TAS3006/050/080 SCHAEFER compression-expansion ring

SCHAEFER TAS 3006/050/080 Locking Assembly

The SCHAEFER TAS 3006/050/080 is a high-precision mechanical fastener designed to create a rigid, backlash-free frictional connection between a hub and a 50 mm diameter shaft. This system utilizes a double-tapered mechanism: tightening the integrated mounting screws generates radial pressure that securely clamps the ring onto the shaft and expands it into the hub. With its self-centering function, the TAS 3006 model ensures superior concentricity, which is vital for minimizing vibration and run-out in drive systems.

Application

• Mounting Pulleys and Gears: Rapid installation on smooth shafts without the need for stress-inducing keyways.
• Automation and Robotics: Zero-backlash power transmission in systems requiring high dynamics and positioning accuracy.
• Industrial Gearboxes: Connecting output shafts to functional elements of production machinery.
• Pumps and Fans: Stable mounting of impellers on 50 mm drive shafts.
• Drive Retrofitting: Enabling the repair of connections on shafts with damaged or worn-out keyways.

Technical Specification

• Manufacturer: SCHAEFER (Germany)
• Designation: TAS 3006/050/080
• Main Dimensions: 50 mm (ID / d) × 80 mm (OD / D).
• Type: Self-centering Locking Assembly.
• Material: High-grade heat-treated structural steel.

Installation Tip: To ensure full load capacity, screws must be tightened gradually in a crosswise pattern using a torque wrench until the specific Nm torque recommended by SCHAEFER is achieved.

Features and Benefits

• Elimination of Notch Effect: Keyless mounting increases shaft rigidity and fatigue resistance.
• High Rotational Accuracy: The self-centering geometry minimizes radial run-out, protecting bearings from premature failure.
• Infinite Angular Adjustment: Allows for perfect positioning of the hub relative to the shaft before final locking.
• Dynamic Load Resilience: Frictional connection excels under sudden reversals and severe torque shocks.
• Simple Maintenance: Integrated jacking-off threads allow for quick release without damaging the shaft surface.
