KLDs Provide Productivity Solutions for High Speed Index Packaging Machinery

Packaging MachineryKeyless Locking Devices (KLDs) ensure required positional accuracy and repeatability is achieved from drive line components, and eliminate keyed connection failure.

When high volumes are desired the most common approach is through the use of high speed index packaging machinery. These machines are capable of performing simultaneous actions at multiple stages of the production process, consequently reducing cycle times. The strenuous demands on the machines, especially the requirement of positional accuracy and repeatability from its drive line components, can cause keyed connections to wear out, become out of sync, and break down over time.

Climax Keyless Locking Devices are designed to use in place of keyed (more…)


Shaft Collars Used as Locators in Automated Packaging Systems

Packaging Automated SystemsShaft collars are used on a shaft primarily in 3 general categories: Positioners, Spacers, and Limiters.  Functioning as locators in automated packaging systems, shaft collars position components in place or work as mechanical stops providing axial holding power for automated packaging systems.
