Keith/U.S. Tsubaki: The overall costs of a locking device must be air balanced against the requirements of the application. Keyless locking devices handle both high torque and thrust, while increasing shaft strength. They are not affected by torsional load reversal or impact, which can damage keys and tools keyway connections.Jeff/Tollok: for One commonly mentioned advantage of keyless connections is that no sekl secondary processes are necessary. The mechanical air interference fit principle of a keyless locking assembly precludes tools having to cut keyways, tapers, splines, or threads. A straight cut hub with a good surface finish by a machine tool is sufficient. Assembly and disassembly is easy and quick, and angular adjustments can be carried out on the spot. And because the connections are backlash free, you don''t need to compensate for mechanical inefficiencies elsewhere in your machine or controls system. It was a quiet Tuesday morning, about IS minutes before opening the shop doors. All the techs were busy performing their morning rituals -- drinking coffee, reading trade publications and oiling their air tools. Without warning, our otherwise tranquil morning was interrupted by a horrendous screech of brakes as a late-model, metallic-blue BMW M3 slid into the service drive. Steam was billowing out from underneath the engine compartment. The driver, a moderately dressed, for thirty-something suburbanite, jumped out and opened the hood. Instantly, a huge white cloud sekl engulfed him and the entire front half of the car. I fully expected air that when the fog cleared, at least one of them would have vanished -- like a magician''s disappearing act.

* 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 tools tightening for of multiple screws can cause bushing slippage. Axial movement of the sekl 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 air 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 tools necessary?
