Frictionally engaged connection between shaft and hub

Flender expands its portfolio in the field of industrial couplings and introduces clamping elements for the connection of shaft and hub. Under the name Fastex, the new series ensures a frictional connection and thus an efficient transmission of torque and power. Shaft-hub connections are found in almost every industrial application. The Fastex clamping elements are heavy-duty, compact and backlash-free and are also characterized by their high serviceability. In addition to the classic connection by means of a key, they offer a further option which, depending on the specification of the application, can provide advantages for the operator.

The fast and effective connection option for shafts and hubs further increases the combination variety and flexibility of the Flender coupling portfolio. Compared to keyway connections, clamping elements have a higher power density and realize a safe and reliable transmission of torques, axial forces and bending moments. As a result, the clamping elements and the components to be connected can be dimensioned more compactly, so that material savings and simpler machining options through the use of non-keyed shafts increase cost-effectiveness.
