Abstract
A radial press is provided having a main structure, a plurality of pressing jaws arranged around a pressing axis, and having a drive unit which acts on the pressing jaws. The drive unit is supported on the main structure and can move the pressing jaws radially in the direction of the pressing axis and away from the same, at least one fibrous structure is provided radially outside the pressing jaws, the fibrous structure enclosing the pressing jaws and extending in annularly closed form around the pressing axis in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the pressing axis.
Claims3
A radial press comprising:
- a basic structure (1),
- a multiplicity of press jaws (24) disposed around a press axis (X) and
- a drive unit, which acts on the multiplicity of press jaws, is braced on the basic structure (1) and by means of which the press jaws (24) can be moved radially toward and away from the press axis (X),
- wherein radially outside the press jaws (24), at least one first fiber structure (20) that surrounds them by extending in annularly closed form around the press axis is provided in a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to the press axis (X), wherein the at least one first fiber structure (20) is part of the drive unit,
- wherein the radial press is constructed as a compression-ring or hollow piston press with a housing (85), which forms the basic structure (1) and in which a compression ring (86) or hollow piston containing the at least one first fiber structure (20) can be displaced parallel to the press axis (X), and
- wherein the radial press further comprises a second fiber structure provided at an outer circumference of the housing, the second fiber structure radially outside of the first fiber structure.
