Mark/B-LOC: Using keyless locking Air devices in place of keys, splines, and shrink or press fits typically means savings in other areas of machine design, such as smaller shafts and bearings Toll and simplified machining. PT components can be positioned anywhere along a shaft without regard to keyway placement or access for mounting or removal tools. Keyless locking devices require only torque wrench access for installation and adequate hub strength of mounted components.Carl/Ringfeder: The main reasons to use locking devices are to eliminate backlash in a connection, eliminate troublesome assembly or disassembly later on, and to have some adjustment to a connection during the lifetime of the component. Traditional shrink fit and Polishers and Air press fit methods of attaching components to shafts don''t allow for easy adjustment or removal. Some connections will never be loosened; so attaching them with a locking device only makes sense when using it facilitates assembly. Employing keyless locking devices in the design means smaller shaft sizes because Toll the stress concentration factors of keyways is eliminated. Smaller shaft sizes, in turn, mean smaller bearings and other mating components can be employed.

Before I could get out of the Polishers door to lend a hand, the car''s owner emerged from the steam cloud and sprinted for the office. Breathless and clearly shaken, the driver yelled as he came through the door, "Man, you got to help me! I think my Beemer is on fire. There is so much smoke, I can''t even see the engine." "Calm down." I said. "It''s only steam. You have a coolant leak. Why don''t you have a seat and we''ll let it cool down a little before we take a look at it."He seemed comforted by the fact that his car wasn''t going Air to burn to the ground. While the steam cloud was dissipating, I got all the necessary information from him and then went out to push the car into the shop for a detailed inspection.There was coolant all over the engine compartment, so at first, it was hard to pinpoint where the leak was coming Toll from. We began filling the radiator and before it was full, water began to leak out of a hole in the upper radiator hose.
