Locking Devices

What are Locking Devices?

Locking Devices are a very important part of industrial machinery, but surely we do not have them as present as we should and you do not know much about them. For this reason we want you to try to know a little more about them and how they can help us.

The Locking Devices are an element of the machine, on which the axes are supported and rotated. It may seem quite simple, although we must bear in mind that Locking Devices can be from a simple piece that is responsible for holding a metal cylinder, to a complex set of various components. The Locking Devices are also known as fixing sleeves, and given their importance, they are one of the most used components when fixing bearings with a conical hole on a cylindrical seat, since one of their characteristics is that they can be used both in flat axes and in stepped axes.

Another important feature of Locking Devices is that they are really easy to install, and do not need any additional fixing. Without a doubt, they are an ideal solution for motion transmission, increasing the resistant section between the axle and the transmission for the engine. We must also mention another of their advantages, and that is that they are able to distribute pressure over the entire surface of the elements to which they are linked.

As for the assembly of the Locking Devices, we must know that by sequentially tightening the screws, what we will achieve is to reinforce the two conical parts, which in turn will cause pressure on the two parts to be linked and will allow us to fix them to the position that suits us best.

Types of Locking Devices

When choosing one type of Locking Devices or another, we must know that there are different types and that each of them will work better than others in different situations.

First of all, we must differentiate between metric Locking Devices and inch Locking Devices . Both are accompanied by a fixing nut and a fixing device. This device, in the smallest sizes, is a washer, while in the larger sizes it is a fixing insurance. It should be noted that inch Locking Devices are usually coated with a solvent-free antioxidant.

We must also highlight the bushings for oil injection, which will allow us to use the oil injection method when assembling and disassembling bearings. In addition, this type of bushings are equipped with oil supply ducts and distribution slots.

Next on the list are bushings for thyroid roller bearings, which are those that have been specifically designed to prevent the fixing device from interfering with the cage. Within this type of bushings, we find bushings with designation suffix E, bushings with designation suffix L and bushings with designation suffix TL.

Finally, we must talk about the bushings for sealed bearings, which are those designed to prevent the fixing device from interfering with the seals of the sealed spherical roller bearings, and with the ball bearings.

Uses of Locking Devices in industry

As we have mentioned before, Locking Devices are key components in a large type of industrial machinery, and are widely used in many sectors in all its variants.

The Locking Devices can be found in any machinery that uses traditional systems such as welding, pins, tapered shafts etc. In addition, we must emphasize that the Locking Devices will provide us with security and transmission of greater torques than other more traditional systems.

Catalog of Locking Devices of Dynamics

Within the extensive catalog of Dynamics, you will find all kinds of Locking Devices , among which are the following options:
