Axle holders DIN 15058

1. Product description

Axle holders according to DIN 15058 serve as essential mechanical machine elements for the precise fixing and positioning of axles or shafts within various machine constructions and types of equipment. Their main function is to prevent slipping and unintentional loosening of axles, shafts, or bolt connections during operation, thus enabling consistent and trouble-free transmission of rotational movements and forces. In combination with bolts, axle holders play an even more critical role by ensuring a firmly defined axle position and thus guaranteeing the integrity of the entire assembly. The axle holder is a rectangular metal strip that is fixed with two fastening screws and engages in a circumferential groove in the bolt. If the bolt is also to be secured against rotation, a tangential groove is milled into the bolt. The use of these components not only increases the precision and efficiency of mechanical processes but also significantly contributes to the longevity of the application. The precise alignment and fixing achieved by DIN 15058 axle holders minimize mechanical wear and improve the reliability of the application.

5. Assembly and Installation

The assembly and installation of axle holders according to DIN 15058 require careful planning and precise execution to ensure optimal functionality and longevity:

Preparation:

• Cleaning: Ensure the mounting surface and all parts are free from dirt, grease, and other contaminants.
• Inspection: Check all parts for damage or deviations from specified dimensions and tolerances.

Positioning:

• Alignment: Position the axle holder exactly according to the specifications and drawings. Correct alignment of the axle holders is crucial for precise fixing.
• Fixing markers: Use markings or positioning aids if necessary to ensure the exact position.

Attachment:

• Screws and Bolts: Use matching screws or bolts according to DIN standards. Tighten them evenly and crosswise to avoid tension.
• Torque: Observe the recommended torques for the fastening elements to ensure a solid and permanent fixation.

Inspection:

• Checking: After assembly, all fasteners should be checked for tightness. Re-checking after a few hours of operation can help detect and tighten loose elements early.
• Measurement Technology: For critical applications, the use of measurement technology to check alignment and fixation can be helpful.

Lubricants:

• Lubrication: If necessary, lubricants should be applied to the designated areas to ensure the mobility of the axles and shafts and to protect against corrosion.

Securement:

• Securing measures: Use retainers like locking washers or locking nuts to prevent unintentional loosening of fasteners.

Regular maintenance:

• Inspections: Conduct regular inspections to ensure the tightness and correct function of the axle holders.
• Adjustments: If necessary, adjustments should be made to ensure optimal performance and safety.

By carefully following these steps, a reliable and durable installation of axle holders according to DIN 15058 can be achieved, contributing to the optimal function and high operational safety of the entire mechanical system.

6. Safety instructions

Preparation and planning: Ensure that all personnel working with the axle holders are adequately trained and familiar with the relevant safety guidelines and manuals.

Tools: Use only appropriate and well-maintained tools. Defective or unsuitable tools can complicate assembly and lead to accidents.

Personal protective equipment: Wear protective gloves to protect your hands from cuts and bruises. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from sparks, dust, and foreign objects.
