Keyless Locking Device Training_Level 1
Climax Metal Products Company, established in 1946 and ISO 9001:2008 certified, specializes in keyless locking devices (KLDs) that provide various advantages over traditional locking mechanisms. KLDs utilize internal locking assemblies and external shrink discs to avoid problems associated with keys, splines, and press fits, such as backlash and difficult disassembly. The company offers a wide range of products with immediate availability and strong customer service support.

- 2. Climax Metal ProductsCompany... Who are We? • Established in 1946, Climax Metal Products Company is an ISO 9001:2008 certified manufacturing company • In June 2011 Climax joined forces with MAV S.p.A. in Italy, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of KLDs and related products for over 30 years • Division of RBC Bearings Company Oxford, Connecticut • Located in Mentor, Ohio • Thousands of SKUs in inventory • Custom applications to meet your special needs • Customer Service Representatives and Outside Sales Representatives trained to answer your questions
- 3. What is aKeyless Locking Device? A Keyless Locking Device (KLD) creates a 306° clamping force on the shaft to position components Two Types: 1. Internal Locking Assemblies – Keyless Locking Assemblies – These KLDs reside between the shaft and the hub to create both internal and external connections 2. External Shrink Discs – These KLDs sit outside of the hub compressing it down onto the shaft
- 4. KLDs Provide Advantagesover Traditional Shaft/Hub Connections • Keys/Keyways/Setscrews • Splines • Shrink or Press Fits • QD/Taperlock Bushings • Hex Nut Keyless Bushings
- 5. Keys, Keyways, andSet screws • While inexpensive, keyways are subject to wallowing out over time when subject to reversing and start/stop motion • The erosion of keyways can cause backlash and fretting • In some cases, this fretting can lead to cold welding of the hub to the shaft, or even fracturing of the shaft itself The KLD Advantage: Because KLDs do not require a keyway, these problems are not present when they replace keyways and setscrews
- 6. Splines • Both shaftand drive elements must be machined, which is costly and time consuming • Splines also have backlash and associated problems • Splines cannot be repaired in the field The KLD Advantage: It is simple and quick to replace a KLD because no machining is required
- 7. Shrink or PressFits • These fits require close tolerances and expensive finished • The applications for shrink fits (heat/dry ice) are expensive, cumbersome, and potentially hazardous • Dismounting/reinstallation in the field is difficult and time consuming. The KLD Advantage: KLDs are quick, safe, and easy to install and disassemble with no need for treatment
- 8. QD or TaperlockBushings • Keyways are still required; wallowing occurs which can eventually lead to fretting and backlash • These designs require either a tapered bore in the component or a mating weld-on hub • They are not meant to transmit reverse bending loads The KLD Advantage: Without keyways or a need for a modified bore in the component, KLDs are flexible for any design
- 9. Hex Nut KeylessBushings • It is difficult to apply measured torque to a tightening nut • Hex nut keyless bushings are not self-locking; dynamic loading can loosen the connection The KLD Advantage: KLDs are self-locking and have a number of separate locking screws so measuring torque during installation is simple
- 10. Working Principle ofa Keyless Locking Assembly • Tapered rings work like wedges to convert clamp loads into radial contact pressure – As the screws are tightened, the wedges come together to tighten down on the shaft as well as expand into the hub of the component • When the specified screw tightening the torque is reached, the predetermined load capacity is achieved
- 11. Working Principle ofa Shrink Disc • Tapered rings work like wedges to convert locking screw clamp loads into radial contact pressure – As the screws are tightened, the Shrink Disc provides a 360° locking force down on the component • Radial force squeezes the hub, bridging and applying pressure onto the shaft
- 12. Assembly and Disassembly •Mating components should be machined with a straight-bore – Locking assemblies can be installed over a keyed shaft • Locking assemblies drop in with generous clearance fits and are typically installed with machine oil on all mating components • Shrink Discs demand tighter machining tolerances to limit diametrical clearance and are typically installed with clean and dry shaft/hub interface • By loosing the screws, all KLDs are easily disassembled • All KLDs are shipped with written instructions
