Design Guidelines

Wall thickness/distances from edge

As the radial expansion of the KOENIG Expander® sleeve occurs, the base material in which it will be anchored plastically deforms. The resultant strength, as well as the hydraulic pressure and temperature service conditions depending on the Expander type and characteristics of the base material, require minimum wall thickness, or distance from edge.

Distance to exterior wall
Wall thicknesse between bores
The guideline values for minimum wall thickness and distance from edge (Wmin.) express these influencing factors. At these minimum values, only slight deformation on the exterior profile of the base material of less than 20 µm is likely. This does not affect the function of the KOENIG Expander®. Below the guideline values (Wmin.) the possibility of overloading the base material exists, which can adversely influence the function of the KOENIG Expander®. In such cases tests must be conducted.

Guideline values Wmin. for wall thickness and distance from edge

For KOENIG Expander® diametersd1 ≥ 4 mm: Wmin. = fmin. ⋅ d1
d1 < 4 mm: Wmin. = fmin. ⋅ d1 + 0.5 mm

Roundness tolerance

To assure reliable functioning of the KOENIG Expander® with regard to pressure performance and to assure leak tight sealing, a roundness tolerance of t = 0.05 mm must be held.

Untitled Document

By using a double lipped twist drill, the called out hole and roundness tolerances are reached. Better tolerances, particularly for larger diameter holes, can be held by using a triple lipped twist drill

Conicity of the bore

Within the effective sealing area of the KOENIG Expander®, the bore must be according to the data sheets. The bore lead in can be beveled up to a depth of 0.25 x d1 (LK: 0.15 x d1) because this area has no significant effect on the sealing function.
