Abstract:
The invention relates to a clamping device with a base body (2) which comprises a central receptacle (5) for a component or tool to be clamped, in the base body (2) at least one groove (6) being formed which is open to a face side of the base body (2), and with at least one clamping wedge (9b) which can be pressed axially into the groove (6) from the open face side of the latter to radially deform an inner wall section (7) lying between the groove (6) and the receptacle, which is characterized in that the wall (10) which defines the groove (6) on the outside is designed to be elastic over at least an axial partial section such that it is elastically deformed to the outside when the at least one clamping wedge (9b) is pressed into the groove (6).
Abstract:
A hollow shaft coupling for connecting a shaft (3) to a hollow shaft (2), wherein the hollow shaft coupling (1) can be arranged completely in the hollow shaft (2) and can effect clamping both axially inwardly as well as axially outwardly. The coupling (1) enables a first clamping unit (5) to clamp the hollow shaft coupling (1) axially inwardly against the shaft (3) and a second clamping unit (6) which is separate from the first clamping unit (5) to clamp the hollow shaft coupling (1) axially outwardly against the inner circumferential surface (7) of the hollow shaft (3), with the two clamping units (5, 6) spaced apart from one another axially, and the two clamping units (5, 6) connected to one another via a play-free and rotationally stable coupling which is arranged between them.
Abstract:
A direct torque flow constant velocity joint collet connector includes an outer joint part having outer ball tracks, an inner joint part having inner ball tracks, a cage and a plurality of balls. The inner joint part is articulately secured in a rotationally fast way to the outer joint part with the plurality of balls held in the cage. The inner joint part includes a front portion, an inner bore, a collet extension and at least one slot. The collet extension extends from the inner ball tracks to the front portion of the inner joint part. The slot extends into the collet extension from the front portion between an outer surface and the inner bore of the inner joint part, wherein the collet extension of the inner joint part is compressible for selective attachment to a journal shaft of a supplied drive unit.
Abstract:
A shrink disc unit comprising: a rotating body with a peripheral outer surface; a hub, surrounding the rotating body with a peripheral inner surface, which together with the peripheral outer surface form a separating line between the rotating body and the hub at an angle to a rotational axis of the rotating body in the longitudinal section of the shrink disc unit, whereby the hub may be shrunk onto the rotating body along the separating line, or is shrunk over the separating line; a fluid channel, leading through the rotating body or the hub, for pressurisation of the separating line with a pressure fluid; and a fixing device, formed from one of the rotating body or the hub, alone or in combination with the other and by means of which a tool for the assembly or disassembly of the hub may be either supported on the rotating body or the hub and which may be fixed at a given angular position on the rotating body and/or the hub.
Abstract:
A method for improving the concentricity of a coupling between a shaft and a hub in a motion control system. The shaft is coupled to the hub by means of a bushing that may be drawn into the hub by means of a single set screw. The depth of the bushing exceeds a calculated critical cocking length. The bushing may be split and may also be tapered, and in certain embodiments, has a bore of diameter smaller than 0.5 inches.
Abstract:
The component assembly (100) serves in a free from play connection of two components (1, 2) by a radially-expandable, conical clamping system (10) arranged in aligned bores (5, 6) of the first component (1) and the second component (2). The clamping arrangement (100) is intended to be clamped and released if inserted into a blind bore (5) of the first component (1). For this purpose, the outer sleeve (14) of the conical clamping system (10) has at one end a radial circumferential projection (17) that rests axially against the outside of the second component (2), while the other end of the outer sleeve (14) is cylindrical throughout and has a diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the bore configured as a blind bore (5) in the first component (1), and a coaxial threaded bore (7) is provided in the bottom (8) of the bore (5), the threaded bore having a smaller diameter than a through bore (12) that is present as a through bore (12) in the conical clamping system (10) and receives the clamping bolt (22).
Abstract:
In order to permit a steering wheel to be simply connected to a steering shaft having a frusto conical tapered portion, a serrated or splined portion and a threaded portion, in a manner which permits ready adjustment of the wheels' position which respect to the shaft, the central boss of the steering wheel is divided into separate upper and lower boss members. The lower boss member seats on the tapered portion and is rigidly connected with the steering wheel. The upper boss member fits on the serrated portion so that relative rotation is prevented. By tightening a nut on the threaded portion of the steering shaft, force can be applied through the upper boss member to the lower one in a manner which produces a frictional engagement between the lower boss member and the tapered portion which prevents relative rotation. Various mechanical arrangements are provided between the upper and lower boss members to either limit the amount of relative rotation which can occur therebetween prior the tightening of the nut or control the relative rotation to the degree that accidental relative rotation which is not deliberately induced cannot take place, even in the absence of the nut applying sufficient force to prevent relative rotation between the shaft and the lower boss member.
Abstract:
A threaded hub and shaft connection includes a first hub threaded onto a first section of the shaft using a thread shape having a working face rise angle of from 7 to 25 degrees. Preferably a second hub is threaded onto a second section of the shaft inboard of the first hub, and the threads in the second hub and second shaft section also have a working face rise angle of from 7 to 25 degrees. Bolts or set screws engage both of their hubs in such manner as to exert axial force on at least the first hub tending to move the first hub relative to the shaft in the working face rise direction of the thread carrying the first hub.
Abstract:
A structural joint which may be for orthopedic use is effective to simultaneously resist bending and torsional loading. It includes a female member formed with a cone shaped bore and a mouth defining entry into the bore. A male member matingly engageable with the female member has a contoured outer surface which includes a coupling element sized and shaped for mating engagement with the bore. When the male and female members are joined, the coupling element extends to a location within the bore spaced from the mouth and joins, via a smooth surfaced intermediate element, to a transitional element whose transverse dimension is substantially smaller than the mouth of the bore as it extends through and beyond the mouth. The bore and the coupling element may be mutually tapered such that the male and female members become locked together when engaged.
