The invention relates to a round plug () for industrial applications of the automation industry. The round plug () comprises a circuit board () in the interior of the round plug (), together with: a sensor element () disposed on the circuit board (); an evaluation circuit () applied to the circuit board (); an interface (S); a collar surface () on the periphery of the round plug (); an axis of rotation (); and a sleeve-type adjustment element (), which partly rotates about the axis of rotation (); wherein: the adjustment element () consists of an inner sleeve (), an outer sleeve (), a spring wire () and a magnet (), and the magnet () is inserted into the outer sleeve (); the adjustment element () is pressed onto the round plug () such that the inner sleeve () is fixedly and interlockingly connected to the collar surface () of the round plug (); an initial position (G) is assumed by—the movable parts of the adjustment element (), —the outer sleeve () and—the magnet () when the spring wire () is in spring equilibrium; the sensor element () can detect the initial position (G) and, when the adjustment element () is rotated out of the initial position (G), can distinguish a first direction of rotation (A) from a second, opposite direction of rotation (B).

Round plug having an adjustment element

The invention relates to a friction damper () and method related to the preparation of a friction damper, particularly for drum washing machines having a spin gear, with a housing and with a moveable tappet () which is arranged in the housing (), parallel to the housing longitudinal axis (), and is led out of the housing () and which is provided at its end located in the housing with a moveably guided friction lining (). The invention is distinguished in that the friction lining () or a body carrying the friction lining () is provided with a receptacle () for receiving an expandable body ().

Friction damper, particularly for drum washing machines

The present invention relates to a frictional damper, especially for cylinder washing machines with spin cycle, having a housing () and a movable plunger () which is arranged in the housing () parallel to the housing longitudinal axis, is led out of the housing () and is provided with at least one window () at its end located in the housing (), at least one mounting part (), movable longitudinally relative to the plunger (), for mounting a friction lining () and at least one amplitude-dependent impact element () for braking the movement of the mounting part () being provided in the window (), this frictional damper being characterized in that the impact element () is arranged between an inner surface () of the window () and an outer surface () of the mounting part ().
