Thermally Insulative Bushing Material
Thermally Insulative Bushing Material
(OP)
I want to drive a hot shaft with a hollow shaft gearbox without frying it.
Looking at a material that is thermally insulative but can take the load.
Shaft gets to 160C (I can reduce it if needed) while gearbox max temp is 80C.
Would like to stay away from couplings to keep the width of the assembly to a minimum.
I don't know much about such materials so any clue would be of some help.
Regards

I'm trying to stay away from std couplings to save the space.
It's a conveyor shaft and will be running at max 5 RPM so unlike blower shafts, a heat sling or a cool down procedure won't do it. A heat sink on the shaft could help but if I can get away without it it's even better.
Thank you much guys, it was my first post but I think I'll hang around.
