Clamping device for a rotatable component of a machine including a balance hole configured to confine a counterweight

摘要

A clamping device for coupling a rotatable component of a machine with a shaft, including a balance hole configured to confine a counterweight. The clamping device includes a circular plate. The circular plate includes at least one fastener hole configured to accept a fastener, and at least one balance hole. The fastener is configured to fasten the clamping device to couple the component with the shaft. The balance hole includes a cavity configured to accept a counterweight. The counterweight is configured to balance the rotational motion of at least the circular plate when the shaft is rotated. Moreover, the cavity is configured to confine the counterweight to an end of the cavity by effects of rotation of the shaft on the counterweight when the shaft is rotated.

1. A clamping device for coupling a rotatable component of a machine with a shaft, including a balance hole configured to confine a counterweight, said clamping device comprising:
a circular plate, said circular plate comprising:
at least one chamfered fastener hole formed on a top plane of said circular plate configured to accept a fastener, said fastener configured to fasten said clamping device to couple said component with said shaft;
at least one round balance hole formed on said top plane of said circular plate comprising:
a round cavity configured to accept a round counterweight, said round counterweight configured to balance the rotational motion of at least said circular plate when said shaft is rotated;wherein said cavity is configured to confine said counterweight to an end of said cavity by effects of rotation of said shaft on said counterweight when said shaft is rotated; at least one said counterweight; and a disk-clamp seal, said disk-clamp seal configured to prevent said counterweight from escaping from said cavity.
