Shaft with a flange connection

Abstract

The invention relates to a flange connection on a shaft (1) having at least two diameters (d1, d2) of different size, wherein the diameter (d3) of the flange connection is smaller than the diameter (d1) of the rolling bearing seat (2). Machine parts on the shaft can thereby be rapidly and simply interchanged without the flange (3) having to be removed in the process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flange connection on a shaft, which enables quick and simple exchange of machine parts on the shaft, without having to remove the flange. Background technique [0002] Usually a shoulder on a constructional element such as a tube, shaft or housing is called a flange and is used to connect or couple the corresponding constructional element with another element. Flange pieces are typically provided on the flange, the flange pieces surround the component at the connection point of the component, and the flanges are connected to one another by means of the flange pieces by compression. The connection can be made irreversible, for example by welding the flanges, but can also be made reversible, for example by screwing the flanges onto holes provided for this purpose. [0003] In machine construction, flanges are often used to be implemented on shafts, for example in planetary gears between transmission and shaft. A shaft in its ...

However, the disadvantage of the shrink disk is that in order to replace the rollers, the shrink disk must be removed each time and reinstalled after the replacement, which significantly increases the time consumption during the replacement, especially in the case of mechanical shrink disks.
