Shrink Disc Standard Series stainless steel

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. 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 concentric and well balanced connections that are suited to high speed applications. Traditional shrink fits require complicated calculations, close machining tolerances...
