Shrink Ring Output
(F, K, KL, KS)
The gear unit hollow sha is connected to
a nished machine drive sha by friconal
engagement through compression of the
shrink ring on the hollow sha. This sha-hub
connecon is totally free of backlash and when
installed properly will also be wear-free. Because
of its self-centering property, it can transmit high
torques and axial thrusts with great accuracy.
Cauon: DO NOT apply radial load to the shrink
ring side.
The hollow sha is manufactured from heat-
treated steel. Dimensions for the machine driving
sha can be found in the servo catalog.
The hollow shas will have a compression slot
on some gearbox sizes depending on the sha
size and unit size. If the hollow sha has a slot at
the shrink ring end, the machine sha must have
a tolerance of ISO h9. If the hollow sha does not
have a slot at the shrink ring end, the machine
sha must have a tolerance of ISO h6.
Assembly
Gear units supplied with a shrink ring are shipped
with the ring installed on the hollow sha end,
ready for assembly. The tapered surfaces and
mounng bolts of the shrink ring are greased at
the factory.
Cauon: The clamping bolts on the shrink ring
must NEVER be ghtened before the unit is
mounted on the machine sha. Tightening these
bolts prematurely will damage the inner ring and
hollow sha during assembly.
Step 1 Prepare hollow bore and machine sha.
• De-grease the machine sha in the pressure
region of the shrink ring.
• Remove closing and covering caps from hollow
sha and shrink ring.
• Clean shrink t and support t areas of the
hollow sha to remove any protecve paint.
Important: Hollow sha bore and machine sha
must be free of grease in the region of the shrink t!
Step 2 Assembly sequence.
Slide the gear unit onto the machine sha and
bring into posion. Do not force the unit or use a
hammer.
The shrink ring must be
located at “fs” dimension
from the end of the sha
on units with a sloed
hollow sha as listed
below in Table 1.
