Abstract
In an overload safety device in a press, having a driving device with a drive shaft, a slide carrying out an oscillating movement and a connecting rod which connects the drive shaft with the slide and has a large and a small eye, the connecting rod is provided with a pressure element disposed displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod. The pressure element acts at least indirectly upon a fluid such that, when a certain force acts upon the connecting rod, a pressure increase occurs in the fluid. The fluid is guided to a pressure limiting valve which, when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, causes an interruption of the slide movement.
Claims2
Overload safety device for use in a press, comprising a driving device with a drive shaft, a slide for carrying out an oscillating movement, and a connecting rod configured to operatively connect the drive shaft with the slide and said connecting rod having a large and a small eye, wherein the connecting rod has a pressure element disposed displaceably in a longitudinal direction of the connecting rod to act upon a fluid such that, when a predetermined force acts upon the connecting rod, a pressure increase occurs in the fluid which is then guided to a pressure limiting valve to cause, when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, an interruption of the oscillating movement of the slide wherein the pressure element comprises two half shells and substantially completely surrounds the drive shaft.
