ELPEX-B coupling types
Further application-specific coupling types are available;
dimension sheets for and information on these are available on
request.
The coupling types set up for shaft-hub connections with Taper
clamping bushes are designated as follows:
•
Variant A: Coupling with part 3 – part 3
•
Variant B: Coupling with part 4 – part 4
•
Variant AB: Coupling with part 3 – part 4
In the case of part 3, the Taper clamping bush is screwed in from
the shaft end face side. The coupling half must be fitted before
the machines to be connected are pushed together.
In the case of part 4, the Taper clamping bush is screwed in from
the machine-housing side. If there is insufficient room, the Taper
clamping bushes cannot be fitted from this side. Besides fitting
space for the Taper clamping bush bolts, space for the fitting
tool (offset screwdriver) must be taken into account.
In the case of coupling type EBWT, part 3 and part 4 can be
combined as required. Furthermore, the variant with a Taper
clamping bush can be combined with the finish-drilled hub.
Unfitted coupling
The elastic tire can simply be slipped over the hub parts. The
elastic tire is held firmly in place by fitting the clamping ring. The
connection transmits the torque by frictional engagement.
Fitted elastic tire
Fitted coupling, shown without connecting shafts.
