Abstract: Variation in strip velocity in a treatment section (2) of, e.g., a pickling installation  is compensated by variation in strip length between the treatment section (2) outlet end and a downstream tensioner, so that constant strip length is maintained between the outlet end and an upstream tensioner (61) without perceptible variation in tractive force applied to the strip (4) between tensioners. A metallic strip (4) moves in a longitudinal direction through an installation comprising at least three successive sections, namely a feed section (1), a section (2) for treatment in at least one extended tank containing processing fluid and having an inlet (23) and an outlet located at an upper level and between which the moving band forms a curve (40) whose lower part (43) is located at a lower level that depends on the length of the strip between the inlet (23) and outlet, and a discharge section. The treatment section (2) is connected to an upstream tensioner (61) and a downstream tensioner located before the inlet end (20) and behind the outlet end of the treatment section (2), respectively. Any variation in strip velocity in the treatment section (2) is compensated immediately, at least during strip acceleration or deceleration, by a corresponding variation in the length of the strip between the outlet end of the treatment section (2) and the downstream tensioner, so as to maintain a substantially constant length of the strip between the outlet end of the treatment section (2) and the upstream tensioner (61) without any perceptible variation in the tractive force applied to the strip (4) between the two tensioners.  An Independent claim is given for an installation for implementation of the invented process.

Abstract: In Kraftfahrzeugen treten während der Schlupfphase einer Kupplung im Antriebsstrang Schwingungen auf, die in der Fahrzeugkupplung erzeugt werden. Diese Schwingungen entstehen, wenn bei einer schlupfenden Kupplung periodische Drehmomente erzeugt werden, die im Eigenfrequenzbereich des durch die Kupplung dynamisch getrennten Antriebsstranges liegen. Derartige Drehschwingungen werden im Antriebsstrang von den Antriebsrädern des Fahrzeugs in Längsschwingungen umgewandelt und von den Fahrzeuginsassen als nachteilig empfunden. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrund, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung vorzustellen, mit denen diese störenden Schwingungen zumindest in der Höhe ihrer Amplitude verringert werden. Dazu ist verfahrensmässig vorgesehen, mit Hilfe einer Steuerungs- und Regelungsvorrichtung (24) und geeigneten Sensoren (34, 36, 41) die störenden Schwingungen festzustellen und bei einem Überschreiten von zuvor festgelegten Grenzwerten wenigstens eine Vorrichtung (7, 11, 15, 23, 29, 30) zu betätigen, mit der auf Bestandteile des Fahrzeugs derart eingewirkt wird, dass die störenden Schwingungen gedämpft oder kompensiert werden.
