Locking Elements consist of an internal and external tapered ring. When axial force is exerted on a set of Locking Elements, radial clamping pressures are generated on the shaft and in the hub bore providing a frictional connection. Units may be stacked up to three Elements deep for greater torques. For light to medium duty applications.
The slit versions are useful in applications requiring the bridging of bigger tolerances and/or higher torques. Stacking of the Elements is not recommended.
Simplified manufacture – only plain shaft and bore diameters with easily achieved surface finish and tolerances are required. Light duty series for torque transmission.
Simplified manufacture – only plain shaft and bore diameters with easily achieved surface finish and tolerances are required. Heavy duty series for high torque and bending moment.
Reduced dimensions with lower transmission values – especially for applications with restricted space.
This light duty external locking device is the first in the Shrink Disc range and is useful for low to medium torque requirements.
Reduced dimensions with lower transmission values – especially for applications with restricted space.
As a split version, the SR series is able to offer greater mounting versatility on symmetrical hub designs or can also be used as Half Shrink Discs for lower torque applications.
Standard series – this range is the most popular, being used in most applications.
This new design of Shrink Disc is made from high alloy forged rings and is practically indestructible. Replacing the smaller 4071 design, these units are available from 14mm to 195mm bore.
Standard series – this range is the most popular, being used in most applications. High transmission values are possible, and by varying the screw tightening torque the Shrink disc can be adapted to the design specification.
Stainless steel series – for applications where corrosion resistance and high transmissible torque is required.
This new design of Shrink Disc is made from stainless steel forged rings and uses high strength stainless steel screws. These units are available from 14mm to 195mm bore.
