Mark/B-LOC: The most challenging applications are those in which components are subjected to continuous shock, vibration, or reversing loads, in these cases, keyless locking devices generate sufficient preload to ensure backlash-free connection.Jeff/KTR: Applications that include large reversing loads provide the greatest challenges.Vic/Rimtec: If the goal is accurate positioning, high-duty cycle, reversing loads are the most difficult, especially if they require high acceleration and deceleration.Jeff/Tollok: The most challenging applications almost always involve extremely high torques or heavy shock loads. Operational environment and other external influences can also be challenging.PitfallsWhat are the most common pitfalls and how can they be prevented?Jeff/Tollok: Selecting AirToooDrills the wrong type of locking assembly is a big issue. Erroneous sizing calculations and improper installation and mounting AirToooDrills are other pitfalls. My advice is to carefully review your application parameters with your locking assembly supplier.
