A clamp assembly device for connecting a rotating control device bearing assembly to a main body of a rotating control device. The device includes clamp members configured to retain the bearing assembly in place on the main body, a clamp actuator for driving clamping and unclamping of the clamp members and a lock pin controlled by a lock pin actuator. The lock pin actuator is configured to lock and unlock the clamp assembly device by moving the pin between locked and unlocked positions along an axis substantially parallel with the axis of rotation of the bearing assembly.

A system for changing work tools on a loading crane includes a first coupling member on the work tool side or the loading crane side with a receiving opening and a second coupling member on the loading crane side or the work tool side with a guide member extending along a longitudinal axis. The guide member engages in the receiving opening by moving the first and second coupling members toward each other. The first coupling member comprises a support surface for axially abutting the second coupling member and the second coupling member comprises a bearing surface complementary to the support surface and a locking element which is movable by a drive between disengaged and engaged positions. The locking element has a clamping surface for frictionally abutting the first coupling member and the first coupling member has an abutment surface complementary to the clamping surface for zero-play axial clamping of the first and second coupling members.

A multi jack tensioner for applying tension to a fastener, the tensioner comprising: a body having at least one section, including a first body section formed to engage an elongate fastening member or integrally formed therewith; a load bearing member for applying force to a workpiece to be fastened and arranged for location about said fastening member adjacent the body; a plurality of pressure chambers between the load bearing member and the body arranged to displace the at least one body section axially relative to the load bearing member in response to hydraulic pressure; and a plurality of jack bolts extending between the body section and the load bearing member for further displacing the first body section from the load bearing member; wherein application of hydraulic pressure to one or more of the plurality of pressure chambers displaces the first body section from the load bearing member thereby tensioning said fastening member and whereby subsequent tensioning of the fastening member is applied by operation of the jack bolts.

A fastening system includes a plurality of fasteners having different sizes, and is provided with a pressurizing pump which pressurizes a fluid to a prescribed pressure, a plurality of pressurizing units which each have a pressure receiving surface, are each disposed in a position capable of pressurizing each respective fastener, and which receive the fluid on the pressure receiving surface to pressurize each fastener. A supply system includes a base end connected to the pressurizing pump and a plurality of branch ends connected to each pressurizing unit, which branches from the base end toward the branch ends, and which is capable of supplying the fluid from the base end throughout the branch ends. Each pressure receiving surface has an individual pressure receiving surface area corresponding to the corresponding size, and the fluid is supplied at the prescribed pressure from the base end throughout the pressure receiving surfaces.

A first rod (21) is inserted into a first guide hole (11) so as to be movable in a vertical direction. A second rod (22) is inserted into a second guide hole (12), which crosses the first guide hole (11), so as to be movable in a horizontal direction. An accommodation groove (31) is disposed in a lower half portion of the first rod (21). The second rod (22) is provided with an insertion portion (32) to be fitted in the accommodation groove (31). A cam groove (38) provided in the insertion portion (32) is fitted over a pin (35) provided in the lower half portion of the first rod (21). A drive transmission (D) connected to the second rod (22) moves the second rod (22) in the horizontal direction.

A hydraulic forging machine and a method for replacing an upper anvil block thereof are disclosed. The hydraulic forging machine includes locking hydraulic cylinder that is fixed to a movable beam of the hydraulic forging machine when the hydraulic forging machine is in operation. The locking hydraulic cylinder is configured to provide a locking-unlocking function between an upper anvil block of the hydraulic forging machine and the movable beam. The locking hydraulic cylinder has its hydraulic power source supplied from a main hydraulic cylinder or a return hydraulic cylinder, which is also fixed to the movable beam. The present disclosure not only enables an oil supply circuit for the locking hydraulic cylinder to move together with the movable beam, but also simplifies the oil supply circuit for the locking hydraulic cylinder, resulting in an improved reliability of the hydraulic forging machine.

An apparatus for binding to a select surface and a method of use thereof is provided. The apparatus comprises a body, a flexible member, and a recess. The body has a proximal surface configured with a fluid port. The flexible member has a cavity therein and is operatively coupled to the body to form a seal with the body. The flexible member is configured to expand responsive to an expansive pressure within the cavity. The recess is formed by the proximal surface and the flexible member. The fluid port is configured to facilitate generation of a binding pressure within the recess.

Workpieces that generate pressure by an extrusion media (6, 6a) and are deformed in this way for the secure connection of components (7, 8). In particular, an extrusion billet which comprises an extrudable material or material mixture in the interior thereof, which can be reversibly compressed by a compression die (4) penetrating into the material, such that billet can expand in diameter by increasing the internal pressure in the billet, which leads to a very secure, but reversible press fitting of the different types of components to be connected, in particular of shaft-hub connections for mechanical engineering.

A valve (1) having at least one closure member (2) for closing a valve opening (3) and at least one valve rod (4), at least one first connecting section (5) being provided in or on the valve rod (4), at least one second connecting section (6) being provided in or on the closure member (2), and the closure member being fastenable or fastened to the valve rod by the connection of the first connecting section to the second connecting section. The first connecting section (5) and/or the second connecting section (6) has/have at least one pressure chamber (8) for a fluid, this chamber being delimited by at least one elastically deformable boundary wall (7) and the boundary wall can be elastically deformed by the fluid provided in the pressure chamber (8) in order to form a clamped connection of the first connecting section (5) to the second connecting section (6).
