The invention relates to a drive device for an electrical switching device, in particular for a high-voltage switch, having a housing which can be filled with insulating gas, having an energy storage device which is arranged in the housing and has a spring and a stop against which the spring can be tensioned. According to the invention, an adjustment device which can be actuated from the exterior of the housing is provided, by means of which adjustment device a position of the stop in the housing can be adjusted along an axis.

An apparatus (200) for remote manipulation of an electric equipment. The apparatus (200) comprises a supporting structure (204) adapted to be attached to the electric equipment adjacent to a button (202a) of the electric equipment and an elongated lever (206) attached to an axis (204a) of the supporting structure between a first end and a second end of the elongated lever such that the elongated lever is rotatable around the axis (204a). The apparatus (200) also comprises an actuation member (208, 210) adapted to actuate the first end of the elongated lever in response to an actuation signal (S) such that the elongated lever rotates around the axis (204a) so to move a finger portion (206c) at the second end of the lever against the button with a predefined maximum length. Thereby, a precise and well-defined movement of the finger portion (206c) can fairly easy be created with a predefined maximum length which is sufficient to press the button (202a) to activate some function as desired, but without risking damage of the button (202a).

The present invention relates to a motor drive having a position indicator for actuation of an on-load tap changer or diverter. The invention proposes a motor drive for actuating an on-load tap changer or diverter. This diverter has a drive motor which drives at least one load gear and an indicator gear, wherein the load gear has a first drive shaft, having a first drive pulley which is mechanically connected thereto and is connected to the drive motor, and a second drive shaft having a second drive pulley which is connected thereto. The first and second drive pulleys are mechanically coupled, wherein the second drive shaft itself is operatively connected on the first side thereof to the on-load tap changer or the diverter and can be connected by the second side thereof to the indicator gear. The indicator gear co-operates with a position indicator, by means of which the currently activated position of the on-load tap changer or diverter can be displayed, and wherein a switchable coupling device can be provided between the position indicator and the load gear.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for a user input device, such as a game controller, that includes a finger-pressable (tactile) switch. The switch is adjustable to change the amount of force used to actuate the switch. In an example implementation, a tactile switch comprises a housing, a button interposer, a dome switch, and an adjustment mechanism. A user or other entity may press the button interposer. The dome switch is contained in the housing, and is actuated by the button interposer being pressed. The adjustment mechanism is contained at least partially in the housing, and is configured to enable an amount of force used to press the button interposer to actuate the dome switch to be adjusted.

A system for adjusting a length of an insulating rod of a high voltage circuit breaker includes a clutch and a fitting. The clutch includes a thread with a given thread pitch, and the fitting includes a thread with a given thread pitch formed in coordination with the thread of the clutch. The fitting is adjustably coupled with the clutch by means of the threads and the fitting is configured to be fixedly coupled with the insulating rod such that with respect to an assembled state of the system with insulating rod and with respect to a longitudinal axis the length of the insulating rod is adjustable due to rotation of the clutch relative to the fitting.
