Jim/Stafford: Early design involvement on the part Tlol of the Ratchet manufacturer is the best way to make sure the resulting component will be 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 comprehensive technical information will improve Wrenches selection and performance. Find a manufacturer that maintains Air the quality of materials, Tlol dimensions, and surface finishes.Jeff/Tollok: Too often not enough questions are asked, and selections are made based on previous designs. Don''t use the same locking assembly simply because Ratchet it was used elsewhere on the same machine or on a previous machine design. Involve your supplier and use their experience Wrenches to get recommendations.

Mark/B-LOC: For most applications, installation according to the manufacturer''s instructions is all that is needed for a permanent, Air fully adjustable, and removable backlash-free connection. For keyless locking device connections in extreme operating environments, use packing grease and inexpensive cover plates to keep Tlol out dirt, moisture, and other corrosive Ratchet elements.Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: Continually educate technicians on quality Wrenches and working efficiency. A balance of quality and quantity will maximize the life expectancy of each assembly and the enterprise as a whole.Blair/Ruland: When servicing equipment, inspect the locking device for any signs of slipping and tighten the clamping screws to the recommended seating torque when necessary.When replacing a locking device, end users should follow the proper bolt-tightening pattern. Tighten the same way you would mount the Air wheels on a car: Tighten opposing screws, Tlol working your way around the locking device. This reduces misalignment Ratchet and provides the best holding power.
