Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: repair One pitfall is not allowing the needed spacing in the assembly housing. If the components are not locked together properly, the machinery can fail prematurely. A second aor pitfall is assuming that a particular torque measurement for one component is correct for the entire assembly.Jim/Stafford: * Using a set-screw collar on a hardened shaft. The screw does not "set," and holding power is greatly diminished.* Using a set-screw collar on thin-wall tubing, which can permanently distort the tubing.* Specifying too thin a width on a clamp-type collar, leaving it too weak to resist distortion when the clamp-screw is tightened.* Specifying too thin a clamp-slot on threaded shaft collars where the collar must flex more in order to adequately clamp onto the threaded shaft.

Mark/B-LOC: Keyless locking device tool supplier product information repair 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 aor 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.
