Two piece clamp on collars come apart in two halves for easy installation and maintenance They promise not to mar the shaft. They clamp evenly around the shaft therefore providing excellent holding power. Made of carbon steel with a Black-Oxide finish to offer mild corrosion resistance. The main function of a shaft collar is to position components such as bearings, pulleys, sprockets and sensors, holding them securely in place. With high levels of holding power, shaft collars are ideally designed to precisely locate machine components on the shaft.
The shaft collar is a simple, yet important, machine component found in many power transmission applications, most notably motors and gearboxes. The collars are used as mechanical stops, locating components, and bearing faces. The simple design lends itself to easy installation. The purpose of the collar is usually to hold motor components, gear assemblies, sprockets, bearings, and other parts in place and sometimes facilitate their proper movement. The collars may specifically locate components, keep them appropriately spaced, or limit their movement.
There are several types of collars. The three basic types are flat, standing, and rolled. Shaft collars consist of the uppermost portion of the shaft and act as a protective barrier to prevent water and soil from entering the shaft. They typically extend from ground surface down to solid bedrock, which the collar is anchored in to. A threaded coupling used to join two lengths of pipe such as production tubing, casing or liner. The type of thread and style of collar varies with the specifications and manufacturer of the tubing.
