Couplings Lock Gears, Discs, and more to Shafts

The big advantage for Ameriloc HLD (Hydraulic Locking Devices) is the short time it takes to install. With larger diameters, 530 mm, the HLD can be tensioned in a few minutes, compared to several hours required for another similar design. The hydraulic pump required for assembly can be a stationary unit, but use of a hydraulic hand pump is also possible for tensioning at difficult-to-reach places, such as the turret of a wind turbine. Torques range to 5,835 kNm. A wide range of possibilities is available with outer diameters up to 1,450 mm, and shaft diameters up to 750 mm. The mechanical locking device is shown.
