Abstract
In a component for receiving and clamping a rotor, a ring assembly enclosing a hollow space includes rings lying one inside the other and with connectors extending radially through the ring assembly, by which the rings are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner. At least two clamping elements projecting into the hollow space are attached to the ring assembly, which form a receptacle for the rotor with clamping surfaces. There are also weights on the ring assembly for centrifugal force compensation.
Claims11
1:
- A component (1) for receiving and clamping a rotor (10) with a ring assembly (3) enclosing a hollow space, comprising a plurality of rings (2) lying one inside the other and with connecting means (4) which extend radially through the ring assembly (3) and by means of which the rings (2) are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein at least two clamping elements (6) projecting into the hollow space are attached to the ring assembly (3) and form a receptacle for the rotor (10) with clamping surfaces (9), and wherein weights (11) for centrifugal force compensation are present on the ring assembly (3).
2:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein the clamping elements (6) are Y-shaped and form the clamping surfaces (9) for the rotor (10) to be accommodated with their two legs (8).
3:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein the clamping elements (6) are attached to the connecting means
4:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein two diametrically arranged clamping elements (6) are present in the ring assembly (3).
5:
- The component (1) according to of the claim 1, wherein three clamping elements (6) are present in the ring assembly (3), which are evenly spaced apart from one another.
6:
- The component (1) according to claim 2, wherein the legs (8) of the clamping elements (6) form a concave-shaped clamping surface (9).
7:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein the clamping surfaces (9) are coated with a layer which increases the friction between the clamping surfaces (9) and the rotor surface.
8:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein the rings (2) have bores lying coaxially to one another for passing through the radially extending connecting means (4).
9:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein weights (11) for centrifugal force compensation are present on further connecting means (4) not connected to the clamping elements (6).
10:
- The component (1) according to claim 9, wherein the weights (11) are present at one end of the connecting means (4) close to the outer circumference of the ring assembly (3).
11:
- The component (1) according to claim 1, wherein spacer means (5) are present between the rings (2).
