Locking Elements

Working Principle

Locking Elements connects one or two component parts solidly to the drive shaft, which allow motion to be transmitted or to withstand an axial thrust. Friction connection enables gaps to be eliminated, thereby ensuring greater precision of the keyed components without requiring strict processing tolerances. The thrust cones develop a pressure between the shaft and the hub, which enables pulleys, gears, chain sprockets, drums, flywheels, etc. to be anchored securely. The easy assembly and disassembly features give users many advantages leading to a further cost saving.

Characteristics

  • Transmission of high loads – to increase the transmissible torque and axial forces.
  • Maximum reliability – no matter whether the connection is subjected to static, pulsating, dynamic or intermittent loads.
  • Simple manufacture – shaft and hub are designed without keyway. Apart from this, relatively large tolerances are admissible.
  • Simple manufacture – shaft and hub are designed without keyway. Apart from this, relatively large tolerances are admissible.
  • Backlash-free – no risk of swinging out.
  • Wear and maintenance-free – unlimited lifetime if designed and used correctly.
