Mark/B-LOC: The most challenging applications are those in which components are subjected to continuous shock, vibration, or reversing loads, in these cases, keyless locking devices generate sufficient tool preload to ensure backlash-free connection.Jeff/KTR: ratings Applications that include large reversing loads provide the greatest challenges.Vic/Rimtec: aor If the goal is accurate positioning, high-duty cycle, reversing loads are the most difficult, especially if they require high acceleration and deceleration.Jeff/Tollok: The most challenging applications almost always involve extremely high torques or heavy shock loads. Operational environment and other external influences can also be challenging.PitfallsWhat are the most common pitfalls and how can they be prevented?Jeff/Tollok: Selecting the wrong type of locking assembly is a big issue. Erroneous sizing calculations and improper installation and mounting are other pitfalls. My advice is to carefully review your application parameters with your locking assembly supplier.

Before I could get out of the door to lend a hand, the car''s owner emerged from the steam cloud and sprinted for the office. Breathless and clearly shaken, the driver yelled as he came through the door, "Man, you got to help me! I think my Beemer is on fire. There is so much smoke, I can''t even see the engine." "Calm down." I said. "It''s only steam. You have a coolant leak. Why don''t you have a seat and we''ll let it cool down a little before we take a look at it."He seemed tool comforted by the fact that his car wasn''t going to burn to the ground. While the steam cloud was dissipating, I got all the necessary information from him and then went out to push the car into the shop for a detailed inspection.There was coolant all over the engine compartment, so at first, it was hard to pinpoint where the leak was coming from. We began filling the radiator and before it was full, water began to leak out of a hole in the upper radiator hose.
