The object of providing a method for conditioning a working roll with which the material properties of a working roll can be set in a process-reliable and uniform manner is achieved by a method in which a roll and at least one pressure tool are rotated relative to each other, in which pressure is applied locally to the roll by means of the at least one pressure tool, comprising at least one pressure element, via the at least one pressure element, and in which a deep rolling process is carried out.

The invention concerns a rolling unit for machining the wheel running surfaces of wheelsets for rail vehicles, with the rolling unit featuring at least one work roller by means of which the wheel running surface to be machined is subjected to a deep rolling process following manufacture of the wheelset in new condition or, at a later date, after reprofiling to increase the service life of the wheel running surfaces. The task is solved to create a relevant rolling unit by means of which the wheel running surfaces can be deep-rolled in the forward feed process using work rollers. This task is solved by the rolling unit featuring a base body on which a support arm is located in a vertical position to the base area, on which a receptacle is supported that is unilaterally fixed in position via a thread in the support arm and on which an angular contact ball bearing is located; this supports at least one work roller featuring at least two different rolling radii.

Internal and external screw thread burnishing assemblies are provided. In the internal screw thread burnishing assembly, diametrically opposed removable cartridges carrying burnishing wheels are received in cavities of a support structure axially movable into the space circumscribed by the internal screw thread. Fluid pressure is utilized to forcibly translate the cartridges radially outwardly to place their burnishing wheels into burnishing engagement with the internal screw thread, with a spring structure resiliently biasing the cartridges toward retracted orientations thereof within the support structure. In the external screw thread burnishing assembly, burnishing wheels are carried on the outer ends of pivotally supported arms which may be pivoted by fluid pressure to drive the burnishing wheels into burnishing engagement with diametrically opposite portions of the external screw thread, with a spring structure resiliently biasing the arms pivotally away from one another.

An embodiment includes a suspended supporting device for targeted compression treatment of rotating shaft products, including: a containment frame including: a main portion; and an articulating arm including an attachment for at least one targeted compression cartridge, the at least one targeted compression cartridge including at least one angled compression element; a support element attached to the main portion and providing internal stabilization to the supporting device; a mechanism providing motion to the articulating arm with respect to the main portion; and an attachment mechanism for suspending the supporting device via attachment to an external element. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The invention relates to a device for the impact treatment of transition radii (8) of a crankshaft (4), in particular transition radii (8) between connecting rod bearing journals (5) and crank webs (7) and/or transition radii (8) between main bearing journals (6) and the crank webs (7) of the crankshaft (4). The device comprises an impact device (1) in order to introduce an impact force (FS) into at least one transition radius (8), wherein the impact device (1) has multiple impact heads (21) which are paired with the same transition radius (8).

The invention relates to a method for work-hardening a crankshaft (4) comprising connecting rod journals (5), main bearing journals (6) and crank webs (7), the connecting rod journals (5) and the main bearing journals (6) being provided with oil holes (31). According to the invention, at least one end (30) of one of the oil holes (31) and/or at least one cylindrical portion (38) of the oil holes (31) is/are work-hardened.

A rolling device for work pieces with toothing, in particular gear wheels, includes first and second shaping tools which are guided by a guide relative to the work pieces. With respect to the work pieces, a first region of a tooth flank is shaped with the first shaping tool and a second region of the tooth flank is shaped by the second shaping tool. The first and second shaping tools are respectively mounted on first and second rollers. The second roller has an axial thickness on the circumference, which differs from the axial thickness of the first roller such that the second region of the tooth flank is different from the first region.
