Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the new 96-page "Handbook of Fairloc components, the integral fastener".
Additional subjects covered in detail include: one and two-step gear trains, planetary gear systems, gear backlash, gear accuracy, gear forces, plus an extensive section on the strength and durability of gears.
The catalogue itself includes over 31,942 off-the-shelf standard metric, commercial and precision quality components including over 4000 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, hardware, linear motion systems, gearheads and speed reducers, right angle drives, brakes and clutches, motors and gearmotors, plus miscellaneous components.
There are over 4800 metric gears offered along with 16,700 metric belt drives plus chains and sprockets in five different materials.
All components in the catalogue adhere to the following parameters: Module 5 gears or finer, 25mm 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.
The "Handbook of metric drive components, Catalog 785" is available free on request.
