Abstract
Cone-coupling for interconnecting a hub (4) and a shaft (5) and comprising an outer cone sleeve (1) and an inner cone sleeve (2) designed for being clamped together by means of screws (3), whereby at least one of the cone sleeves is brought to move in the radial direction for interconnecting the hub (4) and the shaft (5). The radially moving cone sleeve or cone sleeves (1, 2) are formed with several axial slots (16, 17) extending through the material of the sleeves, and the said sleeve or sleeves (1, 2) are formed with a weakened deformation portion (18, 19) located axially outside the hub (4) to be connected to the shaft (5) and allowing a radial parallel displacement of the slotted sleeve portions (14, 15).
Claims10
A cone coupling for interconnecting two elements, such as a shaft and a hub, which are rotatable relative to one another, comprising:
- an elongate outer cone sleeve having an inner conically tapered surface, having a strengthened base portion adjacent an end thereof, and having a cylindrical sleeve portion having a plurality of elongate axial through slots, each axial through slot extending along the entire sleeve portion from one end thereof to a position adjacent said strengthened base portion;
- An elongate inner cone sleeve having an outer conically tapered surface, having a strengthened base portion adjacent an end thereof and having a cylindrical sleeve portion having a plurality of elongate axial through slots, each axial through slot extending along the entire sleeve portion from one end thereof to a position adjacent said strengthened base portion;
- said inner and outer cone sleeves being adapted to be pulled together for connection together with the inner surface of the outer cone sleeve pressed against the outer surface of the inner cone sleeve;
- said inner and outer cone sleeves each comprising a deformation zone in said cylindrical sleeve portion at a location adjacent said strengthened base portion, each of said deformation zones being constructed and arranged to permit a parallel radial displacement of the slotted sleeve portions of said inner and outer cones relative to their respective strengthened base portions upon press pulling together of the inner and outer cone sleeves.
