【Product Series Overview Sample】Friction-Type Fasteners (ETP & Posilock)

摩擦式締結具(ETP & ポジロック)

The connection between shafts and hubs has traditionally been achieved using keys and keyways. However, this method presents numerous challenges, including the need for high-quality materials, high machining precision, and precise alignment during assembly. The ETP bushing provides a solution to these problems by offering a friction-based connection. The ETP bushing is a product that connects using friction without keys, effectively resolving the drawbacks and difficulties associated with keyed connections.Mechanisms are broadly categorized into two types: hydraulic (oil pressure) and mechanical (wedge). They offer advantages such as simplicity, compact size and light weight, easy attachment and removal, straightforward precise positioning and indexing, and significant reduction in work from design through assembly, adjustment, and maintenance.

Product Q&A

Q

Can resin hubs be used with ETP bushings or Posilock?

A

Not available.

Q

What is the allowable rotational speed for ETP bushings?

A

Safe ETP speed varies by size and hub dimensions, generally up to 3,000 min⁻¹. Contact us for high-speed applications.

Q

Please tell me about the durability of ETP bushings.

A

When the allowable torque is applied cyclically to the ETP bushing, fatigue occurs after approximately 500,000 cycles. When 75% of the allowable torque is applied cyclically, fatigue is virtually permanent.
