Abstract

Device for the adjustment of the stroke length of a needle carrier (12) of a pickling machine, which can be moved back and forth in such a way that the lower deadpoint of the needle carrier is independent of the stroke length, is characterized by the fact that needle carrier (12) is articulated with an intermediate lever (24) that can be turned around a rigid axis (26) and this lever (24) is joined in turn via a connecting rod (22) with a crankshaft (18) driven in rotation, and that coupling point (32) of connecting rod (22) on intermediate lever (24) can be adjusted in a connecting link (34), which runs concentric to the axis of rotation of crankshaft (18) in the lower dead-point position of intermediate lever (24).
