TS7Z17\u00d745 Locking Assembly \u2013 17mm Shaft 45mm OD Keyless Rigid Shaft-Hub Connector<\/h1>\n

At 17 mm bore with a 45 mm outer diameter, the TS7Z17\u00d745<\/strong> fills the gap between 16 mm and 18 mm shaft sizes common in European motor standards. The 0.142 kN\u00b7m torque rating matches compact servo-driven conveyor and positioning drives, and the identical outer diameter to the TS7Z15\u00d745 and TS7Z16\u00d745 allows hub designs to be standardised across this three-bore range. For a complete listing of all TS7Z locking assembly models, visit our product catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The TS7Z locking assembly operates on the principle of tapered ring compression: two tapered steel rings \u2014 inner and outer \u2014 are drawn together axially by the clamping screws. The taper geometry converts axial screw preload into a radial clamping force, expanding the inner ring against the shaft surface and contracting the outer ring against the hub bore simultaneously. The resulting surface pressure \u2014 112 MPa for the TS7Z17\u00d745 at the specified M_a of 17 N\u00b7m \u2014 generates a friction connection that transmits both torque (Mt = 0.142 kN\u00b7m) and axial force (Ft = 16.8 kN) without any mechanical interlock element. No keyway is required in either the shaft or the hub bore.<\/p>\n

The elimination of the keyway is the principal engineering advantage of the TS7Z over traditional keyed hub connections. A keyway introduces a stress concentration at its corners that can initiate fatigue cracks under the cyclic torsion loading of a rotating drive \u2014 particularly at high surface hardness or in applications with frequent torque reversals. The TS7Z distributes torque loading uniformly around the full circumference of the shaft bore, eliminating this stress riser and significantly extending the fatigue life of the connected shafts. For high-cycle, high-torque drives \u2014 mills, fans, compressors, and crushers \u2014 this durability improvement is a primary selection rationale.<\/p>\n

Installation and Design Guidance<\/h2>\n

\"TS7Z17\u00d745<\/p>\n

Installation of the TS7Z17\u00d745 requires the shaft surface to be clean, dry, and within an h6 or k6 shaft tolerance, with a surface finish of Ra 0.8\u20131.6 \u03bcm. The hub bore should be machined to H7 tolerance. Clamping screw threads and head bearing faces must be lubricated with MoS\u2082 paste before installation to ensure the M_a = 17 N\u00b7m tightening torque produces the correct clamping force. Tighten all screws in a star pattern in at least three progressive passes \u2014 do not fully tighten one screw before the others.<\/p>\n

To verify shaft material suitability, check: Ps (112 MPa) \u2264 0.9 \u00d7 shaft yield strength. For C45 steel (yield ~370 MPa): 0.9 \u00d7 370 = 333 MPa > 112 MPa \u2014 acceptable. For aluminium alloy 6061-T6 (yield ~275 MPa): 0.9 \u00d7 275 = 247 MPa; compare with 112 MPa for this model. If the shaft material yield strength is insufficient, contact our contact our team<\/a> for a re-rated configuration.<\/p>\n

Keyless Design<\/h3>\n

No keyway in shaft or hub. Eliminates keyway stress concentration and fretting wear. Angular position can be set freely \u2014 no keyway angular constraint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Self-Releasing Disassembly<\/h3>\n

Back off clamping screws in a star pattern \u2014 the taper geometry produces a self-releasing action requiring no extraction tools or heat. Shaft and hub surfaces are undamaged after removal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Uniform Load Distribution<\/h3>\n

Torque is transmitted through friction uniformly around the full shaft circumference, distributing stress evenly and enabling the same torque to be carried at lower peak shaft stress than a keyed connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bidirectional Torque<\/h3>\n

Frictional connection transmits equal torque in both rotational directions. No directional constraint \u2014 suitable for reversing drive applications without additional design consideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Netherlands \u2014 Power Generation<\/p>\n

Specified for turbine-to-generator shaft connections at our 1 MW power station. The locking assembly design eliminates the stress concentration of a keyway, which was a concern for our fatigue life calculations on the shaft. The 0.142 kN\u00b7m rated torque and the published installation procedure allowed us to commission the shaft connections to a traceable standard.<\/p>\n

We use the TS7Z17\u00d745 for propeller shaft to reduction gearbox connections on our patrol vessels. The taper-free locking assembly design simplifies shaft removal during dry-dock maintenance compared to previous tapered hub arrangements. The 17 N\u00b7m installation torque is easily achieved with standard marine tools.<\/p>\n

Turkey \u2014 Automotive Press Line<\/p>\n

Installed in the main press ram drive connections on our automotive transfer press. The TS7Z17\u00d745 handles the cyclic peak torque of the press drive reliably. After 24 months and over 2 million press cycles, we have not had a single locking assembly issue. The shaft surface condition after disassembly at our last scheduled maintenance was excellent.<\/p>\n
