Installation of Mounted Components
Industry: Material Handling
Application: Automotive Assembly Line
Problem:
Transfer wheels were originally mounted by pinning the wheel to the shaft. With the numerous
starts/stops of the assembly line, the hole in the wheel would soon wallow and the wheel would
wobble. Backlash also increased. The pin would also wear and eventually shear. Shafts were
often damaged and need replaced.
Solution: Trantorque GT Keyless Bushings eliminated the wallowing and worn pin connection. The mechanical
shrink fit provides exceptional holding power and resists shock and torque reversals. The unique
single locking nut provides quick and easy assembly and disassembly. The manufacturer did a cost effectiveness
analysis and found that by switching to Trantorque GT, they reduced downtime and improved assembly time, which resulted in approximately a $250,000 savings.
