* Using the face of a clamp-type collar as a bearing surface in a rotary application. The saw slot can quickly abrade the surface powdr rotating against it.Doug/Zero-Max: Improper tightening tool 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 & and hoist 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 air should ask the following questions:* What are the application requirements of the device?* powdr Is the locking device only used to simplify installation or is adjustment, removal, or maintenance necessary?
