Standalone Hydraulic Clamping Connection
15 January 2013
With all the benefits of the ETP hydraulic clamping elements, such as compact design, precision mounting and easy clamping the new ETP- Power product delivers the highest performance in ABSSAC’s single screw ETP product range.
ETP-Power is a reliable, standalone hydraulic clamping connection consisting of a double-walled hardened steel sleeve which is fixed into position with a standard hand key operating pressure screw. As the pressure screw is tightened the specific properties of the pressure medium used within the product uniformly creates a reliable rigid joint between shaft and hub. ETP-Power can easily be disengaged by loosening the pressure screw where the clamping area of the ETP-Power returns to its original dimensions.
Higher load capabilities make the product suitable for use in applications such as packaging machinery, where higher operational loads and finite adjustment of the timing pulleys are required. Importantly, when maintenance of the machine or positional adjustment of the ETP-Power product is required, downtime is significantly reduced as only one screw needs to be loosened or tightened. The radial position of pressure screw on the flange saves space along the shaft and mounting. The flange design has two pre machined location bores which can be used for location pins.
ETP-Power is compact, quick and available as standard for shafts sizes between 15 and 40 mm. Repeated mountings between 200 and 500 times can be achieved depending on the size and the product will maintain a concentricity runout of ≤0,03mm.
