Shrink Disc Hollow Shaft Reducers

Installation and Removal Instructions 02 757 41 US

Figure 1. Mounting of Shrink Disc Hollow Shaft Units

The Shrink Disc is a frictional keyless solid shaft to hollow shaft connection
device which exerts an external clamping force on the hollow shaft. The
clamping force establishes a mechanical link between the solid shaft and the
hollow shaft. This type of connection can transmit high torques as well as high
axial loads.

Warning! Always ensure exposed, rotating parts are properly

covered to ensure safety.

: Never tighten the locking bolts before shaft installation, since the
inner ring of the Shrink Disc as well as the hollow shaft can be permanently
deformed, even at low tightening torques. See Pages 2 - 4 for shaft
dimensions, tolerances and recommendations.
1) Remove the protective cover from the reducer’s shrink disc assembly
(see Figure 1).

2) Carefully clean away any lubrication from the hollow shaft bore and the
driven solid shaft (see Figure 1). This step is very important, since lubrication
between the hollow shaft and the solid shaft in the load transmitting area will
greatly affect the torque transmitting capability of the Shrink Disc
connection. A thin coat of lubricant can be applied to the solid shaft opposite
the load carrying end. This will aid in shaft removal.

3) Slip the reducer over the driven solid shaft. Checking the position of
Shrink Disc on the hollow shaft, hand tighten 3 or 4 equally spaced locking
bolts and make sure that the outer collars of Shrink Disc are in a parallel
position. Hand tighten the rest of the locking bolts.

4) Use a torque wrench and equally tighten all the locking bolts one after
another in a clockwise sequence (see Figure 2, the actual number of locking
bolts varies from 6 to 15), by approximately 1/4 turn (even if initially some
bolts require a low tightening torque) until the specified tightening torque TB
is reached (see Page 4).
Note: To compensate for setting of bolts adjacent to a bolt just being torqued, Figure 2. Tightening Sequence
a tightening torque approximately 5% higher than specified is recommended
for the final round.

5) Reset the torque wrench and make sure that no locking bolt will turn at
the specified tightening torque TB.
Note: It is not necessary to check the tightening torque again after installation
is completed or the equipment has been in operation.

Removal is similar to the installation procedure. Gradually loosen the locking

bolts in the order shown in Figure 2.
Table 1. Lubricants for Shrink Disc Collars
Do not remove the locking bolts or the locking collars completely. The Lubricant (Mo S2) Type
locking collar assembly should only be removed if the assembly is rusty or Molykote 321 R (Lube coat) Spray
dirty. If it is to be removed, it must be cleaned and lubricated on the shrink disc Molykote Spray (Powder Spray) Spray
sliding surfaces with one of the lubricants shown in Molykote G Rapid Spray or Paste

Tt = Max torque for the shrink disc connection. The gearbox torque limit may be lower than the shrink disc limit.
2)
Fax = Max axial load for the shrink disc connection. The gearbox axial load limit may be lower than the shrink disc limit.
Note: With combined axial and torque loads the possible torque transmitting capacity is reduced by the following formula:
