Abstract

A torque limiting coupling contains a first shaft, a second shaft and a coupling ring. The coupling ring contains a coupling sleeve with an inner surface and an outer surface. The coupling sleeve is arranged in the radial direction between the first shaft and the second shaft, such that the inner surface is in frictional contact with the first shaft and the outer surface is in frictional contact with the second shaft. The coupling sleeve is double-walled with an internal annular pressure oil chamber, configured in such a way, that the coupling sleeve increases its radial thickness when the oil chamber is filled with pressurized oil and thereby increases the pressure forces and thereby the friction between the surfaces and the shafts in order to allow torque transfer between the two shafts, and that the coupling sleeve transfers no torque, when the oil chamber is not filled with pressurized oil.

Abstract

A fuel system for installation in a hydrogen-powered vehicle and for one or more hydrogen pressure tanks configured for a high pressure level of at least 200 bar, includes connections for input and output lines and at least the following internal components: a pressure reducer, a gas filter, a shut-off valve, a vent valve, an overpressure safety valve and a pressure sensor. The pressure reducer is a two-stage pressure reducer which reduces the pressure of the hydrogen from the high pressure level from the pressure tank to a medium pressure level between 3 bar and 30 bar. The first stage reduces the pressure from the pressure tank to an intermediate level between 40 and 80 bar and the second stage further reduces the pressure to the medium pressure level. The internal components and gas lines interconnecting these internal components are disposed in an integral and self-supporting modular unit.

Abstract

A torque limiting coupling has a shaft, a shear plate fixedly connected to the shaft, and a coaxially disposed coupling ring. The coupling ring has a lateral surface in contact with the shaft and a double-walled section with an internal annular pressure fluid chamber. When the fluid chamber is filled with pressurized fluid, the radial thickness increases and increases the pressure and friction forces for a torque transfer between the coupling ring and the shaft. A shear tube closes the pressurized fluid chamber. A shear plate is configured to cut off a tip of the shear tube in order to open the pressure fluid chamber when the first shaft slips relative to the coupling ring. A central bolt affixes the shear plate to the shaft by pressing a conical bushing of the shear plate onto a conical connector of the shaft.

Abstract

A press cover has at least one polymer layer in which a reinforcing structure is embedded. The reinforcing structure is formed as a scrim with a radially inner layer of longitudinal threads radially outer layer of at least one circumferential thread. The threads are reinforcing threads formed with fibers or fiber bundles twisted in a first direction of rotation and at a first rate of rotation to form a roving. A number of rovings are twisted together in the opposite direction and at a second, higher rate of rotation. In the radial direction of the press cover, the longitudinal threads and the circumferential thread(s) are disposed to touch one another. There is also described a press roll and a shoe press with such a press cover for processing a web of fibrous material.

Abstract

A woven fabric for a fiber web producing machine has a defined machine direction, a cross machine direction, a web facing side, and a machine side. The web facing side is formed by MD yarns that extend substantially in the machine direction and by CD yarns extending substantially in the cross machine direction of the woven fabric. The MD yarns and CD yarns are interwoven with each other and the woven fabric is configured to structure the fiber web produced on the woven fabric. A plurality of adjacent long flotations of MD yarns on the web facing side form together a discrete element that is raised on the web facing side for allowing the woven fabric to structure the fiber web. The term “long flotation” means that the MD yarn passes over at least six adjacent CD yarns on the web facing side of the woven fabric.

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic train coupling with a coupling head which comprises a coupling lock with a latch, wherein the coupling lock is configured as a rotary lock with a coupling eye and a central piece, and the central piece can be rotated about a main axis between a coupled position and a decoupled position. The coupling eye has a first end, which is connected to the central piece in a rotatable manner about a coupling eye axis, and a second free end, and the central piece has jaws which are designed to receive the second end of a coupling eye of a mating coupling head. The automatic train coupling comprises a decoupling device which comprises a motor that is connected to the central piece via a drive connection in order to rotate the central piece out of the coupled position and into the decoupled position. The latch of the coupling lock is designed to be released by moving the mating coupling head against the coupling head in order to rotate the central piece about the main axis out of the decoupled position or a coupling-ready position, which is offset relative to the decoupled position in the direction of the coupled position, and into the coupled position. The automatic train coupling according to the invention is characterized by a locking mechanism which can be actuated in a selective manner, said locking mechanism being activatable in the decoupled or coupled position of the central piece in order to block a rotation of the central piece out of the decoupled position or the coupling-ready position and into the coupled position when the latch of the coupling lock is released.

Abstract

The invention relates to a machine (1) and a method for producing or treating a fibrous web (F), in particular a paper, board or tissue web (F), comprising at least one machine section (2, 3, 4), preferably a dryer section (2, 4) or forming section (3), at least one thermal-energy load, preferably a steam and condensate system (5) and/or a secondary system load (70, 71, 82), and at least one thermal-energy recovery system (6), wherein a heat pump (90) extracts residual thermal energy from an exhaust-air flow of at least one exhaust-air line (84, 84') from at least one machine section (2, 3, 4) and, being additionally fed electrical energy (80), feeds thermal energy to the at least one thermal-energy load (5, 70, 71, 82), preferably to a condensate of the at least one condensate return line (58). According to the invention, the heat pump (90) is disposed in the exhaust-air line (84) such that the heat pump (90) recovers the residual thermal energy before a dew point temperature of the exhaust-air flow in the exhaust-air line (84, 84') is reached, and the steam and condensate system (5) comprises a steam accumulator (54) for storing the steam, said steam accumulator being downstream of the heat pump (90).
