Component interactionsHow do locking device choices affect tools other areas of the machine or system?Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: The precision and life expectancy of a bearing, power transmission, or modern assembly is only as good as the precision wholesale of aor the individual components and the care in which they are put together.Blair/Ruland: It''s important to look at where and how the locking device is being used and whether adjustments may cause problems. Locking devices in general are not easy to remove and replace. Because of this, it may be advantageous to have necessary adjustments done from another section of the machine.Doug/Zero-Max: When tools using keyless locking devices, there are fewer application problems because there is no keyway failure or fatigue. Connections without keyways also have smaller wholesale shaft diameters, translating into shaft material cost savings. The single screw type can be tightened and repositioned many times aor without component wear or machine downtime.
