SKF FX Keyless Bushings

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SKF FX Keyless Bushings are innovative components designed to secure gears, couplings, and pulleys to shafts using mechanical friction. This method eliminates the need for traditional keyways, splines, or interference fits, resulting in reduced shaft size, weight, machining costs, and installation time, while enhancing accuracy and reliability. These bushings are available in 16 designs, made from high-quality steel, and adhere to SKF's precision and quality standards.
Traditional Connections
Traditional methods such as interference fits, keyways, and keyed bushing systems have limitations. Interference fits provide zero backlash but require precise machining, while keyways are easy to install but weaken the shaft, necessitating larger components.
SKF FX Keyless Bushings
These bushings offer an interference fit with uniform contact pressure, addressing keyway issues. They facilitate easy mounting of components with cylindrical bores to standard shafts and allow axial and radial adjustments. The concentric locking technology prevents shaft damage and fretting corrosion.
Minimum Hub Diameter Calculation
The calculation involves hub surface pressure, shape factor, and hub material yield strength. An example calculation for a specific bushing model illustrates the process to determine the required hub diameter for full power transmission.
SKF FX Keyless Bushings Models
Various models are listed, each with unique characteristics like torque capacity and self-centering ability. Models such as FX 20, FX 30, FX 40, and FX 50 cater to different applications.

SKF FX Keyless Bushings-3

SKF FX Keyless Bushings Introduction SKF FX Keyless Bushings are designed to secure gears, couplings and pulleys to a shaft using mechanical friction rather than using traditional keyways, splines or an interference fit. In general, the size of a shaft is dependant on a number of factors. If splines or keyways are cut into a shaft, the shaft is weakened and a larger-than-necessary shaft must be specified. If, however, the objective is to reduce shaft size, weight, machining costs and installation time while improving accuracy and reliability, SKF FX Keyless Bushings are an excellent solution....

About SKF FX Keyless Bushings Minimum hub diameter calculation SKF FX Keyless Bushings are designed to create an interference fit with uniform contact pressure on shafts and components that must be fixed to the shaft. The design offers true zero backlash installation and has none of the problems associated with keyways. SKF FX Keyless Bushings make it easy to mount components with a cylindrical (non-tapered) bore to standard, plain shafting and can even be mounted over an existing keyway if necessary. These bushings, which can accommodate wide component tolerances, can considerably reduce machining...
