Hydraulic Hub Shaft Connection Simplifies Service And Maintenance
ETP-CLASSIC from Abssac is used in a large variety of applications, for mounting timing belt pulleys, cam curves and arms, etc. Positioning along and around the shaft is easy and fast with high precision. Service and maintenance are also easier because of the easy dismantling.
ETP-CLASSIC is a hydraulic connection which consists of a double-walled hardened steel sleeve, filled with a specially developed pressure medium, sealing ring, piston, pressure flange and cap head clamping screws. ETP-CLASSIC type R is made of stainless steel and has hex head stainless steel clamping screws, facilitating easy cleaning essential within food processing applications.
In operation, when tightening the screws, the sleeve expands uniformly against hub and shaft and creates a rigid joint. When loosening the screws, the sleeve returns to its original measurements and can easily be dismantled. The ETP Classic R has a few more clamping screws, as the tightening torque is lower for stainless steel screws.
Benefits and features of the ETP-CLASSIC include:
Small built-in dimensions
Mounting and dismantling is fast
Fine adjustment of the hub can be made during mounting
Low tightening torque and a small number of screws makes the mounting easy
Good concentricity, also after several mountings
Hex head screws available as accessories
