Zusammenfassung: | An arrangement, for increasing an amount of torque transmittable from a power output end 108 of a crankshaft 104 of an engine, includes positioning a flywheel 106 in a spaced-apart relation to the output end 108 and positioning a steel load bearing disk 202 between the crankshaft 104 and the flywheel 106. Opposing sides 206, 208 of the disk 202 abut the output end 108 and the flywheel 106. Aligned holes (210, 214, fig 2) in the disk 202 and the flywheel 106 also align with threaded receptacles 212 in the crankshaft 104. Fasteners 204 positioned in the holes (210, 214) engage with the threaded receptacles 212 thereby fastening the flywheel 106 and disk 202 to the output end 108. The disk 202 has a greater diameter than a gear 110. The holes (214) may be tapered. The fasteners 204 and threaded receptacles 212 have a contact pressure of at least 50 MPa. Also claimed is a method for increasing an amount of torque transmittable the output end 108 of the crankshaft 104. |
