Product catalog summary
Introduction
RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION specializes in drive technology, offering solutions for power transmission with products like locking devices, damping technology, and couplings known for their reliability and innovation.
Product Overview
Shrink Discs are keyless shaft-hub locking devices that provide a mechanical shrink fit, ensuring excellent rotational stability and concentricity. They are suitable for applications such as cog wheels, sprockets, and pulleys.
Specifications
- Surface finishes for shaft diameter and hub bore should be Ra ≤ 3.2 μm.
- Maximum clearance values are specified for different shaft diameters.
Shrink Disc Series
- RfN 4051: Light Duty for moderate torque transfer.
- RfN 4061: Standard Series for high torque with varying screw tightening torque.
- RfN 4071: Extension of RfN 4061 for larger diameters.
- RfN 4073: Mini Series for light applications with low inertia.
- RfN 4091: Heavy Duty for highest torque applications.
Characteristics
- Easy mounting and removal without special tools.
- High reliability for static, dynamic, and impact loads.
- Low susceptibility to contamination due to tightly pressed contact surfaces.
Installation and Maintenance
Shrink discs are designed for easy installation and removal, allowing hubs to be located and locked at any point or angle on the shaft. Locking screws ensure functional contact surfaces are pressed firmly together, preventing dirt and moisture ingress.
Safety Covers
RINGFEDER® Safety Covers protect against screw heads of rotating shrink discs, made from high-quality synthetic material, offering tear and abrasion resistance.
ISO Tolerances
Tables provide ISO tolerance values for shafts and bores, crucial for ensuring proper fit and function of the shrink discs in mechanical assemblies.
Conclusion
RINGFEDER® Shrink Discs are versatile components designed for high-performance applications, offering ease of use, reliability, and adaptability to various mechanical and environmental conditions. Comprehensive technical data assists engineers in selecting the appropriate shrink disc for their needs.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications for RINGFEDER® Safety Covers are provided, designed to protect against contact with screw heads of rotating shrink discs, suitable for series RINGFEDER® RfN 4061 and RfN 4161.
Safety and Usage
Safety covers provide effective protection and are available in various sizes to accommodate different applications. Selecting the correct size ensures proper function and safety.

RINGFEDER® Shrink Discs Introduction Keyless shaft-hub locking devices have been the cornerstone of the RINGFEDER®. For over 90 years, our product offering of internal clamping and external clamping locking devices and global support has been unparalleled in the industry. Clearances considered for the calculation of the function values dw Surface finishes For shaft diameter dw: Ra ≤ 3,2 μm For hub bore: Ra ≤ 3,2 μm Any other tolerances can be chosen. As long as the stated max. clearance is not exceeded, there will be no variations of the functional characteristics. Characteristics Shrink discs...

Two-part shrink discs by RINGFEDER® are characterised by an extremely flat single cone and transfer the necessary torque in a similar way to a taper interference fit. The screws on the shrink discs can be tightened without using a torque wrench and therefore the discs can be mounted quickly and easily. The transferred torque is thus ensured via route-controlled assembly. Three-part RINGFEDER® shrink discs are characterised by a steep double cone and transfer the required torque in a similar way to a taper interference fit. In contrast to this, however, the RINGFEDER® shrink discs can be simply...

Shrink Discs RINGFEDER® RfN 4051 Further information on RINGFEDER® RfN 4051 on www.ringfeder.com Lighter version for moderate transfer values – particularly suited for thin hubs and hollow shafts Light design – suitable for medium transmissible values when space is limited. The RfN 4051 is a three-part shrink disc and serves to transfer low to moderate torque. The narrow pressure rings require only a very small space. The transferrable torque can be set in a targeted manner for the corresponding application by changing the screw tightening torque. Slit inner ring – low forces and pressures on...
