Force Generator for Generating a Linear Compressive Force

Abstract

The invention relates to a force generator for generating a linear pressure force, including a housing, an output wedge displaceably arranged in the housing, and a drive wedge for transmitting an externally exerted pressing force into a linear movement of the output wedge. The output wedge is connected to a first pressure element. The housing is connected to a second pressure element. A force applied to the drive wedge causes displacement of the first pressure element relative to the second pressure element. The force generator solves the technical problem of providing a high pressure force and using the known press jaws for this purpose.
