Description
Product Overview
The MECCANIXITY Shaft Collar is engineered for precision and durability in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade 304 stainless steel, the collar offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life even in harsh, moisture‑laden settings. Its 40mm bore (1.57 inches) matches standard guide shafts, while the double‑split design allows for easy installation without the need for additional tools. The outer diameter measures 60mm (2 3/8 inches) and the thickness is 15mm (9/16 inch), providing a robust clamping force that securely holds the shaft in place. The clamp‑on mechanism utilizes a set screw that, when tightened, creates a uniform pressure distribution, preventing slippage and maintaining precise alignment. This design is particularly suited for motor bases, drive shafts, and machine tools where reliable positioning is critical. The product dimensions are compact at 5.28 × 3.58 × 0.83 inches, weighing only 5.89 ounces, making it easy to handle and install. With a best‑sellers rank of #98,045 in Industrial & Scientific and #53 in Clamp‑On Shaft Collars, the MECCANIXITY collar has earned a reputation for quality and performance among engineers and technicians.
Usage
Designed for a wide range of industrial automation applications, this shaft collar excels in environments where precision and reliability are paramount. It is commonly employed in conveyor belt systems to secure rollers and guide shafts, preventing unwanted movement that could lead to product defects or equipment downtime. In motor assemblies, the collar acts as a stop or positioning device, ensuring the motor shaft remains aligned with connected components such as pulleys or gearboxes. The robust stainless‑steel construction makes it ideal for use in food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical plants where hygiene standards demand materials that resist bacterial growth and chemical corrosion. Additionally, the collar is suitable for CNC machines, printing equipment, and robotic arms, where it can serve as a quick‑release mechanism for maintenance or tool changes. Its lightweight yet sturdy profile allows for easy retrofitting into existing machinery without significant modifications, reducing installation time and labor costs. The double‑split feature enables technicians to install the collar on a shaft without removing existing components, streamlining workflow and minimizing system downtime.

FAQ
What size shafts are compatible with this collar?
The collar is designed for a 40mm (1.57 inch) bore, which fits standard shafts ranging from 1.5 inches to 1.6 inches in diameter. The double‑split feature allows it to accommodate slight variations in shaft size while maintaining a tight grip. For applications requiring a different bore size, MECCANIXITY offers a full range of shaft collars in various diameters to suit specific needs.
How do I install the collar without damaging the shaft?
Installation is straightforward: place the collar around the shaft, align the set‑screw hole with the desired position, and tighten the set screw using a standard Allen wrench. The split design ensures the collar can be opened and closed without applying excessive force, preventing surface scratches or deformation of the shaft. It is recommended to clean the shaft surface before installation to remove any debris that could affect the clamping force.
Is the set‑screw thread compatible with standard tools?
Yes, the set‑screw utilizes a common metric thread (typically M5) that works with standard Allen or hex keys. This compatibility allows technicians to quickly adjust the clamping pressure without needing specialized equipment. The ergonomic head design provides a comfortable grip, reducing the risk of slippage during tightening and ensuring a consistent torque application.
Can this collar be used in high‑temperature environments?
While 304 stainless steel performs well up to approximately 870 °C (1600 °F) in continuous service, the practical operating temperature for most industrial applications is limited to around 300 °C (572 °F) to maintain material integrity and prevent thermal expansion issues. For extreme temperature conditions, MECCANIXITY offers alternative alloys such as 316 or high‑temperature‑grade stainless steels that are specifically engineered for those environments.
What warranty and support does MECCANIXITY provide?
MECCANIXITY offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Our technical support team is available to assist with installation guidance, troubleshooting, and spare part inquiries. Customers can reach support via phone, email, or our online portal, ensuring rapid response times and reliable assistance throughout the product’s lifespan.
