| The Hycon connecting coupling consists mainly of a tapered sleeve and a tapered hub. By means of a sealed piston sleeve, a piston space is created which exerts hydraulic axial forces on the hub when pressure is applied. Consequently, the hub is pushed up the taper on the sleeve which results in a radial compression.
In order to release the connection, oil is pumped in between the tapered surfaces until they are separated and the sleeve is moved by the axial forces. |
