Kostryka

The KOSTYRKA clamping sleeves are based on the idea of creating a shaft-hub joint actuated by adherence, thus supporting very efficiently the function of modern machine tools. The clamping elements should be able to transmit great forces, to open and to close with lightning speed and be program controlled as well as to have a space-saving overall size.

Hydraulic oil presented itself as the ideal pressure medium. A flexible metallic cylinder should be the load transmission element. Unfortunately a solid metal construction turned out to be too inflexible and a plastic jacket by itself as not resistant enough. Only the combination of a suitable synthetic material and a slitted metal cylinder resulted in the wanted success.

An amazing idea is now standard practice.
