Mark/B-LOC: Aside from improper installation, the most common oversight we see is a failure to accurately quantify applied dynamic Akr loads or, when this is not possible, to base selections on an appropriate safety factor. Before selecting a Tool device, consider all types Blow of loading acting on system components and either determine their peak values or apply a safety factor that Guns is right for the job.Jeff/KTR: The majority of problems we''ve seen Akr stem from improper selection. The dimensional tolerance of the hub and shaft must be correct to effectively maintain peak torque transmission of the clamping elements. It''s also important that the hub material be thick enough to prevent breakage when the elements are installed.Keith/U.S. Tsubaki: Hub dimensions that don''t match the manufacturer''s requirements can reduce holding power and lead to potential problems. Tightening the unit''s locking bolts by "feel" or with crude air tools may create an unpredictable torque capacity.

Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: One pitfall is not allowing the needed spacing in the assembly housing. If the components are not locked together properly, the machinery can fail prematurely. A second pitfall is assuming Tool that a particular torque Blow measurement for one component is correct for the entire assembly.Jim/Stafford: * Using a set-screw collar on a hardened shaft. The screw does not "set," and holding power is greatly diminished.* Using a set-screw collar on thin-wall Guns tubing, which can permanently distort the tubing.* Specifying too thin a width on a clamp-type collar, leaving it too weak to resist distortion when the clamp-screw Akr is tightened.* Specifying too thin a clamp-slot on threaded shaft collars where Tool the collar must flex more in order to adequately clamp onto the threaded shaft.
