IPC: G05B5/01
Filed: 1985-04-17
Abstract: A servo mechanism, e.g. a rotational position servo, including a motor-driven load 10 having a first part 10' rigidly coupled to the motor 11 and a second part 10'' resiliently coupled to the first, a position transducer 13 coupled to the first part of the load and a (negative feedback) signal path 14, including a demand input summing junction 14', between the transducer and a driver 12 of the motor also includes in the signal path a stabilisation circuit 20 having a transfer function which is the reciprocal of that part of the open loop transfer function of the load which defines its resonant characteristics. The stabilisation circuit may be located at any point in the electrical path but preferably is located between the summing junction 14' and the driver 12 so that demand signals input at 14'' are compensated for the load resonance effects before application to the load. The stabilisation circuit is formed by a two-integrator type of active filter circuit having feedforward and feedback paths and component values to give the desired transfer function. <IMAGE>

Title: Pusher plate in a jaw crusher
Inventor: HUHDANKOSKI ERKKI
IPC: F16P5/00
Filed: 1986-10-14
Abstract: In a jaw crusher, a pusher plate 3 is located between a stationary counterstop (4) (Fig. 1, not shown) on the frame and the pendulum (1) providing the crushing motion, and acting in the direction of movement of the crushing motion and, at the same time, serving as overload protection. Correct dimensioning of the pusher plates in existing jaw crushers is exceedingly difficult, with the consequence that pusher plates fail too often. With the aid of the present invention, the above- mentioned and other problems encountered in connection with pusher plates of prior art have been solved in that the pusher plate 3 consists of at least two flank plates 7 which are urged together by one or more members eg breaker bolts 5 placed under tensile load and bound to fail at a given load, and that at the point where the members are located the distance, in the cross section, between the outer margins of the flank plates 7 is largest. <IMAGE>
