Liitäntäkaulus

Liitäntäkaulus, a Finnish term, translates to "connection collar" or "coupling collar" in English. It refers to a mechanical component used to join or connect two shafts or other cylindrical components. These collars are often used in machinery and equipment where power transmission or alignment between rotating parts is necessary. The primary function of a liitäntäkaulus is to provide a secure and stable connection, preventing axial or rotational movement between the connected elements.

There are various types of liitäntäkaulus, differing in their design and method of attachment. Some are simple solid collars that slide onto the shafts and are secured with set screws or bolts. Others are split collars, which are designed to be clamped around the shafts, offering a more uniform and secure grip. The choice of liitäntäkaulus depends on the specific application, including the torque requirements, shaft sizes, and environmental conditions. Materials used for liitäntäkaulus vary and can include steel, aluminum, or specialized alloys, chosen based on strength, corrosion resistance, and weight considerations. Regular inspection and maintenance of liitäntäkaulus are important to ensure the reliable operation of the machinery.
