A crimper includes a first arm that includes a first crimper die that defines a first tapered channel. The crimper also includes a second arm coupled to the first arm at a pivot connection. The second arm includes a second crimper die that defines a second tapered channel. The pivot connection enables the first arm and the second arm to rotate about the pivot connection from an open state to a closed state. The first arm and second arm rotate at an angle relative to one another to allow loading of the expandable medical device into the first tapered channel or the second tapered channel and to allow positioning of the expandable medical device relative to a delivery device. When transitioning, the first tapered channel and the second tapered channel form a chamber that is configured to crimp the expandable medical device from the uncompressed state to the compressed state.

The invention relates to a method for producing a drive unit device, in particular a fan device, which has at least one first modular unit (12) and at least one second modular unit (16), which concentrically accommodates at least a portion of the first modular unit (12), with the first and second modular units (12, 16) being intended to contribute mechanically to a change in torque, and the first modular unit (12) being secured in the second modular unit (16) in at least one method step (100, 110). To increase safety and reduce process costs, it is proposed that the first modular unit (12) be secured in the second modular unit (16) by means of at least one concentric pressing process step.

The present disclosure relates to a method for connecting a motor to a gearbox, wherein, first, a form- and/or force-fit connection between the motor and the gearbox is established by screwing together a motor- or gearbox-side first component and the respective motor- or gearbox-side second component to be connected thereto, or by establishing an interference fit between these two components, and wherein, additionally, an axial lock between the two components is then established by means of caulking, in that a lug formed on the first component is deformed by means of a caulking tool into a recess formed on the second component.

Crimping pliers include a clamping assembly including a left jaw and a right jaw, a control mechanism, and a rotating button mechanism. The left jaw includes a left connecting portion and a left head. The right jaw includes a right connecting portion and a right head. The control mechanism drives the clamping assembly to switch between a clamping state and an open state. The rotating button mechanism includes a first connecting plate connected to the right connecting portion, an eccentric shaft, a rotating button connected to the eccentric shaft, and a limiting structure connected to the rotating button to limit a rotating range of the rotating button. The first connecting plate is rotatably connected to the left connecting portion through the eccentric shaft. The rotating button adjusts a distance between the left connecting portion and the right connecting portion by driving the eccentric shaft to eccentrically rotate.

A crimping method including providing a coupling including a sidewall and a ribbed stem having a plurality of radial valleys, the ribbed stem defining a longitudinal axis, wherein the first sidewall extends radially to the axis, and providing a die including a stop and a channel extending through the stop, the channel having a ribbed section with a plurality of ribs. The ribbed stem is inserted through the first stop, into the first channel and into the end of a hose. With a ferrule arranged between the ribbed section and the hose and the sidewall pressed against the stop, the die is used to compress the end of the hose between the ferrule and the ribbed stem with the plurality of radial valleys radially aligned with the plurality of ribs. The couplings are selected from a medical gas medical gas outlet rough-in and a medical gas nut nipple.

A radial press has a plurality of press bodies arranged around a press axis which can be moved radially in relation to the press axis, and a drive unit for shifting the press bodies in the direction of or away from the press axis. The press bodies each have a main jaw and a pressing jaw, which is fixed interchangeably on the main jaw. The main jaws each comprise a radially inwardly arranged pressing-jaw-supporting surface and, adjacent to the latter in the circumferential direction, two side surfaces. The pressing jaws butt against the pressing-jaw-supporting surface of the associated main jaw and have a fixing protrusion, which projects from the abutment surface, enters into a mount provided on the main jaw and interacts with a locking device. Each main jaw has a recess on its supporting surface which extends from the mount and opens out on one of the side surfaces.

An assembly for securing a component of a damper assembly includes a press movable along an axis from a retracted position to an extended position. The assembly includes a plurality of rollers rotatably supported at an end of the press. The rollers have an outer circumferential surface that includes a middle portion extending, in cross-section, transversely to the axis and linearly between an entry portion and a top portion of the outer circumferential surface.

An apparatus for forming and sealing a duct member for use in an air handling system. At least one work station accommodates a work piece, which is generally a cylindrical tube.

A press device comprising a press ring for pressing together tubular workpieces in between, and at least a first and a second pivotable jaw is described. The first jaw comprises a first engagement section and the second jaw comprises a second engagement section. The press ring comprises a first and a second receiving section for receiving the first and the second engagement section of the press jaws, respectively. A first and a second surface of the first and the second receiving section, respectively, contact the first and the second engagement section, respectively. Each comprise a planar surface. The first and the second contact surface oppose each other for applying a press force F. The first contact surface and the second contact surface each comprise at least one convex surface.

A working head (1) for a compression or cutting tool (100) comprises a connecting portion (3) for a removable connection of the working head (1) with an actuation part (2) of the tool (100), two jaws (4) movable between an open position and a closed position to perform the compression or cutting, and a local storage (6) configured for storing one or more cumulative data representative of a stress history of the jaws (4), wherein the local storage (6) is fixed to the working head (1).
