Ueberlastsicherung fuer mechanische Pressen

The slide wedge device has at least one pair if opposingly movable slide wedge components (14), which by means of tension devices (16) are tensioned radially inwards, locating on the base plate (20) and the wedge pressure plate (12). The tension on the slide wedge components can be invalidated with little delay, and is adjustable. The wedge pressure plate may have one or more wedge surfaces with a wedge angle corresponding to that of the slide wedge components. The wedge pressure plate can be axially slidably movably accommodated in a housing (18) with an axial end stop for it. ADVANTAGE - With technically simple means, a secure press power transmission is made possible and the arrangement also offers a rapidly and easily releasable overload protection.
