Locking Devices

Power Ace Engg Co offers Locking Devices for the Indian market from TAS-Schafer GmbH, Germany, one of the leading manufacturers of premium quality locking elements. The product quality is certified by EN ISO-9001: 2000 - Germany. These locking devices are made from premium quality alloy steel with efficient manufacturing process and thorough testing and inspection to ensure world-class quality. The company has acquired a patent for hydraulic shrink disc, most ideal for large dia shafts 165 mm onwards. The locking devices eliminate machining of the keyway on shaft and the hub, hammering is not required any more. The locking devices are inserted between shaft and the hub only by tightening of bolts, with this, both gets locked with each other and rotates together. They are a superior solution for mounting, repositioning and removing components, more securely and conveniently on a shaft than with keyways, setscrews and locknuts. In case the shaft and the hub need to be separated from each other for repairs, etc., it can be simply done by loosening of bolts. It saves time and energy, and also can be reused. This is difficult with the age-old keyway system; it requires lot of physical effort (like hammering, etc), and time to separate the shaft and the hub. The locking devices avoids backlash that is sometimes encountered with keyed connections. They allow generous tolerances on shafts and hubs. Features and benefits: superior performance against reversing; dynamic and impact loading; ease of installation, assembly and disassembly; capable of transmitting high torques and axial loads; precise positioning and adjustments; and a wide variety of sizes and styles. Applications: shaft mounted gear units, crane wheels, conveyor pulleys, mixer shafts, pump impellers, bucket wheels, wind mill propellers, drum connections for belt conveyors, sprockets, ship and aircraft propellers, turbine rotors, cold forming presses, etc.
