What Aor applications present the biggest challenge in terms of machine Tool productivity?Carl/Ringfeder: Industrial applications, such as highly corrosive environments requiring special stainless steels, are the biggest Drills challenges. Applications in which a locking device is dimensionally too large to fit into a component, or in which the torque requirements are beyond the capability of any device on the market, can also present a challenge.Blair/Ruland: The bolt pattern on locking devices can bring many challenges. Because of the time required to loosen and tighten the bolts, locking devices are not well suited for applications that require regular adjustments. Confined areas Aor can also pose problems because of limited access to the bolt heads. Another challenge for locking devices is equipment with extended length shafts, which can be difficult to service because of the disassembly required, especially if the shaft is supported at both ends.

* How important is run-out of the installed component?* What are the tolerance or precision Tool requirements of the specific industry you are in?Keith/U.S. Tsubaki: Proper selection requires more than calculating the required torque. Centering requirements, ease of installation, and the forces the unit applies to the shaft and hub also apply.Jeff/KTR: Precisely determine the Drills hub location required for the desired application. Evaluate the radial and axial position and the amount of space available for the locking device, and then select the type of device needed.Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: Choose the right Aor device, taking into consideration static and dynamic Tool loading, assembly, maintenance, Drills misalignment, price of the full assembly, and availability.Vic/Rimtec: Avoiding Aor keyways improves shaft maintenance. Using keyless clamping locking devices or shrink discs makes it easy to change parts.
