Climax Metal Locking Keyless Devices

Providing customers, a seamless car wash ensures that they leave the facility happy and with a clean car. Although the requirement for equipment maintenance may seem daunting and costly, proper maintenance of a car wash is extremely important in providing a positive experience. Many car wash facilities incorporate the use of an underground tunnel conveying system that moves the vehicle through the washing process. Typically, this type of car wash system can reach upwards of a half-million dollars in equipment.
 

Traditionally manufacturers use a keyed connection to mount the chain sprocket to shafting. Shaft/hub connections in the car wash conveying systems are subjected to harsh and strenuous loads which can lead to shaft fatigue failures of keyed connections resulting in extensive downtime and reduced profitability.

Using a Climax Keyless Locking Device provides a 360° contact mechanical interference fit eliminating backlash associated with keyed connections. By eliminating the shaft keyway and associated notch factor, keyless locking devices allow for a shaft that is 30% stronger. For sprockets, the use of a KLD assure no axial movement occurs during installation, eliminates problems associated with shock loading, and resists corrosion due to high contact pressure. Where maintenance is required, Climax KLDs are field serviceable and can be easily removed and reinstalled using simple hand tools, eliminating the need for an expensive and timely maintenance process.
 

Climax carries an extensive inventory of keyless locking devices with the capability to engineer custom designs to fit any application challenge. Climax Metal Products unsurpassed knowledge about KLDs and their application offers the PT market an unparalleled combination of product quality, extensive inventory, design and application acumen, and flexible manufacturing with attractive lead times
