Versus Traditional Keyed Connections
1.No Backlash due to fit tolerances
2.No impact effect from reversing loads
3. Ability to adjust axial position and angular timing
4.No fretting corrosion due to movement at the fit interface
Versus Traditional Interference Fits
1.Easier and quicker to install
2.Higher contact pressures can transmit greater torques
3.Easy and quick to remove without damaging the shaft or hub - even after years of service
Design Benefits
1.Eliminate cost of machining keyways or splines
2.Reduce the shaft stress by removing keyways or splines
3.Eliminating keyways often allows the use of a smaller diameter shaft
4.Can place anywhere on shaft, and allows for easy angular timing
5.Easy removal without damaging the shaft or hub means easier maintenance for your customer
