Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the new 96-page "Handbook of Fairloc components, the integral fastener".
Servomotors, stepper motors and gearmotors in sizes 17, 23, 34 and 42 along with optical rotary encoders, are also shown.
In addition, designers can select from Bu-Ord sizes 8, 11, 15 and 18 gearheads and speed reducers.
The catalogue shows technical specifications for sizes 17, NEMA sizes 23, 34 and 42 and size 56 planetary gearheads which are offered in 13 gear ratios between 3:1 to 100:1.
Using stainless steel housings and case hardened gears, these precision assemblies feature true planetary gear design with ultra-low backlash of 6 and 10min, respectively, for the single- and double-stage units.
The maximum rated continuous torque ranges for these rugged units are between 130 and 10,775lbin.
Their maximum momentary torque ranges between 200 and 13,475lbin.
Their radial and axial shaft loading ranges are 57 to 2100 and 55 to 2100lb, respectively.
Shaft diameters range from 0.500 to 1.500in; and all units include a precision balanced clamp-on pinion.
A woodruff key and mounting screws are also included.
