Hydraulic Shrink Discs

Power-Ace Engineering Co offers Hydraulic Shrink Discs. It is manufactured as per the international standards. It locks the shaft with the hub for further manufacturing activity. These are meant for highly stressed shaft-hub connections. It is very useful where shaft diameters are large, i.e., above 150 mm. It is very difficult and cumbersome and also costly to carry out key-way milling on such large diameter shafts, even if it is done, it is cumbersome to mount the part on such large diameter shafts. It is easily mounted. This disc requires just 5% oil in water emulsion and needs barely 170 -200 bar pressure to loosen/ tighten the bolts. This can be achieved by a good quality hand-pump; hence costly power packs are eliminated. The shaft and hub is separated from each other for repairs, by loosening of bolts. It saves lots of time and energy and it can also be reused. The mounting and dismounting can be done at site. These discs are presently available for 165 mm to 640 mm shaft diameters.
