Pressure rings

Compression rings are usually ring-shaped elements made of high-strength material such as steel. They are designed in such a way that they can generate an even distribution of pressure under load to ensure a secure and stable connection. This design is crucial for the performance and reliability of machine components.

Functional areas of application for pressure rings

Thrust washers are widely used in various areas of mechanical engineering, including fastening shafts to hubs, securing bearings or seals and connecting components in gearboxes and drive systems. They enable efficient power transmission and contribute to the stability and safety of machines.

Material selection and properties

The choice of materials for pressure rings depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as the load, operating temperature and environmental influences. Typically, high-strength steels or special alloys are used to ensure high strength, wear resistance and durability.

Advantages and importance in mechanical engineering

The use of compression rings offers several advantages, including improved safety through stable connections, reduced maintenance due to reliability and increased operational efficiency through precise force transmission. These components therefore play a central role in the design and operation of machinery and equipment in industrial environments.
