Our RINGFEDER® Locking Assemblies create high-capacity, completely backlash-free internal force-fit clamping connections for the precise mounting of a wide variety of hub components on shafts and axles. By tightening the clamping screws, the tapered inner and outer rings are axially pressed against each other; the resulting surface pressure creates a secure friction-locked connection between shaft and hub. Keys, wedges or other form-fit elements are not required, allowing the components to remain free of keyways and achieve high fatigue strength under alternating torsional loads. Depending on the series, the locking assemblies transmit torques and axial loads as well as combined radial loads and bending moments. Self-centering versions provide precise concentricity, versions without axial displacement maintain the hub position during installation, while low surface pressures protect thin-walled hubs and materials with low yield strength. Typical applications include gear wheels, running wheels and sprockets, cams, levers, belt and brake pulleys, shaft-mounted gearboxes, couplings and flanges in machinery and plant engineering as well as drive and material handling technology. The extensive standard range for shaft diameters of up to 1,000 millimeters is complemented by customized solutions that enable even exceptional installation, material and performance requirements to be met economically.
