Abstract:
The present invention relates to a safety coupling arrangement (10) comprising a first coupling part (11, that can be adapted for fixed co-action with a shaft, axle or the like that functions to transfer torque and rotary movement to said safety coupling, and a second coupling part (12) which is adapted for fixed co-action with a shaft, axle or the like to transfer torque and rotational movement from the safety coupling, and further comprising a safety unit (13). The safety unit is adapted to take one of two settings, a first setting, in which torque and rotary movement can be transferred between said two coupling parts (11, 12) and a second setting, in which no torque and rotational movement can be transferred between said two coupling parts. The safety unit (13) includes a subpart or a body (13') that can take said first setting as a result of expansion caused by applying pressure to a cavity (13a) in the safety unit and enclosing said pressure in said cavity, and is able to take its second setting by evacuating said pressure from the cavity. The second coupling part (12) includes an axially directed or generally axially directed groove (12a) which is adapted to be able to surround a pressure expandable subpart (13'; 13b, 13b') in said safety unit (13) or said first coupling part (11) and the whole or essentially the whole of said cavity (13a), wherein said expandable subpart (13'), when in its first setting, functions to allow torque to be transferred directly to said first coupling part (11) or said second coupling part (12) via two mutually opposing surface parts (13c, 13d) which are frictionally active against opposing outer parts (12b, 12c) of the axially directed groove (12a).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) pertaining to a compressive or clamp coupling (2) in which two mating sleeves (21, 22) act compressingly against an outer surface (23a) of a shaft (23), wherein the arrangement (1) is adapted to enable a first sleeve (21), an outer sleeve, to be displaced relative to a second sleeve, an inner sleeve (22), for instance when mounting the coupling The outer sleeve (21) has an inner conical surface (21a) and the inner sleeve (22) has an outer mating conical surface (22a) and an inner shaft-adapted cylindrical surface (22b), which is dimensioned to encircle said shaft (23) in the absence of an externally applied force and with a small tolerance, so that said sleeve can be displaced axially. The occurrence of forces acting between the inner cylindrical surface of the first sleeve and the outer cylindrical surface of the shaft caused by said clamping action shall be capable of providing a torque-transferring slip-free clamp coupling (2). At least one channel (26) is adapted to deliver lubricant media or oil under high pressure to and between said mating surfaces (21a, 22a). A first means (A) is active between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve such as to cause the outer sleeve (21) to move axially in relation to the inner sleeve (22) in a first direction (R1) (or in a second opposite direction R2) at least when a lubricant pressure and a film has been established between mutually opposing and mating slide surfaces. According to the invention, the arrangement includes a second means (B), which is adapted to provide a reduction in and/or distribution of occurring end-related and radially active compressive forces on the cylindrical shaft surface (23a) or shaft section (23d) from the end-portion or end-portions of the outer sleeve (21) via an end-portion or end-portions of said inner sleeve (22).

Abstract:
The present invention comprises a safety mechanism (2, 3, 3a, 3b), which is related to and/or integrally formed with a safety coupling (1 ), wherein the safety coupling, with a related safety mechanism (3a) actuatable toward and into an initial active retaining position or toward and into a final inactive releasing position, is adapted, upon rotary motion, to allow for the transmission of torque between a first, driving coupling member (10) and a second, driven coupling member (20) and wherein said actuatable safety mechanism is adapted to be actuatable in a displacement from an initial active position, via a number of intermediate positions, to a final inactive position. The invention provides for the existence of a guided safety mechanism allocated to the safety coupling with means (40, 45), adapted, during a final operating cycle of the safety coupling, to allow the safety mechanism to be displaced in a direction toward and into the initial active position, and from there to again allow a limiting relative movement between the first and the second coupling members, during each subsequent operative cycle.
