Locking Assemblies for Bending Loads

Keyless Locking Assemblies are most suitable for securing all types of bosses and hubs on shafts and axles:

• Traditional methods of shaft-to-hub connection are not satisfactory in many applications, mostly when frequent start-stopping-reversing are involved. Over the time the keyway engagement became less accurate due to mechanical wear. Keyless locking assembly bridge the clearance between the shaft and the hub and distributes the power transmission over the entire surface while with a key connection the transmission is concentrated on a limited area only.
• Keyless locking assembly reduced the machining cost, eliminates all the operations for axial fixing of hub and keyways or splines. This cost benefits become very high for small production batches.
• Reduce the shaft stress by removing keyways or splines
• Due to eliminating keyway notch factor often allows the use of a smaller diameter shaft.
• Great advantages when more hubs are mounted anywhere on single shaft.
• High capacity for both dynamic and static load.
• No preparation or maintenance costs-– no follow-up costs.
• No impact effect from reversing loads.
• Majority of Keyless locking assembly models are self-centering
• Reusable an infinite number of times.
• No screw and threaded bore for axial locking.
• Can handle a variety of loads including Transmission of high torques, bending moment, axial and radial thrusts.
• Ability to adjust axial position and angular timing can be carried out on the spot.
• Simple installation and Easy removal without damaging  the shaft or hub means easier maintenance for your customer – even after years of service
• Eliminates backlash and No fretting corrosion due to fit tolerances & Completely tight fit around shaft
• The high pressure between the contact surfaces and no space between connections so it have Corrosion resistant.
• Keyless locking assembly - shaft - hub tolerances are sufficient for easy mounting and correct positioning.
• Maximum reliability – no matter whether the connection is subjected to static, pulsating, dynamic or intermittent loads.
• The large variety and the possibility of designing in keyless locking assembly we can manufacture customized models and find the best solution for any kind of specifications.

In this way, they can safeguard valuable machine components against damage. However the slip causes fretting of the contact surfaces, so elements should not be used as slip clutch.
