A-LOC
Axial LOCking – Less wear thanks to a highly efficient
method of mounting roll rings free of any tensile stress


Advantages

A cross section of the damage caused by a combination of wear and radial forces just before a roll ring cracks.

A-LOC offers the following advantages compared to conventional locking systems:

Roll rings have a longer tool life

  • Decreased regrinding depth
  • Reduced regrinding frequency
  • No cracks due to lack of extreme radial forces
  • Roll rings need no longer to be cracked due to
    excessive radial tension force
  • No structural changes needed for cost-intensive '
    module parts when converting to A-LOC

Roll modules have a longer service life

  • Axial and radial bearings last longer
  • Contact surfaces around the roll ring assembly are not worn down
  • No secondary damage as the roll rings will no longer crack due to excessive radial tension

Less rejected rolling stock due to

  • offset grooves and extremely rough surfaces on the rolling stock

Cost-intensive existing parts such as roll rings, roller shafts, sliding rings, bearings etc. can be used without changing

  • Damaged parts can, in many cases, be recycled

No need to carry large stock of cost-intensive parts such as roll rings, roller shafts, sliding rings, bearings and centering devices. In addition, it facilitates economic use of resources, cleaning agents etc.

Reduced risk of accidents and improved working conditions

  • as there is no need to remove roll rings by extensive force
  • by using new lighter tools

 

Examples of applications:

Rolling mills, wire drawing processes and anywhere where radial tension sensitive parts need to be mounted.

 
Quality Assurance

All A-LOC are checked for material quality, dimensional accuracy, correct functioning and load-resistance. During order execution, they are subject to continuous quality assurance measures and are supplied together with detailed technical documentation.

 
Services

A-LOC are, of course, ready for installation and use.

SCHAAF A-LOC are user-friendly, reliable, and manufactured in accordance with the highest level of technical know-how. Our highly-motivated staff would be pleased to train your personnel, in mounting and dismantling A-LOC in situ or at our works.
