@marcus: this is a system for sheet metal profile processing and manufacturing - sorry but the text has been pretty general so far, hope this helps to solve my question!

Stephen, you really need to describe this Profilieranlage in great detail. What parts are fed into it? What comes out? Profile machinery sounds wrong.

@david the locking ring seems to "fit" a lot better, i had not heard the term "abdr�cken" in this context b4, more (please forgive me) in a lavatorial sense! i couldn't imagine welding rubber - it stinks!

@david: It is for a "Profilieranlage" so I guess it forms profiles, am somewhat doubtful myself about "gasket" too

spreader plate

...just an idea, could be to distribute the pressure over a wider area when the Anlage is bolted down.

spring washer

is what this looks like to me, although I'm not too sure of my ground. I am not convinced one would weld a spring washer to the baseplate of your machine, but anything's possible...

By the way, what is it "profiling"?

Another \"BTW\": I don\'t THINK it is a gasket - but again, I\'m not sure...

I wonder actually if it is better described as a \"locking ring\", if it\'s intended to hold the machinery both level and in place, as it seems to be part of the adjusting device.
