Abstract
A coupling fixture for reciprocal connection between two components rotating in opposite directions to one another, with a drive element and an axially adjustable coupling element in a rotationally fixed connection with the drive element or one of the two components. The two components are locked together directly, or by the coupling element, and the locking is released by moving the coupling element axially. Thereby rendering it possible to establish connection without the need for special controls and/or synchronisation of the components to be connected. Switching operations can be performed when the drive element and the coupling element are being driven with different speeds of rotation. It is thus possible to achieve a reliable and trouble-free operating method of the coupling fixture over a long period of time.
Claims19
A fixture for reciprocal connection between two components rotating in opposite directions to one another and disposed on a drive element by an axially adjustable coupling element for connecting the drive element of an electrical clamping device therewith, by means of which rotational adjustment movements of the drive element are adapted to be converted into axial adjustment movements,
- wherein
- the coupling element is rotationally fixed to the drive element, or one of the two components, wherein two components are adapted to be locked together directly, or by means of the coupling element, and the locking of the two components is releasable by movement of the coupling element axially.
