Mechanical clamping sets – The force-fit connection for the most demanding requirements

Mechanical clamping sets are high-precision machine elements used for the backlash-free connection of shafts and hubs. They enable reliable torque transmission without keyways or splined shafts, ideal for modern drive solutions.

Catalogue - mechanical clamping elements

Operating principle

Clamping sets consist of conical inner and outer rings that are moved against each other by tightening screws. This movement generates radial pressure, which creates a friction-locked connection between the shaft and hub – completely without play.

Advantages at a glance

  • Cost-efficient - especially for one-time or infrequent assembly operations
  • Ideal for fixed, permanent connections
  • Absorption of high radial forces
  • Suitable for high temperature ranges 
  • Can also be used with grooved shafts

Typical areas of application

  • Drive technology (e.g., motors, gearboxes)
  • Conveyor systems
  • Packaging and production machines
  • Machine tools

Single screw clamping element

SEL300 & SEL400

The SEL300/SEL400 consists of a single cylindrical ring with a tapered hole cut into it. A special screw with a tapered surface is inserted into the tapered hole. Tightening the screw exerts pressure on the shaft and hub. This pressure enables the transmission of torque. 

Features:

  • Quick and easy assembly and disassembly
  • No axial displacement between hub and shaft when tightening the screws
  • Economical
  • Compact dimensions
