Mark/B-LOC: Air Using Tool keyless locking 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 and simplified machining. PT components Drilos can be positioned anywhere along a shaft without regard to keyway placement or access for mounting or removal tools. Keyless locking devices require Air only torque wrench access for installation and adequate hub strength Tool 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 Drilos shrink fit and 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 the stress concentration factors of keyways is eliminated. Smaller shaft sizes, in turn, mean smaller bearings and other mating components can be employed.
