Look hereMark/B-LOC: Using keyless locking devices in place of keys, splines, and shrink or press fits typically means savings in other areas of machine design, such as smaller shafts and bearings and simplified machining. PT components can be positioned anywhere along a shaft without regard to keyway placement or access for mounting or removal tools. Keyless locking devices require only torque wrench access for installation and adequate hub strength of mounted components.Carl/Ringfeder: The main reasons to use locking devices are to eliminate backlash in a connection, eliminate troublesome assembly or disassembly later on, and to have some adjustment to a connection during the lifetime of the component. Traditional shrink fit and press fit methods of attaching components to shafts don''t allow for easy adjustment or removal. Some connections will never be loosened; so attaching them with a locking device only makes sense when using it facilitates assembly. Employing keyless locking devices in the design means smaller shaft sizes because the stress concentration factors of keyways is eliminated. Smaller shaft sizes, in turn, mean smaller bearings and other mating components can be employed. The MorElectric system began lab tests in 2002, and is currently testing in on-highway truck applications. Commercial production is expected in early 2005. Caterpillar expects the system to be used in a variety of trucks as well as off-highway, marine and military applications as well. Ort said Caterpillar is looking for partners for market exposure and field validation testing opportunities beginning this September.The development of the system grew, in part, out of a Dept. of Energy (DOE) program called "Parasitic Energy Loss Reduction and Enabling Technologies for Class 7/8 Trucks." This 42 month, $4.4 million research program started in May 2000 and brought together Cat Electronics, Kenworth Truck, Engineered Machined Products, a major supplier of water pumps to the heavy-duty diesel business, and Emerson Electric. "It was just a strange thing that happened," Ocean View Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin told the News-Journal, "a very, very unfortunate accident." The young carpenter died at the Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md., after being evacuated by helicopter.A nail-gun accident in Mississippi had a happier outcome, reports the Biloxi Sun-Herald. Stone County, Miss., contractor Duncan Hatten was crouching down to nail a 2x4 block onto a column when he lost his balance and fell against the nail gun, which fired two quick nails into his heart. "I just figured I was gonna die," Hatten told local TV station WLOX. "I told my coworker to tell my family that I loved them." But the two framing spikes had narrowly missed major blood vessels, and surgeons were able to remove the nails from Hatten''s heart in a two-hour operation. ©2003 www.band-saws-for-sale.com.
