Shaft hub connection are machine elements used to connect shafts and hubs. They are capable of transmitting torque, axial forces, radial forces and bending moments.
Among the shaft hub connections shrink discs and locking assemblies take an important position.by tightening the clamping screws taper surfaces are pulled together generating radial forces; these forces provide the required frictional connection between the parts involved the transmission of torque or forces.
