Rohloff Lock-Ring Tool – For Splined Carrier L (Art. 8518)

The Rohloff Lock-Ring Tool is a precision accessory designed specifically for the Splined Carrier L (Art. 8540L), which is optimized for use with Gates-Rohloff plug-in pulleys. Unlike other splined carriers (8540 and 8540S) that are tool-free, the Splined Carrier L requires a lock ring to be tightened for secure installation.

This tool allows the lock ring to be properly torqued to 30 Nm using a face pin wrench, hook wrench, or the Rohloff lock-ring tool, ensuring a secure, reliable fit without the need for screw locking agents. The lock ring axially tensions the Gates-Rohloff pulleys, preventing micro-movements caused by toothed belt pretensioning, thereby maintaining precise belt alignment and smooth power transfer.

The Rohloff Lock-Ring Tool is an essential accessory for anyone installing or servicing the Splined Carrier L, guaranteeing accuracy, reliability, and safe operation of your Gates-Rohloff drivetrain setup.
