RINGFEDER® Locking Assemblies RfN 7012

For highly-stressed shaft-hub connections

The shrink fit is unsurpassable. No other shaft-hub connections

can offer anywhere near the same performance regarding
fatigue strength under alternating torsional stresses. These fits
are nevertheless rare, as they call for involved calculations,
extremely close machining tolerances, cause considerable
trouble when fitting and removing the parts in question, and
give rise to problems during repair work (exchangeability,
adjustments, centering, etc.).

The locking Assembly RINGFEDER Connections is a shrink fit

- a shrink fit of special kind.

CHARACTERISTICS Fig. 1 · Locking Assembly RINGFEDER® RfN 7012

TRANSMISSION OF HIGH PERIPHERAL FORCES Several Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 can be used in series.
The transmissible torques and axial loads are added
(see page 7)

OPTIMUM DEPENDABILITY We guarantee the torque/axial load transmission values as given

in this publication, regardless of whether the connection is sub-
jected to static, dynamic or impact loads. However, the values
given in this catalogue must not be exceeded.

SIMPLIFIED MANUFACTURES Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 can bridge large clearances
between k 11 and h 11 resp. N 11 and H 11 are possible (cf.
Page 7).

EASY EXCHANGEABILITY Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 bridge large clearances and need
no stops or other mechanical devices of this type. In contrast
to all other shafthub connections, close machining tolerances
are unnecessary.

EASY MOUNTING The temperature difference between shaft and hub for shrinkage
fits is eliminated. Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 are tightened
using standard screws and standard tools. Machining or fitting
work is not required.

EASY REMOVAL Release the locking screws, and the Locking Assembly RfN
7012 can be removed. The steep angle of the double tapers
(approx. 28∞) prevents selflocking and ensures that the
Locking Assembly can be released without difficulty.

RINGFEDER® Locking Assemblies RfN 7012

LOW SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CONTAMINATION When the locking screws are tightened down, the contact
(functional) surfaces are pressed firmly together, so preventing
the ingress of dirt and moisture.

UNLIMITED APPLICATION RANGE Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 are most suitable for securing all
types of bosses and hubs on shafts and axles. They efficiently
replace shrink fits, key and polygon connections, splined shafts,
etc. These Locking Assemblies are used for the connection of
gearwheels, chain sprockets, levers, cams, cam plates, belt
pulleys, brake drums, flywheels, couplings and clutches, shaft-
mounted gearings, flanges, rope sheaves, track wheels,
impellers, ship and aircraft propellers, etc. and are giving every
satisfaction in these and countless other applications.

EASY ADJUSTABILITY Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 need no stops. Bosses and hubs
can therefore be located and locked at any point of the shaft.

PERFECT TRUE RUNNING Forming a frictional lock connention, Locking Assemblies RfN
7012 have absolutely no play.

FREEDOM FROM WEAR Having no moving parts, Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 can be
tightened and released as often as required. The locking screws
are standard items and thus readily available.

HIGH FATIGUE STRENGTH UNDER ALTERNA- Neither shaft nor hub have keyways. Thus, notch effect is
TING TORSIONAL STRESSES minimized and a high polar section modulus is at the disposal
of the designer.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION EFFECT When the permissible load is exceeded, Locking Assemblies
RfN 7012 will slip. In this way, they can safeguard valuable
machine components against damage. However, the Locking
Assembly connection is subject to the same laws as all other
frictional lock connections, and is not suitable for use as
slipping clutches.

reference tables.

Locking Assemblies RINGFEDER® RfN 7012 are not selfcente-

these Locking Assemblies is governed by the efficiency of the
shaft centering action is governed by the play between the

The Locking Assembly should be located as symmetrically as
Typical application: possible between shaft and hub bore in order to avoid exces-
sive deformations of the relatively thickwalled thrust rings. If the
shaft is smaller than nominal d, the bore should exceed nomi-
nal D to the same extent and vice versa. The difference between
both deviations of the nominal dimensions should not exceed
IT 9 (with regard to d).

Location of several Locking Assemblies RfN 7012:

If several Locking Assemblies are to be installed the transmis-
sion values of the opposite table can be added in case the
Locking Assemblies are located within a distance of 4  L1.

Change of screw tightening torques:

The Locking Assemblies are generally equipped with screws of
the quality 12.9. If required, the transmission values can be in-
creased by increasing the tightening torques of the screws (for
quality 12.9 see page 10). A reduction of the surface pressures
and the transmission values by diminished tightening of the
screws also is possible. The admissible lower limit results from
the multiplication of theTA-values of the opposite table by 0,6.

There is an approximate linear relationship between TA, T,

Dirty or used Locking Assemblies must be disassembled and

cleaned before fitting. For reassembly the sequence as per fig.

The special marked screws are fitted with washers in order to
protect the auxiliary threads in the front thrust ring. In all other
respects they have the same function as the other screws and
serve only to identify the position of the auxiliary threads.

Fig. 7 If the rear thrust ring is not automatically released, the screws have to be
turned out by a few threads. Light tapping against the screw heads causes the rear
thrust ring to spring backwards.

the smallest relative movements favour and accelerate fretting

altogether. Longterm prevention of fretting corrosion can be
achieved only by designing the connection in such a way that
relative movement is impossible. Locking Assemblies RfN 7012
greatly facilitate the solving of this problem.

pressure resulting from the radial load with respect to the
projected surface of the locking Assembly, is smaller than the
surface pressure generated by the clamping (see also calcula-

Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 are not self-locking. The angel of
the tapered rings is such that releasability is guaranteed even
after prolonged heavy loading. Extractors are not required.

Fig. 51 · The air cushion between shaft and hub/boss has an insulating effect;
consequently, heat transmission is poor. The result is a difference in temperatu-
re between shaft and hub. If both hub and shaft have the same linear expansion
coefficients, the hub undergoes a higher degree of expansion than the shaft; the
diminishing contact pressure reduces the frictional connection value.

Torque Wrenches

For controlled tightening of locking screws of Locking Assem-

blies RINGFEDER®, we offer suitable torque wrenches and
attachments. These tools facilitate the installation of our
Locking Assemblies RfN 7012 particularly on straight through
shafts. They can be used, of course, also for mounting of
Locking Assemblies RINGFEDER® RfN 7013, 7014, 7015 and
Locking Elements RINGFEDER® RfN 8006 and other screwed or
bolted connections.

The rigid square drives SSD and hex bit sockets exhibit compact
over-all dimensions and can be combined with commercially
available axtensions. The SSD-drives fit with all MCCM torque
handles. Square drives and hex bit sockets drives required for
any given Locking Assembly size are listed in following table.

Description and operation

When preset torque is reached, you hear a click and feel the
breakover. No disadvantages are caused by dials and indicators.

Torque setting is achieved by turning the adjustable micrometer

torque habdle. Every setting point is felt by a distinct stop.

Torque setting cannot accidentally change while wrench is in

use. By turning the lock screw located at the end of handle
counter-clockwise (“Lock”), the adjustable handle is locked. By
turning it clockwise (“Unlock”), the handle is unlocked.

Frictionless adjustment mechanism permits high torque

accuracy even after prolonged use.

Slim design and light weight for better accessibility to fasteners

and minimum operator fatigue.

Required attachments slide on easy onto the dovetailed and pin

locked torque handle. For release of attachments, the spring
loaded lock pin can be easily depressed by a pin or screw driver.
