CLAMPEX®
Unlike standard feather keyway connections, KTR Clampex® clamping elements as a shaft-hub connection offer other clamping points, as a result of which components can be decreased in size or reduced, for example. Clear cost savings are possible.
There is potential for savings through:
- lower level of material use due to smaller shaft and hub sizes
- simplified production processes
- simple mounting and dismantling with standard tools
- permanent, destruction-free connections, i.e. no shearing of feather keyways, alignment pins, bolts, etc.
- multiple re-use
Further advantages or potential uses of Clampex® clamping elements:
- Force transmission through friction instead of positive engagement
- ideal for drives with high varying loads, such as when accelerating and braking
- suitable for high-speed drives
- only low-level sensitivity to dirt
- Overload protection of the machine parts through slippage
