Design and Operating Notes

10.4 TorqLOC

mounting system for gear units with hollow shaft

Description of

TorqLOC

The TorqLOC

hollow shaft mounting system is used for achieving a connection be-

tween customer shaft and the hollow shaft in the gear unit. As a result, the TorqLOC

hollow shaft mounting system is an alternative to the hollow shaft with shrink disc, the

hollow shaft with key and the splined hollow shaft that have been used so far.

The TorqLOC

hollow shaft mounting system consists of the following components:

1. Customer shaft

2. Clamping ring

3. Tapered support bushing

4. Hollow shaft in gear unit

5. Shrink disc

6. Tapered torque bushing

7. Fixed cover

Advantages of

TorqLOC

The TorqLOC

hollow shaft mounting system is characterized by the following

advantages:

• Cost saving because the customer shaft can be made from turned shaft stock or cold

rolled stock without additional machining.

• Cost saving because different customer shaft diameters can be covered by one

hollow shaft diameter and different bushings.

• Simple installation since there is no need to accommodate any shaft connections.

• Simple removal even after many hours of operation because the possibility of contact

corrosion has been eliminated and the tapered connections can easily be released.
