Abstract

An adjusting device is mounted for rotation about a central axis and can be axially actuated. The adjusting device can be displaced or shifted between an inoperative position and at least one working position by an axially displaceable fluid-driven piston.

Claims (21)

1. An adjusting element comprising:

at least one adjusting shaft supported for rotation with respect to a center axis;

means for supporting said at least one adjusting shaft for axial movement with respect to said center axis;

an axially displaceable fluid driven piston usable to displace said at least one adjusting shaft between a rest position and a work position, wherein in said rest position, said piston is out of contact with said at least one adjusting shaft and in said work position, said at least one adjusting shaft is in contact with said piston; and

at least one magnetic element, said at least one magnetic element being usable to return said piston to said rest position.

2. The adjusting element of claim 1 wherein in said working position, said adjusting shaft and said piston are displaceable to said rest position by at least one elastic element.

3. The adjusting element of claim 2 wherein said at least one elastic element is a spring.

4. The adjusting element of claim 1 wherein said at least one magnetic element is fixed on said piston.

5. An adjusting element comprising:

at least one adjusting shaft support ed for rotation with respect to a center axis;

means for supporting said at least one adjusting shaft for axial movement with respect to said center axis;

an axially displaceable fluid driven piston usable to displace said at least one adjusting shaft between a rest position and first and second working positions, wherein in said rest position, said piston is out of contact with said at least one adjusting shaft, wherein said fluid driven piston is engageable with said at least one adjusting shaft in said first working position by being charged with a fluid under pressure, and wherein in said second working position, said at least one adjusting shaft is engageable with said piston not charged with a fluid under pressure.

6. The adjusting element of claim 5 wherein in said working position, said adjusting shaft and said piston are displaceable to said rest position by at least one elastic element.

7. The adjusting element of claim 6 wherein said at least one elastic element is a spring.

8. The adjusting element of claim 6 wherein said magnetic element is a permanent magnet.

9. An adjusting element comprising:

at least one adjusting shaft supported for rotation with respect to a center axis;

an ejecting device usable to strip a tube off a clamping mandrel portion of said adjusting element;

an axially displaceable fluid driven piston usable to displace said at least one adjusting shaft between a rest position and at least one working position, wherein in said rest position, said piston is out of contact with said adjusting shaft, and in said at least one working position, said piston is in contact with said adjusting shaft.

10. The adjusting element of claim 9 wherein in said working position, said adjusting shaft and said piston are displaceable to said rest position by at least one elastic element.

11. The adjusting element of claim 10 wherein said at least one elastic element is a spring.
