Abstract:
A turbomachine includes a housing and a shaft mounted rotatably relative to the housing about a rotary axis, an element with a through opening through which the shaft protrudes, a first ring element and a second ring element. The first ring element is arranged with its inner surface on the shaft and the element is fixed by the first ring element at a predetermined position on the shaft. The second ring element is arranged with its inner surface lying on the outer surface of the first ring element, which outer surface tapers conically from a first axial end to a second axially opposite axial end. The inner surface of the second ring element tapers conically in a complementary way to the outer surface of the first ring element. An axial movement of the second ring element relative to the first ring element compresses the first ring element against the shaft.
Abstract:
In a frictional rotary connector having a tapered ring arrangement (3) to be placed onto a shaft and having at least one tapered ring section (e.g. 4a) with an inner surface for abutting the shaft, and with an oblique outer surface (e.g. 5a), at least one tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) with an oblique inner surface, which element slides between a starting position and a clamping position on the oblique outer surface (e.g. 5a) of the tapered ring section (e.g. 4a), and a tensioning ring for moving the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in order to lock the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in the clamping position at least one retaining element (8) is provided which is arranged to be guided in a radial direction from a free position to a clamping position, wherein the retaining element (8) axially locks the tensioning ring element (e.g. 6a) in the clamping position.
Abstract:
A flanged linear ball bearing is provided with a linearly translocatable flange which can be secured to a flange support. A gap is formed between the flange and the ball bearing proper and an intermediate member is adapted to fit in the gap so as to secure the flange to the outside of the bearing proper. The flange is adapted to be secured to a flange support which extends around the bearing proper.
Abstract:
A chip slicer for slicing wood chips such as for use in a pulp preparation procedure with an annular housing having knives therein and a rotor therein with anvil means for carrying wood chips against the knives with a shaft extending coaxially for diving the rotor, a driving hub mounted on the shaft and connected to it, a driven hub rotatably mounted by bearings on the driving hub with each of the hubs having annular plates and shear pins extending axially between the plates of a strength to transmit normal rotational power and to shear upon forced stalling of the rotor with the driven hub permitting continued rotation of the driving hub within the driven hub and continued rotation of the shaft with forced stalling of the rotor.
Abstract:
A centrifugal gas compressor impeller is assembled to a rotatable shaft with two friction washers having conical surfaces mating with respective opposite conical surfaces of the impeller that are concentric to a central impeller aperture through which a threaded bolt is passed and threaded into a threaded aperture at the end of the rotatable shaft. The angles of concentricity for the conical surfaces of the washer are slightly different than the angles of concentricity of the mating impeller surfaces so that a friction lock is obtained between the shaft and impeller and also the impeller and washer apertures are slightly larger than the bolt shaft diameter so that an impeller centering relative to the shaft is assured during assembly.

1,143,522. Shaft couplings; resilient couplings; universal joints; securing parts on shafts. METALLSCHLAUCHFABRIK A.G. 17 Jan., 1967 [26 Jan., 19661, No. 2408/67. Heading F2U. In a rigid or resiliently flexible coupling or universal joint disposed between two at least approximately coaxial shaft ends 1, 2 and comprising bosses 4, 5 mounted on the shaft ends and connected together by power transmitting means, each of said bosses comprises two axially separated portions 6, 7 clamped together by bolts 12 and thereby connected to the corresponding shaft end, 1, by way of conical rings 15, 16, the boss portion 6 supporting said power transmitting means and the boss portion 7 providing an additional power transmission path between the shaft 1 and the boss portion 6. In the rigid coupling shown, the thickness of the boss portions 6, 7, 9, 10 is such that they can be individually inserted through the gap 3 between the shaft ends 1, 2 thereby eliminating the need for displacement of the shaft ends during coupling installation or removal. The conical rings 15, 16 preferably have at least one cut to assist fitting. The boss portions 6, 9 are spaced by a ring 21 and connected together by bolts 22. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the poss portions 6, 9 are connected by resilient rubber, or rubberclad steel, pins arranged radially outwardly of the boss portions 7, 10 to permit assembly without shaft displacement. In Fig. 3 (not shown), the boss portions 6, 9 are connected by a cross (33) to form a Hooke's joint. The boss portions 6, 9 have alternating axially extending claws embracing the arms of the cross via intermediate layers (34) comprising e.g., elastic material such as rubber and retained by closure members bolted to the cross arm ends. The layers (34) permit small radial shaft misalignment. In Figs. 6, 7 (not shown) the power transmitting means between the boss portions 6, 9 comprises an annular, parallelly or helically corrugated, flexible, single or multi-walled tube radially clamped either between the boss portions on each shaft end, the boss portion 6 being desirably radially cut into sections and retained together by a spring ring, or between the boss portion 6 and a conical ring further to and contacting the corresponding conical ring 15 and desirably radially cut into sections and retained together by a spring ring. This construction permits axial, radial and angular misalignment.
Abstract:
A disclosed submersible pump apparatus includes a three-dimensional frame, a pump housing, a drive shaft, an impeller, and first and second motors. The impeller is mounted on the driveshaft within the pump housing and is driven by one or both of the motors. The first motor is connected to a first end of the drive shaft and the second motor connected a second end of the drive shaft. The first and second motors are hydraulic motors and in a first configuration, the first and second motors are configured to cooperatively rotate the drive shaft with hydraulic fluid supplied to and removed from the first and second motors using a parallel fluidic connection. In a second configuration, only one of the motors has a drive gear and drives the drive shaft while the second motor does not have a drive gear and acts as a frictionless bearing supporting the drive shaft.
Abstract:
A fixation arrangement for attachment of an interchangeable part to a retaining device includes a generally circular shaft attached to or integrated with either the interchangeable part or the retaining device, and a generally circular mounting hole formed in the other, a rotary preventing device to prevent rotation of the interchangeable part and the retaining device in relation to each other, and an actuator for tightening the interchangeable part and the retaining device towards each other. The fixation arrangement also includes a sleeve having a wall thickness that tapers along a direction of a center axis of the sleeve, such that an outer envelope surface and/or an inner bore of the sleeve is conically shaped in the direction of its center axis, and which has at least one slit, and a conical portion formed on the inner circumference of the mounting hole and/or on the outer circumference of the shaft.
