The locking assembly is used to secure a computing device by locking it. The locking assembly may include a spring 12 attached to a display member and a first magnetic member 14. The spring may be arranged in contact with a wheel 16 that rolls on a base member. When the wheel 16 is in proximity to a second magnetic member, a locking assembly 18 is engaged and locks the wheel.
The locking assembly can be reused numerous times, with the exception of a few screws that may need to be replaced. It is important to check these assemblies for wear and tear and replace them as needed. Moreover, it is essential to avoid putting oversized components. The locking assembly must be made of high-quality materials to resist high-torque applications.
Using the wrong locking assembly can lead to lost productivity. Common mistakes include incorrectly sizing the locking device or the mounting component. Not only does the wrong sizing lead to slippage and lower performance, but it can also cause the machine to stop. To prevent this, use a torque wrench to quickly tighten the locking assembly.
Locking assemblies are a combination of two or more conical clamping elements and a rotary shaft. These are attached to the shaft body and engage the conical surfaces of the clamping sleeve. To lock the assembly, the user tightens a set of clamping screws to pull the conical pressure rings onto the conical surfaces of the clamping ring. This causes friction between the clamping element and the shaft.
Locking assemblies are superior to other external clamping connections in many ways. These components are installed between the shaft and hub. This allows for the highest torque and axial, radial, and bending loads. This makes them a superior choice compared to conventional shrink-fit connections. Additionally, these locking assemblies have superior concentricity and alternating torsion resistance.
The locking assembly 156 may be comprised of a spring 158, a magnetic member 160, a shaft 164, a detention mechanism 48, and a rotary shaft 42 of a motor 30. The rotary shaft 42 has a shaft body 46 and capture portions 48. The shaft also defines a rotation axis 50.
Locking assemblies provide a keyless alternative to keyed couplings. By converting locking screw clamp load into radial contact pressures applied to the shaft and bore of the mounted component, the locking assembly offers high strength keyless connections. These locking assemblies are extremely easy to install and remove. They also feature zero backlash mechanical interference fit, which makes them ideal for applications requiring high torque and thrust. Furthermore, they never wear out.
In operation, the locking assembly may comprise a magnetic member and a spring that engage each other. In addition, a magnetic member may engage the other based on a repulsive force.
