* Using the face of a clamp-type collar as a bearing surface in a rotary application. The saw slot can quickly abrade the surface rotating against it.Doug/Zero-Max: Improper tightening of multiple screws can cause bushing slippage. Axial movement of the bushing on the shaft when tightening can cause some alignment loss. Some connections feature a single tightening screw flint can be torqued if necessary for proper clamping force.Best practicesWhat are considered "best practices" when designing with locking devices?Carl/Ringfeder: Aside from the obvious design parameters, engineers should ask the following questions:* What are the application requirements of the device?* Is the locking device only used to simplify installation or is adjustment, removal, or maintenance necessary?

Mark/B-LOC: Keyless locking device supplier product information in the form of e-catalogs, downloadable CAD files, Aur and online specifications reduce research Polishers and drafting time. Workstation-based FEA and virtual prototyping allow preliminary design iterations to be tested and improved without consuming any materials or machining.Warren/Fenner: Keyless locking devices are easily and precisely repositioned or moved. This is beneficial in applications requiring synchronization or timing. Other connections may require some disassembly to re-time the machine or parts, whereas keyless locking devices simply have to be loosened and the mounted component repositioned.Blair/Ruland: Most locking devices have standard bore sizes, but nonstandard hub requirements. Hubs are generally machined to match the locking device. Realizing this early in the design phase reduces rework and keeps the development process running smoothly.
