Position Control Device for Timing Adjustments



"Now it is easy to change the phase relationship of a drive component and the shaft with a Phas-Lok from Zero-Max," said a Zero-Max spokesperson. "Designed to reduce system downtime, these labor-saving devices eliminate the need to disconnect or remove drive components in order to reposition or re-synchronize drive components. They provide an accurate mechanical adjustment with a 24° range (±12°) and compensate for required timing changes in a power transmission system."

When mounted in a system, the Phas-Lok is designed to act as a dependable position control device. It is suitable for fine tuning timing adjustments including adjusting for chain elongation and sprocket tooth wear.

"The Phas-Lok locks tightly and will not slip or loosen during equipment startup and shutdown," said the spokesperson. "Phase adjustment can be made quickly on the machine with accuracy using ordinary hand tools. No system disassembly is needed to make the phasing change."

The Phas-Lok is available in three sizes with bores ranging from 1/2" to 2-1/2". They are also available in metric bore sizes and with a variety of split taper bushings.
