Component Specifications

Definition
The hub/body is the core structural component of a mixing element in industrial mixing equipment, typically mounted on a rotating shaft. It serves as the central connection point that transmits rotational torque from the drive system to the mixing blades or impellers. This component provides structural integrity, maintains blade positioning and alignment, and withstands mechanical stresses from fluid resistance and rotational forces during mixing operations.
Working Principle
The hub/body functions as a torque-transmitting interface between the drive shaft and mixing blades. When the shaft rotates, torque is transferred through the hub to the attached blades, creating fluid movement and mixing action. The design ensures even distribution of mechanical loads and maintains precise blade geometry for optimal mixing efficiency.
Materials
Typically manufactured from stainless steel (AISI 304, 316), carbon steel, or specialized alloys. Surface treatments may include passivation, electropolishing, or coatings for corrosion resistance. Material selection depends on application requirements including chemical compatibility, temperature range, and sanitary standards.
Technical Parameters
  • Mounting Type Keyed, splined, or clamp-style
  • Diameter Range 50-500 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.8 μm or better for sanitary applications
  • Torque Capacity 100-5000 Nm
  • Balance Standard G6.3 per ISO 1940
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11851, ASME BPE
