3.4 Flats on shafts
Fig. 9: Flats on shafts
(1) - Shaft
Some shafts (1) have flat surfaces (2) at the points where components
are screwed on with adjusting screws. These flats increase the stability of
the connection and allow the component to be assembled to the shaft at
an angle.
Important
Always ensure that the screw faces are completely flush with the surface.
If the component to be assembled has several screws all around, while
the shaft only possesses one flat, the first screw should be located in
the shaft's direction of rotation.
