Catalogue simplifies shaft connections
Fairloc is designed to solve phasing, timing, positioning and frequent removal problems which conventional fastening methods, such as clamps, keyways, pins or set screws, cannot properly handle.
Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the "Handbook of Fairloc Components, The Integral Fastener, D243" 96-page catalogue by Sterling Instrument and Stock Drive Products Fairloc is designed to solve phasing, timing, positioning and frequent removal problems which conventional fastening methods, such as clamps, keyways, pins or set screws, cannot properly handle

Catalogue covers Fairloc shafts and couplings
Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of a new 96-page catalogue.
The system offers built-in overload protection, full use of the bore, easy adjustment and a compact, self-contained design.
The shaft remains smooth and, as the system is self-contained, there is no additional inventory to stock.
The component can be easily adjusted and is fully supported.
Two slots are machined into the hub, one oriented 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 3405 products in the catalogue include inch and metric Fairloc products including hubs, spur gears, timing belt pulleys, couplings, shaft extenders, shaft collars and dials.
Featured in the catalogue are timing belt pulleys which are shown in six pitches from .080in to 5.08 mm.
The hub gears in the catalogue are shown in 120, 96, 80, 72, 64, 48, 32 and 24in diameters.
