Shaft end, A-side
The force transfer is friction-locked (backlash-free), via a clutch, via the cylindrical shaft end A, or optionally as a form-locking connection via a feather key groove according to DIN6885.
Radial force
If the motors drive via pinions or toothed belts, then high radial forces will occur.
Axial force
Axial forces occur when assembling pinions or pulleys on the shaft.
Coupling
Double-coned collets, possibly in association with metal bellows couplings, have proven themselves as excellent, zero backlash coupling elements.
