Mounting Arrangements
2.1.1

illustrates the gap-mounting arrangement.
In this arrangement, the element is attached to a
spider which is typically mounted on the driving
shaft. The drum is attached to a drum hub which is
typically mounted on the driven shaft. The gap
between the two shafts allows the element and
drum to be removed without disturbing either shaft.

Removal sections refer to this type of mounting
arrangement.
