6.5 Shrink disk, mechanical version
6.5.1 Fitting the shrink disk
• Before beginning installation, the hollow shaft and the stub shaft must be carefully cleaned.
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling lubricants and solvents.
Do not allow cleansing agent or solvent to affect surfaces with paint coating.
The bore of the hollow shaft and the stub shaft must be absolutely clean, free of grease
and oil in the area of the shrink disk seat.
This is essential for safe and reliable torque transmission.
Do not use contaminated solvents or dirty cloths nor cleansing agents containing oil
(such as paraffin or terpentine) for removing grease.
