Fairloc(R) Shaft Reducers & Extenders From Sterling Instrument Eliminate the Need for Special Shafting

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
New Shaft adapters from Sterling Instrument (an ISO 9001:2000 +
AS9100B manufacturer) eliminate the need for special shafting. There
are 21 inch and 27 metric size stainless steel adapters, identified as
the S52FCY (-, M) Series, are high precision, with tight tolerances on
bores, shank and bore/shank concentricity. The female end of the
adapter is designed to fit 14 shaft diameters ranging from .1200" to
.4998" (3 mm to 12 mm) and incorporates the Fairloc(R) integral
fastening system. Fairloc(R) is a patented integral hub fastener which
eliminates marred shafts. The choice of Fairloc(R) hubs permits
frequent phase adjustment, timing and position adjustment while adding
positive metal-to-metal fastening strength along both hub sections.

   The Fairloc(R) integral hub fastener consists of two slots that
are machined into the hub, one radially the other angularly, to create
a transverse wedge which remains attached to the solid portion of the
hub on one side. The resultant cantilevered clamping section has a
tapped hole to accept a cap screw which passes through a clearance
hole in the solid portion of the hub, and into a threaded hole in the
transverse wedge section. As the screw is tightened, the cantilevered
section clamps the shaft securely. The screw can be tightened and
released repeatedly without marring the shaft or affecting its
torque-transmitting abilities.

   The male side of the adapter consists of shafts ranging in
diameter from .1247" to .4997" (3 mm to 12 mm). For instance, an
adapter with a female side designed to accommodate a .2405" shaft has
at the other end shafts with diameters of 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", or 3/8".
