The adapter flanges / external
clamping elements are used to connect disc-shaped attachments such as
brake discs, pulleys and belt pulleys securely and without backlash by
friction. Connection to cardan shafts is also possible a possible
option. External clamping elements consist of a conical pressure ring and a conical inner ring. The
mode of operation is comparable to the 2-part shrink disc
(displacement-controlled). That means, by tightening the screws, the
pressure ring is pulled axially onto the inner ring. The use of tapered
surfaces reduces the inner diameter of the inner part, applying radial
pressure to the shaft. Compared to 2-part shrink discs
(path-controlled), mounting flanges clamp directly onto the shaft.
The main function of the rigid flange coupling is the safe and backlash-free connection of two shafts by means of friction. For example,
between a drive shaft and an agitator shaft. Flange couplings are
directly separable at the flanges. The pressure ring generates a
backlash-free connection by pressing the flange-hub onto the shaft. This
connection is mainly used to transmit torque.
Compared to thermal or form-fit solutions, the easy assembly and
disassembly is a decisive factor for maintenance work on drives.
By
the way, flange couplings can not only drive masses, but also brake
them. For this purpose, we offer our flange couplings optionally with
brake discs. Mounting on existing brake discs is also possible, and we
will be happy to make any necessary adjustments to our flange couplings.
