Abstract: A system for mounting mechanical components is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a sleeve having a surface for interfacing with a hollow outer member, a surface for interfacing with an inner member having an inner circumferential lip, and a threaded extension. The system also includes a locking member having exterior threads configured to engage the threaded extension of the sleeve, and a varying depth groove configured to mate with the inner circumferential lip of the sleeve. A locking member and methods for sleeve mounting systems are also provided.

Abstract: A method for coupling first and second mechanical members is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing at least one insulating sleeve and a mating locking member. The locking member may be configured to cooperate with the at least one insulating sleeve to secure the first and second mechanical members to one another. Additionally, the at least one insulating sleeve may facilitate electrical isolation of the first and second members. Various additional component mounting systems, methods, and locking members are also provided.
