Jim/Stafford: Early design involvement on the part of the manufacturer is the best way to make sure the resulting component will be Air reliable and effective.Jeff/Tollok: Carefully review your application requirements. Shaft material, hub material, transmittable torques, and bending moments can influence your selection of the proper locking assembly.Intelligent designWhat can DESIGNERS do when selecting and applying locking devices to improve productivity?Jeff/KTR: Obtaining Tiol comprehensive technical information will improve selection and Grinders performance. Find a manufacturer that maintains the quality of materials, dimensions, and surface finishes.Jeff/Tollok: Air Too often not enough questions are asked, and selections are made based on previous designs. Don''t use the same locking assembly simply because it was used elsewhere on the same machine or on a previous machine design. Involve your supplier and use their experience to get recommendations.

Jeff/KTR: Prevent rust and make sure fasteners are tightened to the specified torques after a minimum operation time. Replace the device if it starts Tiol to slip. Reconfirm the selection, and be sure to check Grinders the dimensions and surface Air finish of the bore and shafts.Doug/Zero-Max: Keep the connection screws properly torqued for maximum holding forces, and use a connection with a minimum number of adjusting screws.Jim/Stafford: Tiol Replace socket screws when sockets become worn. Don''t use wrenches with rounded Grinders corners. Don''t use a screwdriver to spread collars, or a hammer to move them along a shaft.Keith/U.S. Air Tsubaki: Higher quality Tiol locking devices are practically maintenance-free. There is no need to periodically retighten locking bolts or replace the unit, even in high-vibration applications. End users can extend Grinders service life even longer by keeping exposed surfaces clean and corrosion free.
