A dynamic balance device for a press machine includes a plurality of cam portions which transmit a vertical motion of a slide to a balance weight to move the balance weight in a reverse direction of the vertical motion of the slide. The cam portions are each movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide, and each include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on a member which is provided integrally with the slide and vertically moves with the slide. The second inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on the balance weight.

The invention relates to a drive (1; 101) of a machine (2) comprising a drive motor (3) for driving a rotatable shaft (5) of the machine (2) around a shaft axis of rotation (4), and comprising a clutch unit (10) in operative connection with the drive motor (3) and the shaft (5) for compensating for a relative movement (11) between the shaft (5) and the drive motor (3). The drive motor (3) has a rotor part (35) surrounding the shaft (5) on which a clutch rotation part (18A) of the clutch system (10) is mounted to be rotatable around the shaft axis of rotation (4), wherein the rotor part (35) is arranged at least partially engaging in the clutch rotation part (18A) in such a way that the clutch rotation part (18A) is mounted radially movably on the rotor part (35).

A hand operated press 10 for foodstuff includes a base plate assembly 20 with a moving plate assembly 40 hingedly mounted at a predetermined points of their peripheries. An actuating arm 60 is hingedly mounted to the periphery of the base plate assembly 20 at a point opposite to where moving plate assembly 40 is hingedly mounted. A concave portion 70 in the actuating arm with a concavity facing the distal end of the moving plate comes in cammingly contact avoiding a perpendicular angle of attack. A protuberance 48 extending from the distal end 47 of the moving plate assembly 40 further ensures the cammingly contact while preventing actuating arm assembly 60 to totally collapse against the base plate assembly. A curved portion adjacent to the concave portion is prevents a user's fingers from coining in contact with the base plate assembly.

A curved portion adjacent to the concave portion is prevents a user's fingers from coining in contact with the base plate assembly.

The invention relates to a crimping press 20 with a first pressing jaw 60 and with a crimping drive device 26, wherein the crimping drive device 26 comprises a drive element 50 and a drive shaft 44 for moving the drive element 50, and at least one rotatable shaft 42 for moving the first pressing jaw 60, and at least one first bearing system 41, on which the rotatable shaft 42 is mounted rotatably. The first bearing system 41 comprises at least one ball bearing and at least one needle bearing. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a crimped connection by way of the crimping press, and the use of at least one first bearing system 41 in the crimping drive device 26 of the crimping press 20.

The disclosure relates to a downholding press for producing a semi-finished product from sheet-metal material having thickness-reduced regions, wherein the semi-finished product after forming has regions with mutually dissimilar wall thicknesses and the downholding press has an upper tool and a lower tool as well as a downholding element, and a convexity on the sheet-metal material is generated between the upper tool and the lower tool such that the sheet-metal material is reduced in thickness in regions by elongation, wherein a blocking cam is configured on the downholding element in such a manner that a follow-on of the sheet-metal material is impeded.

A punching device includes a body, a drive unit connected to an upper part of the body, and a cam block that moves in a horizontal direction in the interior of the body under a driving action of the drive unit. A second rotating roller, which is connected to a rod, is inserted in a second cam groove of the cam block. The second cam groove includes first and second groove portions inclined at predetermined angles with respect to the direction of movement of the cam block, such that when the rod descends downwardly toward a workpiece, a second rotating roller moves from the second groove portion to the first groove portion having a smaller angle of inclination, whereby the driving force transmitted to the rod is boosted in power.
