Tsubaki Power Lock Inch Series

Technical NotesPRECAUTIONSTsubaki: The solution for shaft locking devices(2) EF Series Hub MovementThe hub will move when connecting a shaft and hubwith an EF POWER-LOCK. This movement is caused bythe deformation of the shaft and hub bore and variesdepending on the hub's inner-to-outer diameter ratio aN.aN= DNDModel NumberD :Inner Hub DiameterDN:Outer Hub DiameterHub Movementincha N=1.5 a N=2 a N=3PL010X013 EF 0.011 0.009 0.007PL011X014 EF 0.011 0.009 0.007PL012X015 EF 0.011 0.009 0.007PL014X018 EF 0.011 0.009 0.007PL015X019 EF 0.011 0.009 0.007PL016X020 EF 0.017 0.013 0.011PL017X021 EF 0.017 0.013 0.011PL018X022 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL019X024 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL020X025 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL022X026 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL024X028 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL025X030 EF 0.019 0.014 0.012PL028X032 EF 0.028 0.021 0.018PL030X035 EF 0.028 0.021 0.018PL032X036 EF 0.024 0.018 0.015PL035X040 EF 0.025 0.018 0.015PL038X044 EF 0.035 0.026 0.022PL040X045 EF 0.028 0.021 0.018PL042X048 EF 0.038 0.028 0.024PL045X052 EF 0.043 0.032 0.027PL048X055 EF 0.043 0.032 0.027PL050X057 EF 0.043 0.032 0.027PL055X062 EF 0.043 0.032 0.027PL060X068 EF 0.039 0.029 0.024PL065X073 EF 0.052 0.038 0.032PL070X079 EF 0.049 0.036 0.031PL075X084 EF 0.061 0.045 0.038PL080X091 EF 0.056 0.041 0.035PL085X096 EF 0.071 0.052 0.044PL090X101 EF 0.071 0.052 0.044PL095X106 EF 0.071 0.052 0.044PL100X114 EF 0.065 0.048 0.041PL110X124 EF 0.065 0.048 0.041PL120X134 EF 0.078 0.058 0.0497. Assembly LubricationA POWER-LOCK's main body and bolts must be lubricatedduring assembly. Some may be concerned that thelubrication may cause POWER-LOCKs to slip, or the bolts toloosen. However, specified tightening torque for the bolts iscalculated provided that the bolts are thoroughly lubricated.Oil is also required for the tapered surfaces to slide smoothly.If the unit is not lubricated, transmissible torque will decreaseapproximately 25% due to a reduction in axial force. Thebolts may also deform and lead to failure. In the case of astainless steel or an electroless nickel-plated model, however,the bolts are coated with a special substance and the mainunit is prepared so that it can be operated in the“dry state”.Do not lubricate these models during assembly.8. Bending MomentPOWER-LOCKs cannot tolerate bending moments.Contact U.S. Tsubaki if a bending moment applies asillustrated below.9. Outdoor UsePOWER-LOCK performance is not affected by moisture orrain due to the tight seal of parts maintained by their highinterfacial contact pressure. However, the exterior surfaceswill begin to rust. The rust will reduce the bolts' tensilestrengths and cause a sudden drop in the general tighteningforce. In order to prevent this, you must use a cover,thoroughly grease the unit and take countermeasures againstcorrosion. If the cover causes any inconvenience, opt forthe anticorrosive stainless steel or electroless nickel-platedmodels. Also, note that although the exterior surfaces of SLPOWER-LOCKs are coated with a special lubricant, it maynot be effective after a certain period of time. It may be wiseto lubricate them after assembly.79More information at www.ustsubaki.com
