Installation Tool Range

Hydraulic Clamp Hub

Alternative method of connecting coupling hubs to machinery shaft ends. Allows higher interference fit than traditional methods for significant increase in torque transmission.

Plug & Ring Gauges

Used to ensure the taper of a hub and shaft have proper contact to allow torque transmission. Once the ring and plug match, they confirm the hub and shaft have the same taper.

Lapping Tools

A set of sacrificial gauges designed to repair light damage or restore the taper to a specific coupling hub or shaft end. Taper contact 95% or greater guaranteed.
