2C-087-Z Zinc Plated Mild Steel Two-Piece Clamping Shaft Collar, 7/8" Bore, 1-5/8" Outside Diameter, 1/2" Width, 1/4"-28 x 5/8" Clamp Screws

This Climax Metal Products 2C-087-Z two-piece clamping shaft collar has a 7/8" bore and is made of zinc-plated mild steel. It is a two-piece clamping shaft collar for applications requiring a stronger holding power and higher axial load capacity than set screw or one-piece clamping collars. The two-piece assembly separates into two halves, allowing installation or repositioning anywhere on the shaft without disturbing existing components. It accommodates a greater variety of shaft diameters than set screw collars and is effective on both hard and soft shafts. It is made of mild steel for weldability and is zinc plated for better resistance to corrosion than black oxide steel. This collar comes with two steel hex socket cap screws for securing the collar onto the shaft. It has a 1-5/8" outside diameter (OD), is 1/2" wide, and has an operating temperature range of -17 to +121 degrees C (0 to 250 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, the hobby craft industry to hold wheels on axles in remote control vehicles, and 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 set screw collars. In both types, one or more screws hold the collars in place on the shaft. In set screw 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. Whereas set screw collars and one-piece clamping collars must be installed by sliding the collar over the end of the shaft, 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. 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.
