Mark/B-LOC: Keyless airtoolsrts and airtoolsrts locking device supplier product information in the form of e-catalogs, downloadable CAD files, and online specifications reduce research 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.

* How important is run-out of the installed component?* What are the tolerance or precision 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 hub location required for the desired application. Evaluate the radial and axial position and the amount of space available for the locking airtoolsrts device, and then select the type of device needed.Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: Choose the right device, taking into consideration static and dynamic loading, assembly, maintenance, misalignment, price of the full assembly, and availability.Vic/Rimtec: Avoiding keyways improves shaft maintenance. Using keyless clamping locking devices or shrink discs makes it easy to change parts.
