GripLoc flange coupling
Shaft and axle connection with integrated flange element
By radial shrinking of a hydraulically pre-extended external body, GripLoc generates a radial stress on the two shaft or axle stubs to be connected. GripLoc is connected to a mating flange by the integrated flange. Integrating the flange into the inner sleeve allows precise alignment of the flange prior to assembly. Creating radial compression does not affect the precision of the flange element and the connecting holes to the mating flange. GripLoc is to be clamped and released rapidly.
GripLoc
Removable two-piece Hydraulic Nut
with saw-tooth profile for quick-clamp connection.
Optimum shaft and axle connection
even in extremely limited space. Maximum torque transfer even when direction is changed abruptly.
Protection cap
Pressure distribution grooves
on tapered surface for easy installation and removal even after years of service – reusability guaranteed.
Radial pressure connection
Inner tapered sleeve
of tough, high tensile strength steel for maximum transfer of force.
Removable SafeLoc
guarantees axial positioning security even when radial pressure is relieved.
Saw-toothed quick clamp profile
for quick mounting of SafeLoc element
Outer sleeve of high tensile steel with tapered inner bore
is mounted without wear by widening with hydraulic pressure.
Advantages of GRIPLOC flange couplings
- Precisely alignable flange already before assembly
- Combinability of the flange connection with SCHAAF ExpaTen Bolts
- Patented GripLoc sliding-on procedures for destruction-free interference fit assembling
- GripLoc can be removed simply and quickly even after years of use – again and again wearless
- High torque transmission, completely free from backlash
- Torsionally and flexurally rigid connection even with sudden changes in the rotational speed, torque, or direction of rotation
- Maximum torque transfer even in minimum installation space thanks to SCHAAF friction increase
- Removability is always ensured if replacement of defective Hydraulic Nut seal is ever required
- Time saving on assembly and disassembly
Individual solutions
The different GripLoc characteristics by SCHAAF can be combined among each other. So for example GripLoc can be built integrated together with the SafeLoc mechanism in a removable Hydraulic Nut. An optimal solution is therefore guaranteed for each application.
Versions
The SCHAAF GripLoc flange coupling consists of the following
components on a standard basis:
- Inner and Outer tapered sleeves made from high tensile strength
steel for maximum strength and durability - Use of corrosion-resistant materials for use in different media
- Combination of GripLoc with a wide variety of mounting tools for optimum design of the assembly process
- Design depending on application with split, removable Hydraulic Nut or permanently installed annular piston.
- Mechanical, axial slide-on by means of torque (MSN) optionally possible
- SafeLoc for safe installation
Areas of Application
SCHAAF GripLoc couplings are the optimum solution wherever high torques (forces) must be transmitted and, at the same time, easy and quick assembly / removal must be ensured. Contact us for optimally dimensioning your shaft and axle connections.
