The Step Plate is placed between the puller screw end and the shaft center to control how force enters the shaft. Introducing a stepped contact surface, the plate spreads the applied load over a defined area rather than allowing concentrated point contact. This controlled load introduction limits deformation of the shaft center during high-pressure puller use. The plate maintains centered contact as force increases, supporting stable load transmission throughout the operation.Attributes:• Manages axial force transfer during puller use.• Limits shaft center distortion under high pressure.• Guides force into the shaft without point loading.Applications: The Step Plate is used between the end of a puller screw and a hollow shaft to manage axial force application and limit shaft center distortion during puller operations.
