<p>PCT No. PCT/EP97/03507 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 12, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 12, 1999 PCT Filed Jul. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/12900 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 26, 1998The invention relates to the rotary and simultaneous electroinductive hardening of the bearing surfaces (2a; 3a) of crank pins (2; 3) of a crankshaft (1) disposed immediately one beside the other and offset in relation to one another in the axial direction (D), having inductors (10; 11) which each engage around the crank pins (2; 3) by a maximum of 180 DEG and which each have two inductor branches (12, 13; 14, 15) arranged in parallel and following the curvature of the bearing surfaces (2a; 3a), of which one branch is associated with the overlapping zone (5) of the crank pins (2; 3), the other branch being associated with the particular other edge zone (2b; 3b) of the crank pin (2; 3) associated therewith, the inductor branches (12, 13; 14, 15) of each inductor (10; 11) having in the axial direction (D) a distance (A) increased in relation to half the total width (B) of the crank pins (2; 3). According to the invention such a device is characterised in that the inductors (10; 11) engage around the crank pins (2; 3) substantially from the same direction (R) and the zone of increased distance (A) of the inductor branches (12, 13; 14, 15) of each inductor (10; 11) is limited to that portion (12c; 14c) of the inductor branch (12; 14) associated with the overlapping zone (5) which does not in any rotary position of the crankshaft (1) penetrate the corresponding portion (14c; 12c) of the inductor branch (14; 12) of the particular other inductor (11; 10) associated with the overlapping zone (5).</p> |
