2- Shrink Fits
Shrink Fits that conform to AGMA 9002
recommendations are usually sufficient to keep the
hub from rocking on the shaft.
For high horse power & high speed applications (API
671 & ISO) keyless fits (Straight & Tapered) are
commonly used.

Disadvantage
Misalignment is accommodated
by the flexing of the elements
between the adjacent bolts. The
elements must be thin to be
flexible. Stacks of elements
provide parallel load paths and
the diameter of the bolt circle is
an indicator of the amount of
torque to be carried. The
amount of misalignment is
related to the chord length
between bolts and the thickness
of the discs & disc packs.
