Devin Ware from COC USA explains how to install the CXC CROSSLOC on undersized shafting.
One of his customers encountered this issue, and he wants to share the solution with everyone.
The QR code link pages for the CXC units have been updated accordingly.
We’ve added Take-Up housing sizes from 1-15/16” to 3” for now and will add larger sizes later.
This is feedback from Brazil.
Our CX2SN22-100 units have been running in chain mills for the last two years, while the competitor’s units last only one year.
We have added Type E 4-bolt flange housing sizes ranging from 2-7/16” to 4”. These additions were prompted by many requests from the US and some from other countries. They are slightly larger than standard 4-bolt flange housings, and we modified the design for easier identification.
They were impressed with how straightforward the locking collar was to use and also appreciated the QR code. The maintenance supervisor mentioned that after the fan was restarted, it hadn’t run this smoothly since it was new.
We have added an additional line to the laser marking instructions for the MOUNT on the CXC CLOSSLOC nut, as shown by the red arrow in the picture above.
When the shaft rotates rapidly counterclockwise, CXC CROSSLOC nuts are at increased risk of loosening and pulling the sleeve. For safety, ensure the setscrew is tightened firmly before use. The factory has not tightened it fully to avoid obstructing the shaft during installation.
