Adding collar (upset) to existing shaft
Adding collar (upset) to existing shaft
(OP)
Looking at putting a collar on a 9" diameter shaft to resist thrust bearing forces, rather than machine from a 12" bar - this would also be used to upgrade old shafts to the new design.
I'm thinking of using a tight interference fit (r6 range) with 3 equally spaced plug welds.
Comments? Anyone done this before? Any better suggestions?
Thanks!

You might just want to add enough stock
to put a taper on the shaft to lock a collar
in position.

Looks like the interference fit w/ loctite might be a good compromise
