An interference fit connection for a shaft comprises a hub having a conical through opening and a reduction sleeve having a cylindrical through opening for arrangement on the shaft and a conical outer circumference, where the cone angle of the conical outer circumference corresponds to the cone angle of the corresponding conical through opening of the hub. The hub is a two-component part having a first component made of steel and a second component made of fiber-reinforced plastics material. The second component made of fiber-reinforced plastics material is designed as a ring which is arranged on the outer circumference of a sleeve portion of the first component, which sleeve portion surrounds the reduction sleeve, so as to surround this sleeve portion. The fiber-reinforced plastics material has a higher modulus of elasticity than the steel of the first component.

A hub joint assembly for frictionally connecting a shaft to a connector is provided. The hub joint assembly includes a coupling hub including a collar portion and a flange portion. The collar portion includes a bore having an inner surface that is configured to be positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the shaft. The collar portion further includes an outer surface that may be conical. The flange portion extends from the collar portion and is configured to be coupled with the connector. The hub joint assembly further includes a clamp ring including a bore having an inner surface. The inner surface may be conical and configured to mate with the outer surface of the coupling hub. A passage is defined in the clamp ring and extends from an outer surface of the clamp ring to the inner surface of the clamp ring.

A hydraulic coupling device includes an inner sleeve having a tapered outer surface, an outer sleeve having a tapered inner surface mounted on the tapered outer surface of the inner sleeve, a nut screwed onto the inner sleeve and a cylinder formed separately from the outer sleeve and secured to the outer sleeve. At least a portion of the nut extends into the cylinder, and the inner sleeve, the cylinder, the nut and the outer sleeve together delimit a chamber.

A jack assembly and a system for supporting a partially submerged structure. The jack assembly may include a fluid jack including a cylinder and a ram, the cylinder having at least one fluid chamber configured to receive a pressurized fluid to move the ram; and a valve housing removably coupled to the fluid jack for providing fluid communication between the fluid jack and at least one fluid conduit, the valve housing including a link movable from a first position toward a second position, the valve housing being secured to the jack while the link is in the first position, the valve assembly being disconnectable from the jack while the link is in the second position.
