Jim/Stafford: Early design involvement on the part of the manufacturer is the best way to make sure the resulting component will be reliable and effective.Jeff/Tollok: Carefully review your application requirements. Shaft material, hub material, transmittable torques, and bending moments can influence your selection of the proper locking assembly.Intelligent designWhat can DESIGNERS do when selecting and applying locking devices to improve productivity?Jeff/KTR: Obtaining comprehensive technical information will improve selection and performance. Find a manufacturer that maintains the quality of materials, dimensions, and surface finishes.Jeff/Tollok: Too often not enough questions are asked, and selections are made based on previous designs. Don''t use the same locking assembly simply because it was used elsewhere on the same machine or on a previous machine design. Involve your supplier and use their experience to get recommendations.
