Fasteners get to grip with hubs
Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the new 96-page "Handbook of Fairloc components, the integral fastener".
It is compact, self-contained and offers a small pulley hub envelope.
The Fairloc system consists of two slots that are machined into the aluminium hub, one orientated radially the other angularly, to create a transverse wedge which remains attached to the solid portion of the hub on one side.
The resultant cantilevered clamping section has a tapped hole to accept a cap screw which passes through a clearance hole in the solid portion of the hub, and into a threaded hole in the transverse wedge section.
As the screw is tightened the cantilevered section clamps the shaft securely.
The screw can be tightened and released repeatedly without marring the shaft or affecting its torque transmitting abilities.
The design offers the best of both worlds - the economy of the overmoulded black glass-fibre-reinforced polycarbonate pulleys plus the positive fastening characteristics of metal-to-metal contact.
The 34 models in the A 6H 25 (inch) Series and the A 6H 25M (metric) Series are available from off-the-shelf stock in double or single flange styles.
They are designed to fit onto shafts that range from 4 to 8mm in diameter.
The number of grooves per pulley ranges from 11 to 50.
