Abstract:
A device for connecting metallic materials, in particular electrical conductors such as flexible cables, by means of ultrasound with a transducer (10) which generates ultrasonic oscillations of a wavelength lambda and containing a sonotrode (14, 18, 30) as well as a converter (12), wherein the transducer is seated at a distance of at least lambda/4 in respect to the sonotrode head (16),characterized in thatthe transducer (10) is exclusively supported at a distance of lambda/4 in respect to the sonotrode head (16) by means of a seating (20, 38) for absorbing radial and axial forces as well as at least bending moments and/or torsion moments.
