ExpaHub
Economical connection of hubs and shafts, without the need for parallel keys
The SCHAAF ExpaHub can be used anywhere where a flange or a hub with a cylindrical ID has to be mounted on a shaft. Both conical sleeves between the flange or hub and the shaft are pressed together using a hydraulic tool, thereby generating the required radial compressive forces.
Advantages
- Lowering of costs, since the flange has not to be forged on shafts or axles, respectively lowering of material and chipping costs
- High torque transmission, completely free from backlash
- Separate, removable Hydraulic Nut – only one for a number of couplings
- Torsionally and flexurally rigid connection even with sudden changes in the rotational speed, torque, or direction of rotation
- ExpaHub can be removed simply and quickly even after years of use
- Reusability after removal – helps reduce costs
Versions
The standard version of the SCHAAF ExpaHub comprises the following
components:
- Tapered Bolt and Conical Sleeve of high-strength quenched and tempered steel for maximum shear strength and axial load capacity
- Two ultra-high-strength Round Nuts
- Fine thread for maximum fatigue strength
- Pressure connection bore and pressure distribution grooves on the taper for easy removal of the Tapered Bolt
