Tightness and Leakage in Applying Reinforced Rubber Sleeves to Shafts

Resumo

The influence of radial shaft wobble and misalignment of the sleeve and shaft axes on the onset of leakage in a shaft–sleeve joint is considered. By dimensional analysis, using a multifactorial experiment, a method is developed for determining the minimum functional tightness in the shaft–sleeve joint in terms of leakage onset.
