A frangible mounting arrangement between a bearing and a bearing support in a gas turbine engine comprises a plurality of frangible bolts connecting mounting flanges of the bearing and the bearing support. The bolts are disposed on a circle. A distance on the circle between a first pair of adjacent bolts is greater than a distance on the circle between a second pair of adjacent bolts. The bolts are configured to break when subjected to a breaking load above a predetermined value. The breaking load results from at least one of a bending moment and a shear load on the mounting flanges. When subjected to the breaking load, the first pair of adjacent bolts breaks before the second pair of adjacent bolts. A method of providing a frangible mounting arrangement between a bearing and a bearing support is also provided.

An angle grinder includes a housing, a drive unit configured to drive a usage tool, a sensor device configured to provide a rotation parameter, and a control unit configured to evaluate the rotation parameter to detect a clamped state of the usage tool. The sensor device has a yaw rate sensor configured to provide the rotation parameter in accordance with a rotational movement of the housing. The control unit triggers a safety mode in accordance with the rotation parameter or throttles the rotational speed and/or torque of the drive unit.

A connecting device for connecting runs of communication material having a predetermined length and coupling elements at both ends is provided. The connecting device includes a first end, an opposing second end, and a separating element. The first end couples to a coupling element of a first run of communication material and the second end couples to a coupling element of a second run of communication material. The first run and second run of communication material is separated in response to activation of the separating element. Also provided is a bulk cable packaging system that includes a plurality of runs of communication material, each run having a predetermined length and coupling elements at both ends and a plurality of connecting devices. The runs of communication material are coupled together with the connecting devices is operatively coupled to a reel. The reel is then operatively coupled within a container.

A connector system having first and second connector segments held together by a rod threadably received in an internal axial bore through each of the first and second connector segments. Each connector segment has a breakaway portion formed from an angled face on one connector segment that cooperates with the mating angled face on the abutting connector segment to form a V-shaped breakpoint between the two connector segments. An intermediate segment can be positioned there between to provide two breakpoints, and multiple intermediate segments can be used for additional breakpoints. Upon impact, the system breaks at the breakpoint and only the rod needs to be in most cases. A longitudinal bore through the rod permits adaption of the rod to selected loads.
