Abstract

The present invention relates to a pressure shoe ( 1 ) for pressing finish band onto surfaces of a rotating workpiece, with a carrier ( 2 ), a radial press-on surface ( 3 ) for pressing finish band onto a circumferential surface of the workpiece, and axial press-on surfaces ( 4 ) for pressing the finish band onto axially aligned cheek surfaces of the workpiece that border the circumferential surface, wherein at least one axial press-on surface ( 4 ) is formed by at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ), and the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) can be at least sectionally moved at least in an axial direction ( 9 ) relative to the carrier ( 2 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pressure shoe ( 1 ) for pressing finish band onto surfaces of a rotating workpiece, with
 a carrier ( 2 ),   a radial press-on surface ( 3 ) for pressing finish band onto a circumferential surface of the workpiece, and   axial press-on surfaces ( 4 ) for pressing the finish band onto axially aligned cheek surfaces of the workpiece that border the circumferential surface, wherein
 at least one axial press-on surface ( 4 ) is formed by at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ), and 
 the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) is at least sectionally moveable 
 at least in an axial direction ( 9 ) relative to the carrier ( 2 ), characterized in that the pressure shoe ( 1 ) comprises a holder ( 6 ) for fastening the pressure shoe ( 1 ) to a processing machine, wherein the carrier ( 2 ) is mounted movably in the axial direction ( 9 ) on the holder ( 6 ). 
   
     
     
         2 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one linear bearing ( 10 ) is formed between the holder ( 6 ) and the carrier ( 2 ). 
     
     
         3 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , wherein the carrier ( 2 ) is detachably fastenable to at least one coupling component, wherein the at least one linear bearing ( 10 ) is arranged between the coupling component and the holder ( 6 ). 
     
     
         4 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , wherein the holder ( 6 ) is U-shaped, and a respective linear bearing ( 10 ) is arranged in both legs of the holder ( 6 ). 
     
     
         5 . A pressure shoe ( 1 ) for pressing finish band onto surfaces of a rotating workpiece, with
 a carrier ( 2 ),   a radial press-on surface ( 3 ) for pressing finish band onto a circumferential surface of the workpiece, and   axial press-on surfaces ( 4 ) for pressing the finish band onto axially aligned cheek surfaces of the workpiece that border the circumferential surface, wherein
 at least one axial press-on surface ( 4 ) is formed by at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ), and 
 the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) is at least sectionally movable at 
 least in an axial direction ( 9 ) relative to the carrier ( 2 ), characterized in that the axial press-on element ( 5 ) is coupled with the carrier in the axial direction ( 9 ) in such a way that a force in the axial direction ( 9 ) is impingeable on the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) by pressing the radial press-on surface ( 3 ) of the pressure shoe ( 1 ) onto the circumferential surface of the workpiece. 
   
     
     
         6 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 5 , wherein the radial press-on surface ( 3 ) is at least sectionally formed by at least one radial press-on element ( 7 ), and the radial press-on element ( 7 ) is mounted movably in radial direction ( 8 ) to the carrier in such a way that the radial press-on element ( 7 ) can be moved toward the carrier ( 2 ) by pressing the pressure shoe ( 1 ) onto the circumferential surface of the workpiece, wherein the radial press-on element ( 7 ) is coupled with the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) in such a way that the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) is impingable with a force in the axial direction ( 9 ) by pressing the radial press-on element ( 7 ) onto the circumferential surface of the workpiece. 
     
     
         7 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one radial press-on element ( 7 ) is spring-preloaded in the direction of the circumferential surface of the workpiece. 
     
     
         8 . The pressure shoe ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , wherein the coupling between the at least one radial press-on element ( 7 ) and the at least one axial press-on element ( 5 ) is established via wedge surfaces ( 11 ).
