How to identify KTR BoWex Hubs?
Accurately identifying Bowex FLE-PA hubs is essential for ensuring proper coupling selection and compatibility. While photos really help to recognize, dimensions play a crucial role in identifying the correct hub.
Method 1: Using Description
When a description is available, it often follows a standard format:
KTR BoWex 42 PB-S or KTR BoWex 42 PB-BS, BoWex T80 etc.
Method 2: Having Drawing or Drawing Number
If you can provide a drawing, drawing number, or KTR product number, consult the corresponding documentation or reference materials to determine the hub specifications.
Method 3: Identifying Plain Hubs
For plain hubs without any markings, rely on physical dimensions:
- Outer Teeth Count: Count the number of teeth on the outer circumference of the hub. This helps determine the hub size, similar to the flange’s inner teeth count.
- Inner Teeth Count: Count the number of teeth on the inner circumference of the hub. Some hub teeth may be cut out, so counting the teeth on the shaft, if available, is helpful.
- Shaft Diameter or Inner Hub Diameter: Measure either the shaft diameter or the inner hub diameter to determine the hub size.
- Hub Length: Measure the overall length of the hub to ensure compatibility with the coupling and application.
Method 4: Measuring Bore Diameter:
For hubs without a sleeve, measure the bore diameter to determine the hub size and select the appropriate coupling.
By gathering this information, AWELTA can effectively preselect the appropriate Bowex FLE-PA hub for you. Most likely we have this hub in stock or can get it in several days.
