Shrink ring for disk clamping

A disk file data disk stack (8) assembly is clamped using a preloaded heat shrink ring (30) that has an interference fit with the assembly hub (7). In addition to an inner diameter slightly smaller than the cooperating hub surface, the shrink ring has a full or extended outer cylindrical surface and...

Zusammenfassung:A disk file data disk stack (8) assembly is clamped using a preloaded heat shrink ring (30) that has an interference fit with the assembly hub (7). In addition to an inner diameter slightly smaller than the cooperating hub surface, the shrink ring has a full or extended outer cylindrical surface and a reduced area inner cylindrical surface and a reduced area axial end surface to permit effective heat transfer to the ring with minimal conductive heat transfer to the hub and clamping element to enable a differential temperature for effecting shrink ring removal when required.
