MAIN SHAFT. OPERATION

ALL LOADS, EXCEPT THE TORQUE, ARE TRANSMITTED TO THE FRAME

THROUGH THE BEARINGS AND THE MOUNT. SUPPORTING THE MAIN SHAFT
ON THE BEARINGS BRINGS GREAT ADVANTAGES, AS IT PREVENTS ANY
LOAD EXCEPT THE TORQUE FROM BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE GEARBOX.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LOW SPEED INPUT ON THE GEARBOX IS

MADE WITH A CONICAL TIGHTENING DISC THAT TRANSMITS THE TORQUE
BY FRICTION (HYDRAULIC COLLAR). THE SYSTEM MAKES MAINTENANCE
EASIER, AS THE GEARBOX CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT HAVING TO
DISMOUNT THE MAIN SHAFT.
