The Timken ChockLok is a locking ring assembly that retains a bearing to a shaft. It applies a clamp load against the bearing via pressure screws, which apply axial load between a split ring and the retainer. The result? Less manpower and time is required to attach a bearing to its shaft, resulting in savings on labor and general maintenance costs.
