• Cost Reduction: Eliminates labor cost associated with installing key and separate key, and associated inventory expense.
• Engineered and Tested Design: Integral key concept thoroughly analyzed, including computerized Finite Element Analysis (FEA), for stress evaluation. Extensive laboratory testing included static and dynamic loading on customized machinery. Results demonstrated in successful field applications.
