Abstract: The invention relates to a device for e.g. connecting two shafts (1,2). It comprises an inner sleeve (3) surrounding both shafts, and two outer sleeves (4,6) surrounding the inner sleeve and one shaft each. The inner sleeve is deformed radially inwards into contact with the shafts when the outer sleeves are pressed axially away from each other, whereby sliding occurs in their respective contacts with the inner sleeve. In order to provide a device which does not require access to the end surfaces (12,13) and to avoid protruding parts, pressing the sleeves (4,6) away from each other is made by screws (9) arranged in axially directed threaded bores (8) in the end surface of one of the sleeves (6) and contacting the end surface of the other sleeve (4). The screw heads (10) are accessible from radially outside.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for providing a friction joint. It comprises an inner (1,11) and an outer (2,9) element, the inner element having a tapered outer surface co-operating with a complementary tapered inner surface in a bore in the outer element. Means (6,7,8,12) are provided for displacing the elements axially parallel to the taper axes. One element preferably consists of a slitted clamping sleeve, and for diminishing the friction in the tapered contact and simplifying manufacturing of the parts of the device, one of the tapered surfaces is provided with a friction reducing material and one of the tapered surfaces has a groove (3,4,5,13,14,15,16) extending around the circumference.
