According to the company, all metal construction and a unique center locking feature make the Linear Carriage Lock a durable product that will provide years of dependable service.  The lock centers itself evenly onto the shaft and there is no undue pressure placed on the bearing when locking to the shaft.  When the thumb wheel is tightened, brass inserts contact the shaft from both sides to prevent marring and abrasions.  Most other designs tighten from one side only, putting pressure against the opposite side of the bearing, pulling it against the shaft and possibly damaging the shaft or bearing.
