Abstract

A mounting device can mount a machine element having a bore coaxially on a shaft. The mounting device has a first member having internal threads. Also, included is a split sleeve having external threads adapted to be mounted around the shaft and inside the bore. The threads of the split sleeve have apexes at a uniform diameter when unstressed. The first member is threaded on the external threads of the split sleeve. The mounting device also has a second member spaced from the first member by an amount sufficient to allow the first and second members to embrance the machine element. The threads of the first member and split sleeve are shaped to cause compression of the sleeve as the first and second members embrace the machine element.
