A method for producing an electrical heating device with the steps of preparing a sleeve from a first material that has a first strength; arranging an electrical heating element in the sleeve; arranging of a filler material in the sleeve, so that parts of the electrical heating element carrying current are electrically isolated from the sleeve and the position of the electrical heating element in the sleeve is fixed, and at least section-wise compression of the sleeve, of the electrical heating element is arranged in sections of the sleeve that are compressed, and of the filler material arranged in sections of the sleeve that are compressed, wherein, before the completion of the at least section-wise compression of the sleeve, in sections to be compressed, a tubular section is arranged that is made from a second material that has a second strength higher than the first strength.

Steering rod for connecting an actuator to a turbocharger drive member, comprising an elongated main body (2), which extends between a first end (5) equipped with a first through-hole (7), and a second end (6) equipped with a second through-hole (8), and two bushings (3), (4) immovably mounted in the through-holes (7), (8), wherein the bushings (3), (4) are made of a material which has a greater resistance to mechanical wear than the material delimiting the through-holes (7), (8), and wherein each bushing (3) (4) has an outer surface that is in contact with an inner part of the through-hole (7), (8) and has a radial recess (9), the second material tightening the bushing (3), (4) preventing it from rotating and filling the recess (9) preventing the bushing (3), (4) from being extracted from the second through-hole (7), (8).

A ball joint includes a carrier part and a hollow ball which is a component separate from the carrier part and is fixed on the carrier part.

Examples provide a method and apparatus for fastener pin removal. A fastener pin removal tool includes a tool body having a workpiece interface surface, a threaded hole and opposing side edges. A fitting is coupled to the end of the threaded screw that is proximate the workpiece interface surface. The fitting includes a keyhole-slot configured to receive the head of a pin. The keyhole-slot defines a set of spaced-apart jaws configured to engage the head of the pin that is received within the keyhole-slot. A rotational end-piece is coupled to the threaded screw and rotates to cause the fitting and the set of spaced-apart jaws to pull the head of the pin received within the keyhole-slot. As the rotational end-piece pulls the pin head, the pin is removed from a workpiece.

A compression collar is used for reinforcing an interference fit between a piping end and a fitting. The compression collar comprises a reinforcing ring having a tubular geometry with a radially-inward facing surface and a radially-outward facing surface. A sleeve is received around, at least in part, a portion of the radially-outward facing surface of the reinforcing ring and this sleeve wraps around one axial end of the reinforcing ring to form a stop edge thereon.

A ball joint includes a carrier part and a hollow ball which is a component separate from the carrier part and is fixed on the carrier part.

Tooling is held within the nose of a rotary punch and as the tool is rotated and forced against a workpiece a fastener within the tool becomes affixed to the workpiece. The tools have displacers which non-destructively deform and reshape the workpiece without any loss of workpiece material. The tools have various types of displacers including; tapered and arcuate displacers which act in concert to progressively act upon the workpiece; spherical displacers which may be fixed or rotatable such as caged ball bearings; and a full-circle displacer ring which wobbles as it presses against the workpiece. In the case of fixed spherical displacers, a multi-stroke method can be employed where the tool is rotated after each stroke in a group of installation strokes.

A device and method of positioning a component on a cable. The method includes: moving a collet into position on the component; engaging the component with the collet; moving the collet with the component positioned thereon into alignment with an end of the cable; securing the collet to the end of the cable; moving the component from the collet to the cable; and removing the collet from the end of the cable.

Devices, systems, and methods for crimping a medical device are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for reducing the diameter of a collapsible heart valve prosthesis to be loaded onto a delivery device. The devices, systems, and methods using at least one funnel to crimp the heart valve prosthesis and load it onto the delivery system.

A method for manufacturing a rotor shaft for an electrical aggregate, including providing a pin having a shaft plug-in, in particular a cylindrical shaft plug-in; producing a hollow rotor shaft body being open at least at a first end for receiving the pin and in form of a rotary body, where an oversize exists between at least one outer surface of the shaft plug-in and at least one inner surface of the rotor shaft body; and inserting the shaft plug-in into the rotor shaft body for fastening the pin to the rotor shaft body for finishing the rotor shaft, such that the process and operation of manufacturing a rotor shaft is simplified while at the same time reducing costs and material waste, and to produce a rotor shaft that can withstand high loads and transmit high torques.
