Abstract

The present invention relates to a shaft-hub connection having an attachment flange and a clamping element, particularly a clamping ring, attachable thereto, by means of which the shaft end assigned to the attachment flange may be friction-locked to the attachment flange, with an interposed bushing which receives a slip torque. The present invention is based on the object of refining a device of the type initially cited in such a way that the lifetime of the attached components in the drivetrain is increased. This object is achieved according to the present invention in that the bushing is designed in multiple parts in the axial direction.

Claims (38)

1. A shaft-hub connection comprising:

an attachment flange ( 1 ) having a hub-sleeve element that is homogenous therewith, the hub-sleeve element having a radially outermost surface that is conical;

a clamping element ( 6 ) threadably receiving a bolt for drawing said clamping element towards said attachment flange, said clamping element having a conical radially innermost surface in wedging contact with said conical surface of said hub-sleeve element, said wedging contact causing a shaft end assigned to said attachment flange to be connected by frictional connection to said attachment flange; and

a bushing ( 4 ) positioned between said hub-sleeve element and said shaft end to take up a slip torque, said bushing designed in multiple separable parts in its axial direction, wherein said hub-sleeve element is under a clamping effect of said clamping element ( 6 ), and wherein the level of the slip torque which is to be taken by said bushing ( 4 ) can be preset.

2. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said clamping element is a clamping ring ( 6 ).

3. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said bushing ( 4 ) is a bronze bushing.

4. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said bushing ( 4 ) is provided with a sliding film on its inner and the outer sliding surfaces.

5. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said hub-sleeve element is implemented in one piece with said attachment flange ( 1 ) and extends essentially over the length of said bushing ( 4 ).

6. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said clamping element is a clamping ring.

7. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said bushing is a bronze bushing.

8. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said bushing is provided with a sliding film on its inner and the outer sliding surfaces.

9. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 1 ,

wherein said hub-sleeve element extends over the length of said bushing.

10. A shaft-hub connection comprising:

an attachment flange ( 1 );

a clamping element ( 6 ) which is attachable to said attachment flange and by means of which a shaft end ( 2 ) defining an axial direction assigned to said attachment flange is connectable by frictional connection to said attachment flange;

a hub-sleeve element which is implemented in multiple parts, with a first part ( 3 . 1 ) having a conical outer surface region and being implemented in one piece with said attachment flange ( 1 ) and another part ( 3 . 2 ) being assigned as a sleeve-shaped hub core to said shaft end ( 2 ); and

at least two bushings ( 4 ) positioned radially between said first part ( 3 . 1 ) of the hub-sleeve element and said another part ( 3 . 2 ) of the hub-sleeve element to take up a slip torque and the bushings contacting one another in the axial direction;

wherein said first part ( 3 . 1 ) of the hub-sleeve element extends over the length of said at least two bushings ( 4 ), in contact therewith;

wherein said hub-sleeve element is under a clamping effect of said clamping element; and

wherein the level of the slip torque which is to be taken by said bushings can be preset by adjusting a bolt ( 5 ) which connects the attachment flange ( 1 ) with the clamping element ( 6 ).

11. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 10 ,

wherein said clamping element is a clamping ring ( 6 ).

12. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 10 ,

wherein said bushings ( 4 ) are bronze bushings.

13. The shaft-hub connection according to claim 10 ,

wherein each of said bushings ( 4 ) is provided with a sliding film on its inner and outer sliding surfaces.

14. A shaft-hub connection comprising:

an attachment flange having a hub-sleeve element that is implemented in one piece therewith, the hub-sleeve element having a radially outermost surface that is conical;

a clamping element threadably receiving a bolt for drawing said clamping element towards said attachment flange, said clamping element having a conical radially innermost surface in wedging contact with said conical surface of said hub-sleeve element, said wedging contact causing a shaft end assigned to said attachment flange to be connected by frictional connection to said attachment flange; and

a bushing positioned between said hub-sleeve element and said shaft end to take up a slip torque, said bushing designed in multiple separable parts in its axial direction, wherein said hub-sleeve element is under a clamping effect of said clamping element, and wherein the level of the slip torque which is to be taken by said bushing can be preset.
