Hub Installation
Step #1
Slide hub and collar onto the axle.
Install the key into the axle slot
(key must be at least 1-1/4" long).
Be sure the interlocking sides of
the hub and collar are facing each
other.
Note: The hub assembly may be installed
onto the axle in either direction.
Step #2
Slide the hub over the key so that
the key is flush on the flat side
of the hub (side with engraving)
and protruding on the collar side.
Step #3
Index the collar so that it will
interlock onto the hub. Be
sure to align the key relief in
the collar with the key.
In the photo below you can also
see that the key is flush with this
side of the hub.
Step #4
Slide the collar over the hub. At
this point the key must be flush
or protruding from the collar.
Step #5
Rotate the collar 90 degrees so
that the setscrew will tighten down
onto the key.
Add a small amount of 242 Loctite
(or similar threadlocker) to the
setscrew threads.
As you tighten the setscrew be sure
that the collar stays straight and
even on the axle and does not cock.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
Yes it has to be tight but you don't
have to kill it.
Below is a
photo of an installed unit.
The collar is positively locked
onto the key with the setscrew and
the hub is interlocked in the collar.
The hub will now float and oscillate
freely within the collar.
