Product information Adapter Flanges (AFS / AF-12 / AF-22 / AF-23 series):
Product group
– High transmittable torques with short installation length
– Transmission of dynamic loads
– Transmittable torque: 20 Nm to 426,000 Nm
– Shaft diameter: 11 mm to 1000 mm
– Short assembly time and cost advantage compared to flange couplings
– Easy disassembly
Further information
Adapter flanges/external clamping elements connect disc-shaped attachments such as brake discs, pulleys and belt pulleys securely and without backlash by friction; connection to cardan shafts is also possible. The “AF-12”, “AF-22” and “AF-23” series consist of a conical pressure ring and a conical inner ring, working like a 2-part displacement-controlled shrink disc: tightening the screws pulls the pressure ring axially onto the inner ring, and the tapered surfaces apply radial pressure to the shaft. Push-off threads on the inner rings allow safe, easy disassembly at any time.
Product series
AFS, AF-12, AF-22, AF-23 (available in designs A, AB, C and BC)
Range of application
Marine industry, conveying industry, mixing and process engineering, hydropower engineering; often chosen as a cost-effective, more compact alternative to flange couplings, especially for larger shaft diameters.
