Locking Device

overview

In a conveyor system that uses multiple conveyor chains arranged in parallel for transport, Power-Lock has been adopted for the fastening of the shaft and sprocket.

By adopting Power-Lock, it has become easier to adjust the mounting angle of the sprocket without being restricted by the keyway position, and it has become easier to adjust the chain's positional shift due to wear and stretching.


Problem

In double-row conveyors, it is crucial that the positions of the chains and attachments in each row are aligned, as multiple rows of conveyor chains support the conveyed goods. However, over time, wear and stretching caused variations in alignment.

If there are variations in the positioning of the chains and attachments, the timing of contact between the attachments in each row and the conveyed material will be different, making stable conveyance impossible.

Therefore, a configuration that allows for easy adjustment on-site in case of chain misalignment was required.

However, with key fastening, the mounting angle of the sprocket is constrained by the keyway position, making it difficult to fine-tune positional shifts caused by chain stretch.


Adopted products

Locking Device

This is a type of friction fastener that easily, powerfully, and reliably fastens a shaft and boss without backlash.

Because it is fastened by friction using the wedge principle, there is no need to use keys or set screws; the shaft and hub can be fastened simply by tightening the bolt, and removal is also easy.

The lineup includes steel, stainless steel, and coated materials, making it suitable for use in a variety of situations.


Benefits of adopting the product

By adopting Power-Lock, the sprocket can now be adjusted to any angle and fixed to the shaft without being restricted by the keyway position.

This design allows for adjustments to be made on-site, as the sprocket position can be changed simply by loosening the tightening mechanism, even if differences in chain wear and elongation occur during operation, causing the attachment to shift position.
