Abstract

A clamp apparatus for retaining coaxial components on a shaft of a wood fragmenting rotor assembly includes two interconnectable clamp segments having respective recesses that define a receptacle for receiving a rotor assembly shaft when the clamp segments are interconnected and moved toward one another. Clamp camming surfaces extend radially inwardly from at least a portion of each of the respective recesses and engage a shaft camming surface of a rotor assembly shaft as the clamp segments are moved toward one another about the shaft. A closure moves the clamp segments toward each other, bringing the clamp camming surfaces into engagement with shaft camming surface of the rotor assembly and producing a camming action between the clamp camming surfaces and the shaft camming surface that drives the clamp segments axially inward along the shaft, which drives the coaxial rotor assembly components into desired respective axial abutting positions along the shaft.
