About Shaft Collars
Shaft collars attach to shafts and are used as stop features or targets for devices such as tachometers. They are usually made of aluminum, steel, stainless steel, or alloyed steel and coated with zinc, chromium or black oxide. Shaft collars made from non-metallic materials such as nylon are also available. Generally, these products are used for washdown applications such as food processing. There are several basic shaft collar designs. Setscrew collars are suitable for simple shaft positioning, but are not designed for high axial loads or applications that require repositioning. Threaded clamp collars are designed for threaded shafts and provide a relatively high axial loading force. One-piece clamp or C-style collars provide a more uniform holding force on the shaft. Like threaded clamp collars, these devices can be repositioned as necessary. Two-piece shaft collars provide a stronger and more uniform holding force than one-piece shaft collars. They also accept greater variances in shaft diameter and can be assembled anywhere on a shaft.
