• One-piece clamping shaft collar for applications requiring a more uniform holding power and higher axial load capacity than setscrew collars.
• Threaded bore for fine adjustments, preloading of components, and higher axial loads than smooth bore designs.
• Stainless steel 303 for greater corrosion resistance than steel or aluminum.
• Includes socket-head cap screws for securing the collar onto the shaft.
• Operating temperatures range from -40 to 426 degrees C (-40 to 800 degrees F).

This Climax Metal one-piece clamping shaft collar has a threaded bore and is made of stainless steel 303. It is a one-piece clamping shaft collar for applications requiring a more uniform holding power and higher axial load capacity than setscrew collars. It is easier to remove and reposition than setscrew collars and is effective on both hard and soft shafts. This collar has a threaded bore for installing on threaded shafts. Threaded collars create a positive mechanical stop against the shaft to support preloading of bearings and other components and to allow for higher axial loads and finer adjustments than smooth bore designs. It is made of stainless steel 303 for greater resistance to corrosion than steel or aluminum. This collar comes with socket-head cap screws for securing the collar onto the shaft. The operating temperatures for this collar range from -40 to 426 degrees C (-40 to 800 degrees F).This shaft collar is suitable for use in various applications, including in the automotive industry to situate components in automobile power steering assemblies, the manufacturing industry to locate components on a conveyor belt system, and the hobby craft industry to hold wheels on axles in remote control vehicles, among others. Shaft collars are ring-shaped devices primarily used to secure components onto shafts. They also serve as locators, mechanical stops, and spacers between other components. The two basic types of shaft collars are clamping (or split) collars, which come in one- or two-piece designs, and setscrew collars. In both types, one or more screws hold the collars in place on the shaft. In setscrew collars, screws are tightened through the collar until they press directly against the shaft, and in clamping collars, screws are tightened to uniformly compress the collar around the shaft without impinging or marring it. Setscrew collars and one-piece clamping collars must be installed by sliding the collar over the end of the shaft, while two-piece clamping collars separate into two halves and can be installed between components on the shaft. Shaft collars are made from a wide range of materials including zinc-plated steel, aluminum, nylon, and neoprene. Found in nearly every type of machinery and industry, shaft collars are used in applications including gearbox assemblies, motor bases, machine tools, drive shafts, agricultural implements, medical equipment, and paper and steel mill equipment, among others. Climax Metal Products Company (CLIMAX) manufactures shaft collars, rigid couplings, keyless locking devices, pulleys, keyless bushings, and bearings for the power transmission industry and industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) markets. The company, founded in 1946, and headquartered in Mentor, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 quality assurance standards.
