Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Locking Device

Definition
A locking device is a critical component of an end bearing assembly designed to maintain precise positioning of bearing elements. It prevents unwanted axial displacement or rotational slippage of bearing components under operational loads, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution within the assembly. This device typically interfaces with bearing races, shafts, or housings to provide secure mechanical fixation.
Working Principle
The locking device operates by creating mechanical interference or friction between bearing components. Common mechanisms include threaded locking collars that apply axial pressure, set screws that engage with shafts or grooves, or clamping mechanisms that compress bearing elements. When properly tightened, the device generates sufficient holding force to counteract operational forces that might cause movement.
Common Materials
Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel
Technical Parameters
  • Bore diameter that matches the shaft size for proper fitment (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Locking Collar Body
    Main structural component that surrounds the shaft and provides mounting surface for locking elements
    Material: steel
  • Set Screws
    Threaded fasteners that apply pressure against the shaft to create friction lock
    Material: alloy steel
  • Locking Nuts
    Threaded fasteners that secure the locking collar in position through axial compression
    Material: steel
Engineering Reasoning
0-150 MPa clamping pressure, -40°C to 120°C temperature range
Shear stress exceeding 450 MPa yield strength, axial displacement exceeding 0.05 mm
Design Rationale: Plastic deformation due to cyclic loading exceeding material fatigue limit (S-N curve at 10^7 cycles: 300 MPa for steel)
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Thermal expansion mismatch between locking device (CTE: 11.5×10^-6/°C) and shaft (CTE: 12.2×10^-6/°C)
Mode: Loss of interference fit leading to 0.1 mm radial play
Strategy: Differential thermal expansion compensation through tapered sleeve design with 0.02 mm/°C compensation factor
Trigger Vibration-induced fretting at 50-200 Hz resonance frequency
Mode: Surface micro-wear generating 15 μm debris particles
Strategy: Anti-fretting coating application (MoS2, 25 μm thickness) with 0.15 friction coefficient
