thrust piece Explanation: A 'Zange' is basically pincers or forceps. It can also mean 'piece' or 'hand'. For example, those used in robotics: http://www.gemwelding.com/gem_de/pinze_de/G01.htm This is also confirmed by my Siemens FWbuch industrielle Elektrotechnik... Schub means shear, transverse force or axial thrust. I searched for thrust pieces used in braking mechanisms. (Your phrase reads: "According to this design, both thrust pieces can be used alternately as parking brakes or positioning elements"). I found this site: http://www.icon.co.za/~gosa/11_MT_Disc_Brake.htm You can see 'thrust pieces' used in disk brakes. and this one: http://www.eepc.gov.in/micro/products.htm HTH! M |

pressure tongs Explanation: I believe the (pair of) tongs do not move (push or similar) it's the jaws of these pressure tongs that move to create the braking or positioning/locking pressure for the axle on which the turbine is mounted. The word 'shub' is therefore related to the mechanism creating the pressure of the jaws. Duden-Oxford+Norsteds+professional experience with such brakes |
