External Shaft Locking Devices (SLD 900)

Lovejoy Shaft Locking Devices connect hubs solidly to shafts, using a keyless mechanical interference fit, to transmit torque or to withstand axial thrust. This mechanical interference fit utilizes screw tension in the Shaft Locking Device, converted into radial pressure via an inclined plane. This pressure expands the Shaft Locking Device to eliminate the gap between the hub and the shaft. The Shaft Locking Device uses the friction bond between the Shaft Locking Device and the shaft/hub to create a zero backlash connection. This connection is easily releasable to remove the mechanical interference fit.

Lovejoy Shaft Locking Devices expand to fill the gap between the shaft and hub, allowing for easy installation and removal, saving time over traditional interference fit techniques. The contact pressures created using a Shaft Locking Device can be greater than traditional interference fit pressures, allowing for more torque to be transmitted or shorter hubs to be used. The easy installation also allows the hub to be positioned more accurately on the shaft, and can facilitate angular timing of the hub.
