Federgeber

[Golazo]

I have a spreadsheet concerning modules on a training course for injection moulding machines.
One cell is as follows:

"Reparatur und Austausch von Ersatzteilen beim Federgeber"

What is a FEDERGEBER?

 

[Hans in Texas]

You may already know that Feder means feather, quill (for writing), fountain pen, spring (not the season, the springs that soften the ride in your car). I would guess the Federgeber is a device to insert a spring into the device being manufactured.

"Geber" is an encoder/transducer (?). A device which transforms the an optical, mechanical or magnetical signal of a sensor into an electrical signal.

Now I understand.
I would define "Geber" in this sense as a technical artificial sensor (a device).
"Federgeber" sounds unreasonable, but I think it could mean "Weggeber für Federweg", which is in English "displacement sensor for spring deflection". I found corresponding examples in German and English (I won't insert them here).

I am not sure if the spring ("Feder") is inside the device or outside, but I think it's outside and is connected to Federung (Fahrzeug) – Wikipedia.
P.S.: I see that this is not connected with injection moulding ... but there may be springs in injection moulding machines.

Maybe it's a coil spring actuator?

I think it's the opposite. For example a pressure sensor in form of a spring. If a certain force is applied on the spring then the electrical circuit closes and electricity flows.

Yes, may be.

P.S.:

I think a "Geber" is not an actuator, usually. But maybe there are exceptions.

 

[Det van Rijn]

"Federgeber" is a very strange German word for a very simple mechanical part: it's a shaft coupling, the middle part of which consists of a steel spring or an extremely resistant rubber, mainly used in the automotive section.

 

[Frieder]

Sounds more like a Hardyscheibe to me rather than a Federgeber.

Moderator note: Nobody seems to know what is meant and we are poking in the dark. I suggest, @Golazo, you ask a specialist.

All of you, thank you very much for the effort to make sense of the question, but please refrain from further guesswork. Please only post if you have concrete knowledge.
