Eliminating Keyed Connection Failures: The Key to Optimal Equipment Performance with Keyless Locking Devices

Climax Keyless Locking Devices (KLDs) deliver unmatched positional accuracy and repeatability, crucial for high-speed index packaging machinery. By eliminating the risk of keyed connection failures, KLDs ensure optimal equipment performance, leading to reduced waste, increased productivity, and superior product quality.

When there is a need for high production volumes, the most commonly used method is through high-speed index packaging machinery. These machines are capable of performing multiple actions at once, resulting in reduced cycle times. The strenuous demands on packaging machinery, especially the requirement of positional accuracy and repeatability from its drive line components, often cause keyed connections to wear out, become out of sync, and eventually break down.

Climax Keyless Locking Devices are an alternative to keyed connections. KLDs can be used in servo-driven sprocket drive systems to provide zero backlash, without any accumulation of wear or erosion of performance. Maintenance is easy as KLDs are field serviceable and can be removed and reinstalled using simple hand tools.

Climax offers both the OEM and industrial markets a combination of product quality, extensive inventory, design and application acumen, and flexible manufacturing with attractive lead times.

Climax carries an extensive inventory of shaft collars, rigid couplings, and keyless locking devices, with the capability to engineer custom designs to fit any application challenge.
