GripCon
The optimum component connection
Cost reducing – Powerful – Unique



Form fit component connection
which takes up highest axial and radial loads

SCHAAF GripCon mounting cylinder

Positioning ring
for fixation of the Conical Sleeve while the Tapered Bolt is pulled into the Conical Sleeve. Expansion of the Conical Sleeve, gives a press fit and interlocking into the bore is the result.

Connecting bore
e for assembling and dismounting of GripCon

Guaranteed reusability
y when dismounted even after years of use. Again and again.

Pressure distribution grooves on tapered surface
for easy removal and installation even after years of service

An internally Conical Sleeve and Tapered Bolt of high strength steel
for transmitting radial shear forces and high axial forces.

µ ≥ 0,9 friction coefficient
between Conical Sleeve and bore wall.
Advantages
- No nuts for flange connections, thus significant cost reduction
- An approximate 50 % weight reduction
- Lower manufacture investment for significantly less connection elements
- No more thread cutting in stud holes necessary
- No protruding threads or nuts – better design and higher efficiency of rotation machines
- No conventional bolt connection elements
- Significant mounting time reduction because of less connection elements
- Significant less mounting and dismounting space needed
- 100 % form fit and frictional connection anytime after mounting, no slipping of flanges
- Simple and quick installation and removal of GripCon even after years of use
- Reusability after removal again and again – no spare parts necessary

Versions
- Tapered Bolt and Conical Sleeve of high-strength quenched and tempered steel for maximum shear strength and axial load capacity
- Conical Sleeve with friction value maximised outer lateral area
- Pressure connection bore and pressure distribution grooves on the taper for easy removal and mounting of the Tapered Bolt
