LOCKING ELEMENTS RfN 8006/GSA
Locking Elements consist of internal and an external tapered ring. When axial force is exerted on a set of Locking Elements, radial clamping pressure is generated on the shaft and in the hub bore providing a frictional connection. Upon release of the clamping force, the hub can be adjusted or removed.

Applied for lower torques and smaller shafts. By varying the clamp force, number of locking element sets and clamping arrangements, different design configurations can be achieved.
