Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the new 96-page "Handbook of Fairloc components, the integral fastener".
The 1048-page catalogue itself includes over 21,000 off-the-shelf standardised metric, commercial and precision quality components which include over 2330 new products.
The catalogue is divided into 15 product sections, each with its own photographic and descriptive index.
Major product groups include: gears, belt and chain drives, shafts, shaft accessories, bearings, couplings, universal joints, vibration mounts, miscellaneous components, hardware, gearheads and speed reducers, right angle drives, brakes and clutches, motors and gearmotors, plus proximity switches.
There are over 4500 metric gears offered along with 10,240 metric belt drives in five different materials.
All components in the catalogue adhere to the following parameters: Module 5 gears or finer, 20mm shafts or smaller and 15W devices or less.
Every component is identified using a meaningful alphanumeric coding system which is explained in the catalogue.
Included with the catalogue is a handy printed sheet of peel-off section divider tab labels which can also be customised by the user.
