6.5.1 Fitting
Cylindrical shrink fits are joined by heating the outer part. The correct joining temperature is calculated by
the manufacturer specifically for the order and is shown on the coupling drawing delivered with the unit.
To avoid premature locking the joining operation must be carried out quickly in a draughtfree area.
Care must be taken to keep transport distances short.
In the case of stepped shaft ends, when the hubs are pulled on, the locking bolts must
be removed from the threaded connections. When the hubs have been pulled on, the
locking screws must be screwed back in.
The surfaces to be joined must be absolutely clean and greasefree.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for handling the solvent.
Take precautions to avoid burns from hot parts.
Wear suitable protective gloves.
