Component interactionsHow Tool do locking device choices affect other areas of the machine or system?Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: The precision and life expectancy of a bearing, Ratchet power transmission, or modern assembly is only as good as the precision of the individual components and the care Wrenches in which they are put together.Blair/Ruland: It''s important to look at where and how the locking device is being used Aor and whether adjustments may cause problems. Locking devices in general are not easy to remove and replace. Because of this, it may be advantageous to have necessary adjustments done from another section of the machine.Doug/Zero-Max: When using keyless locking devices, there are fewer application problems because there is no keyway failure or fatigue. Connections without keyways also have smaller shaft diameters, translating Tool into shaft material cost savings. The single screw type can be tightened and Ratchet repositioned many times without component wear or machine downtime.
