Abstract:
A coupling device joins and axially aligns segments of a driveshaft or other shaft to form one, continuous length, shaft for use in a machine press.
Abstract:
The conical clamping set (100) serves, for example, to connect a shaft (1) with a hub (3) and is arranged in the radial clearance (5) between the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (2) of the shaft (1) and the cylindrical inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). It includes inner conical rings (11, 12) with a cylindrical inner-circumference surface and a conical outer-circumference surface (8', 8"), as well as a thin-walled external conical ring (10, 18', 18") with conical, inner-circumference surfaces (7', 7") fitting onto the outer-circumference surfaces (8', 8") of the inner conical ring (11, 2) and a cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) intended for application on the inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). Axial clamping screws (19) are distributed over the circumference; the conical rings (11, 12) can be axially pulled against each other by tightening the clamping screws. Because of a radial stepping down (24) or circumference slot, the axial extension of the zone (21) of the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) of the external conical ring (10), in which the radial clamping forces are transferred to the inner circumference of the recess (4) of the hub (3), is smaller than the axial extension of the zone (35), in which the radial clamping forces act against the outer circumference (2) of the shaft (1), so the surface pressure on the surfaces (4, 6) is increased.
Abstract:
A changing device for shaft and hub connections, comprising a shaft end, a hub part surrounding the shaft end, and a conical clamping bushing disposed therebetween. There is also provided -means for retaining the clamping bushing on the end of the shaft in a way so that it cannot be lost, and at the same time serves to initiate biaxial displacement of the clamping bushing in relation to the end of the shaft. This permits assembling and dismantling of the hub part, whereby all other parts of the shaft and hub connection can remain mounted on the end of the shaft. This leads to particularly short tool changing times.
Abstract:
A tensioning assembly for connecting an outer component to a shaft. The tension assembly includes a double conical ring with a cylindrical circumferential surface and two oppositely inclined conical surfaces, and also includes two further conical clamping rings with each conical clamping ring having a conical circumferential surface which interacts with one of the conical surfaces of the double conical ring. Axial tensioning screws and axial forcing screws are uniformly distributed over the circumference of a pitch circle, such that the forcing screws are located at the same spacings and instead of the tensioning screws. At one location, a tensioning screw is provided outside the uniform spacings in order to ensure the correct alignment of the conical rings on the double conical ring in the circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A method for joining a ring member, e.g. a bearing inner race ring, to a shaft so that the ring member is primarily prevented from axial motion relative to the shaft involves arranging the ring member over the shaft so that the shaft extends through a bore in the ring member, and applying between the ring member and the shaft a clamping wedge force in which a tapering locking surface acts against a substantially corresponding tapering surface. The device for joining the ring member to the shaft includes a locking member mounted on the ring member and provided with a tapering contact surface that faces towards the shaft. An arrangement is provided for pressing the locking element against a tapering counter surface that is fixed in position relative to the shaft to prevent axial movement of the ring member on the shaft.
Abstract:
An expandable stop ring slides over the end of a top post until it engages a selected one of a number of spaced apart grooves in the end of a top post. The end of the top post is inserted into a bottom tubular post until the stop ring fits inside a keeper that is mounted to the upper end of the bottom post. The keeper prevents expansion of the stop ring, hence the stop ring and keeper combination support the top post and any equipment carried thereon. The top post height adjustment is made by lifting the top post to remove the stop ring from the keeper, thereby permitting sliding movement of the stop ring to another selected groove on the top post.
Abstract:
An impeller mounting system for a jet propelled watercraft uses an impeller shaft having a tapered portion and an impeller hub having a coaxial opening with a corresponding tapered seat. The impeller hub is tightened onto the impeller shaft so that the tapered portion of the impeller shaft presses against the tapered seat of the coaxial opening in the impeller hub with sufficient force to prevent the impeller hub from slipping with respect to the impeller shaft when the impeller shaft rotates to drive the impeller hub. Static frictional forces between the tapered surfaces bear the entire rotational load for the jet drive, therefore reducing chatter noise and wear which can be caused by load bearing splines or the like. The tapered seat configuration virtually assures proper concentric alignment of the impeller within the wear ring. The impeller shaft also preferably includes a bearing support portion extending rearward from the coaxial opening in the hub. The bearing support portion of the impeller shaft is preferably supported rigidly in a bearing support sleeve located in the hub of a stator mounted rearward of the impeller. This impeller mounting system facilitates easy assembly and disassembly when it is desirable to replace the impeller or otherwise provide maintenance to the jet drive.
Abstract:
Apparatus for mounting a mill roll on a mill drive shaft in which mounting concentricity is produced by the internal expansion of the drive shaft to engage the bore of the mill roll. A secondary clamping device provides additional lateral binding force on the mill roll necessary for the production of the required frictional forces for the transmission of driving torque from the shaft to the mill roll.
Abstract:
A concentric coupling and method for making the same are taught which include a cylindrical block which is concentrically bored and cut into an annular L-shaped segment having an L-shaped notch and a semi-cylindrical mating segment which is received into the notch. The coupling concentrically joins a pair of shafts together.
Abstract:
A clamping mechanism (12) connects a tubular shaft (4) to a journal (11). In its bore, the tubular shaft (4) has a profile which is engaged by the journal (11) by a corresponding counter-profile on its outer face along a length of overlap. The profile and counter-profile are tensioned relative to one another by the clamping mechanism (12). The clamping effect is achieved by taking advantage of the possibility of deforming the cross-section of the tube.
