Cross Shaft Clamping Elements, by means of frictional forces, provide connection of all types of transmission equipment to their respective shafts, enabling transmission of both torque and axial thrust loads. Precision tapered thrust cones within the clamping elements create high pressure between shaft and hub to securely fasten pulleys, sprockets, gears etc. Stresses in both hub and shaft are similar to heavy press fits, however, the actual stresses are easy to calculate; and the hub can always be easily dismantled without damage to it or the shaft; only a torque wrench being required for both assembly and disassembly.
Precision transmission of torque with no backlash is obtained with shaft clamping elements, without the need of tight manufacturing tolerances of mating components. Simplified designs can enable manufacturing cost reductions, coupled with easy assembly and disassembly.
Cross Shaft Clamping Elements provide an alternative method of connecting hubs to shafts to:-
Tapered Bushes, Hydraulic Clamping Systems, Fine-bored Hubs, with Precision keyways & Locking Setscrews ,Heavy Press Fits & Welded Components.
The following types are available:-
RCK 15 - RCK 13 - RCK 16 - RCK 70 - RCK 71 - RCK 80 - ACE 81 - RCK 61 -
ACE 54 - CCE 55 - RCK 40 - RCK 45 - RCK 11 - RCK 50 - RCK 19 - RCK 95

| Rotation is transmitted through a central disc that slides over the tenons on the hubs under controlled preload conditions to eliminate backlash. Discs and hubs are available in different materials and configurations to suit different applications. These couplings provide generous radial compensation and easy maintenance. |

ETP has, through the development of ETP-OCTOPUS, explored the many positive qualities of their hydraulic hub-shaft connections. The most important features are compact design, quick locking, accurate positioning and good runout. The joint should not damage the contact surfaces and must be easy to dismantle.
ETP-OCTOPUS builds on the same principle, but the pressure setting is done with the help of an external pressure source separate from the clamping joint. This makes the pressure setting extremely fast and makes it possible to pressurize several joints simultaneously and remotely.
ETP-OCTOPUS is available in three models C, O and F. Special types are made on customers request.

The scientist Blaise Pascal formulated the principle of pressure propagation in liquids many years ago:
”A liquid confined in a vessel which is subjected to pressure distributes the pressure uniformly upon the walls of the vessel. ”
ETP has explored the many positive qualities in this principle, developed it further and applied it to the hub-shaft connections.
”A hydraulic pressure medium confined in a double-walled sleeve is pressurized (with screws/pistons or with an external pump). The pressure is distributed evenly along and around hub/shaft. The double-walled sleeve expands uniformly and gives an even contact pressure against shaft and hub ”.
The ETP-Principle works because of the hydraulic system: compact design, fast mounting, easy to position, good runout, does not damage the contact surfaces and is easy to dismantle. These qualities are important today and will be even more important in the future.
With increasing requirements on down sizing the machines, better runout/balance, increased machine speeds, shorter downtime for service and increased precision, is why the ETP hydraulic hub-shaft connections are choosen for more and more designs.

CHARACTERISTICS
1. SIMPLE MANUFACTURE
Large possible tolerances and simple turning treatment guarantee
cost-efficient production.
2. EASY MOUNTING
Only a few screws must be tightened, angle-exact alignment between
hub and shaft is possible in every position, fitting work is not required.
3. EASY REMOVAL
RINGFEDER® Locking Assemblies have releasing threads, thus no
additional auxiliary devices are required. Series 7012 is even self-
releasing (no releasing threads).
4. HIGH FATIGUE STRENGTH UNDER ALTERNATING TORSIONAL STRESSES
Neither shaft nor hub feature grooves, thus no attenuation of the
components. Shaft and hub can be designed definitely smaller (light,
cost- and space-saving construction is possible).
5. NO DANGER OF DEFLECTION
Locking Assemblies RINGFEDER® are absolutely free from backlash.
6. OVERLOAD PROTECTION EFFECT
In case the admissible load is exceeded, the Locking Assemblies will
slip. That way, valuable machine components are safeguarded against
damage. However, the Locking Assemblies are subject to the same
laws as all other frictional locking connections and are not suitable for
use as friction clutch. |

Couplings of type series HK..
are particularly used for incremental and absolute encoders for high requirements to be met concerning precisce angular transmission free from play - torsion rigidity. |
