Shrink Disc Light Duty Series half

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. Half shrink discs With half shrink discs HT/HC only 50% of stated T is transmitted. Type HT (Threaded holes in thrust ring) Type HC (Clearance holes in thrust ring) Characteristics Shrink discs are the modern method for creating a mechanical shrink fit. The shrink disc consists of either one or two thrust rings with tapered bores and a mating tapered inner ring. By tightening locking screws the thrust rings are drawn together compressing the inner ring and applying pressure to the outside of the hub clamping it to the shaft. Being positioned around the hub there is only one interface transmitting the loads giving the shrink disc method distinct advantages such as offering the possibility of very...
