Extremely large flange connections are generally used in wind turbines. DIAGRIP friction shims are used to transfer the extremely high levels of torque involved. Since the flanges are usually too large to use a single-part disc, segmented discs are used in this application. Our experts can determine optimal segmentation, and above all fixation of the segments on the flanges, alongside the customer, with a focus on secure and convenient installation.

The torques and forces to be transmitted in e-mobility applications continue to grow, even as flange connections become ever smaller. DIAGRIP friction shims and direct coatings are the ideal system for manufacturing frictional connections in this sector.

By selecting the perfect diamond grain size, it is possible to achieve ideal penetration behaviour depending on the roughness and hardness of the flange surface, thereby creating a perfect connection without a joint gap. These connections can be released and closed as many times as needed, without impacting their original functionality.
