If a hollow tapered shaft and a sleeve is designed to be fitted, by thermally expanding the sleeve and cold shrink fitting the hollow shaft with dry ice, can the item be assembled or dissembled by pressure alone?
I have been told that such assemblies can be disassembled without temperature controls, if enough pressure is applied. (That pressure for a shrink fit is 3 to 5 times greater than a press fit. ) Alternatively, I have also been told to never apply pressure to a shrink fit design without temperature controls, because it can cause galling and cause the assembly to lock up.
Please advise.
