Abstract: An electromagnetic acoustic transducer is provided which comprises magnets and a sheet type coil unit. The magnets are permanent magnets or electromagnets to provide a static magnetic field to an object to be inspected. The coil unit includes a pair of spiral or meander coils of an electrically conductive material, sandwiched between upper and middle insulation sheet and middle and lower insulation sheet. The coils are used for transmission and reception, respectively. All the ends of the respective coils extend through throughholes formed through the upper and middle insulation sheets to the surface of the ultrasonic transducer, and are connected to external leads. The ends for earth are commonly connected to form a common ground terminal. The inspection system with the electromagnetic acoustic resonance which is a combination of resonant technique and a non-contact electromagnetic acoustic transducer can accomplish evaluating the absolute value of ultrasonic attenuation. The attenuation is highly sensitive to the accumulated fatigue damage, showing a maximum around 20 - 30% of the whole life. This system can assess the damage advance and predict the fatigue life of metals.

Abstract: In known clamping cylinders, there is a great danger of accidents when an operator puts his hand between the clamping plate and the part to be clamped. Thus, the operation of the clamping cylinder can give rise to serious hand injuries. The new clamping head and safety clamping cylinder should be of simpler design than those previously known, work reliably and exclude the danger of accidents. The clamping head (20) comprises a ring part (21) and a clamping plate (22) to be positioned on the part to be clamped. The clamping plate (22) is held against the ring part (21) by means of spring loading with the intermediate positioning of a compressible O-ring (24). The ring part (21) and the clamping plate (22) together form a pressure space (23). This is permanently connected fluidically with the piston pressure space of the clamping cylinder belonging to the clamping head (20). The fluid connection can be effected through the piston rod (5) of the safety clamping cylinder (1). If the clamping plate (22) contacts an uneven obstacle, it tilts relative to the ring part (21), allowing the compressed air to freely escape from the clamping head (20) and thus causing the piston of the safety clamping cylinder (1) to stop at once. The advantage is that two-handed operation is no longer necessary because operator hand injuries are no longer possible.
