The B-LOC BCH20 Series 1" Compression Hub is an external locking device that provides a way to mount component(s), without the need for a hub, to a 1" diameter shaft. This is accomplished by creating a mechanical interference fit that will transmit 97 ft lb of torque.
Best Suited For: Applications mounting thin components or components made from materials that do not perform well under tensile (hoop) stresses. The most common use is mounting flat chain sprockets to a shaft.
The B-LOC BCH20 Series 1" Compression Hub is an external locking device that provides a way to mount component(s) without the need for a hub. This is accomplished by creating a mechanical interference fit that will never wear out.
Features of Fenner Drives Compression Hubs:
• No Hub Required
• Ability to transmit high torques
• True zero-backlash
• Less equipment downtime
• Ability to mount over existing keyways
• Complete axial and radial adjustability
• Simple installation, adjustment and removal
• Extremely concentric and well-balanced mechanical interference fit
• No axial movement during installation
The basic function of B-LOC Compression Hubs is similar to other Fenner Drives Keyless Locking Devices. Axial force is applied by tightening a series of screws to engage sets of mating tapered rings. The inner tapered rings create radial force on the shaft resulting in a high pressure frictional connection. However, the difference from other keyless locking devices arises in how B-LOC Compression Hubs engage the mounted component.
