Star Discs are flat-bevelled­ rings­ which­ are ­slotted­ on the­ outside­ and ­inside. ­An­ external axial ­­actuating­ force is translated­ by ­the­ Star Disc ­into ­a ­much ­­higher ­radial force.­This ­force creates­ a ­frictional­ connection­ between the Star­ Disc­, shaft and­ hub.

Star discs are generally installed in multiple arrangements as a disc pack. It helps to adjust the transmissible torque to the specific application requirements.

Star Disc shaft hub connections are suitable where frequent clamping and release are required, such as in adjustment devices.
