Shrink Discs RLK 608 new !

A Gripping Experience !!

For over 50 years the name RINGSPANN has stood for the successful application of releasable, form-locking connections of shafts and hubs.

The well known cone clamping elements by RINGSPANN are used as an inner clamping connection in many types of application in the machine industry for fastening gear wheels, chain wheels, belt pulleys, belt conveyor drums etc. Using shrink discs as an outer clamping connection facilitates playfree fastening of hollow shafts to shaft ends.

Once again, RINGSPANN has extended its product range with a modern and particularly economical clamping element:

Shrink Disc RLK 608

This allows for transmission of high torques, thereby providing maximum safety for the user. The greatest advantage of the new shrink disc RLK 608 lies in the speed and ease of mounting. lt is simply a matter of tightening the clamping screws just enough until the screw-side faces of the outer and inner part are in line. This will guarantee the catalogue torque. There is no need for a torque wrench.

Based on up to date production processes and supported by expert advice, RINGSPANN offers technically and economically optimum products and problem solving in all areas of power transmission and clamping technology.

Advantages:

RLK 608: new and simple fastening of hollow shafts and shaft ends
  • improved size/torque ratio
  • quick and simple mounting
  • secure tightening of clamping screws without a torque wrench
  • accurate/ true running after assembly
  • closed design, therefore impervious to dirt
  • Shaft diameters from 30 up to 440 mm
  • Torque range up to 1500 kNm
  • Axial forces up to 8400 kN

Mounting* :

  1. Slide the degreased shaft and degreased bore of the hollow shaft into each other and then slide the shrink disc in unclamped state onto the greased hollow shaft.
  2. Tighten the clamping screws by hand whilst aligning the shrink disc. Tighten the clamping screws one by one in a clockwise (not crosswise) direction in steps of 1/4 revolution  - see installation instructions - until the screw-side faces of the outer ring and the inner ring are in line.

* Hint: These are short term instructions. It is necessary to read and fulfil the instruction which will come with the shrink disc.
