the high precision in positioning the strand supporting elements (5, 6) sought for a strand guide at yet a minimum expenditure and a minimum susceptibility to failure, at least one directional control valve (21A, 21B) capable of being switched via a three-level controller (26) is provided for actuating the hydraulic adjustment cylinder (12) FIG. 2.
Abstract:
A drive device for a bending press, in particular a press brake, with a press frame includes a stationary press beam and has a press beam which can be displaced relative to the press beam by a beam adjusting device formed by a closed hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump with a controllable drive motor, at least one control valve and at least one hydraulic linear actuator. The linear actuator includes a first piston arrangement with a first piston dividing a cylinder chamber into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber and, in another cylinder chamber, a second piston arrangement with another piston and at least one other pressure chamber. The first piston arrangement and the second piston arrangement are coupled with one another.
Abstract:
An on-off valve is disclosed, especially a fast-acting on-off valve, wherein a plunger is pretensioned in a base position. The plunger has a plurality of parallel control edges via which a plurality of sectional opening cross-sections, arranged in parallel in a hydraulic manner, can be jointly actuated to open or close when the valve is switched.
Abstract:
Valve drive with a first actuator (1) for opening and/or closing a gas-exchange valve (2), in particular of an internal combustion engine, and a separate second actuator (3) for the valve-play compensation of the gas-exchange valve (2), the second actuator (3) being developed as a double-action, preferably hydraulic, piston cylinder arrangement with at least two working surfaces (A1, A2) that can be subjected to pressure.
Abstract:
In a strand guide for a continuous casting plant comprising a plurality of strand supporting elements for supporting the strand, in particular support segments carrying supporting rollers, several support segments being fastened adjacent each other on a supporting framework designed in one piece in its longitudinal extension, each support segment is fastened to the supporting framework by a fixed bearing and a movable bearing spaced apart therefrom in the longitudinal extension of the strand guide, each support segment, by at least one bearing, is pivotally mounted to the supporting framework so as to be pivotable about an axis, the axis being oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal extension of the strand guide and horizontally, as well as in a vertical plain passing through the longitudinal extension of the supporting framework and by at least one bearing is mounted so as to be adjustable with respect to the supporting framework in a direction toward the pivoting movement of the support segment. For simple adjustment of the correct position of the support segments, a measuring device for detecting the pivoting movement of the support segment, preferably a position sensor or an angle measuring device, is provided which, via a controller, is coupled with an adjusting device for adjusting the position of the support segment.
Abstract:
A valve comprises an electromagnetic actuator including a solenoid. The solenoid includes at least one core and an anchor plate. The solenoid further comprises at least one coil disposed within the core and connected to a set of power electronics to supply current to the coils. The actuator further comprises a plunger connected to the anchor plate and at least one spring configured to guide the plunger. The actuator also includes a pressure compensation system. The opening and closing of the valve is controlled by passing current through the coil.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive device (1) for a bending press, in particular a folding press (2), comprising a press frame (3), a press table (9) and a press beam (11) that can be adjusted relative to the press table (9) via a hydraulic system (18) comprising a hydraulic pump (47), controlled drive motor (45), switch and control means and pressure lines and at least one pressure cylinder (12) which can be supplied with at least one pressure medium. The hydraulic system (18) forms a closed system together with a ring line (44) comprising the hydraulic pump (47), control valves (39, 41, 58, 84, 86, 87, 88, 89) and a pressure store (57). The ring line comprises a first line section (51) between a pressure chamber (23) of the pressure cylinder (12) and the hydraulic pump (47) and a second line section (53) between an additional pressure chamber (22) of the pressure cylinder (12) and the hydraulic pump (47). The pressure store (57) can optionally be in fluid connection via at least one of the control valves (58, 84, 86) with the first line section (51) or the second line section (53) to take up or release a storage volume of the pressure medium.
