Shrink discs and clamping elementsShrink discs are used in a shaft connection of a hollow shaft and a solid shaft, in which the torque is to be transferred by a shrink connection instead of a keyway. When mounted correctly, a shrink disc is an excellent solution for connecting a machine shaft to a gearbox shaft where the gearbox is still easily dismountable after many years of operation.
Shrink discs work in external tension, i.e. they are placed around the axis to be clamped. Clamping elements are inside tensioning, which means that the clamping element is mounted between the two objects to be clamped. They are widely used in gearboxes, backlash-free mounting of pulleys, discs and various other connections. |
