All EPT shaft collars, including quick-clamping collars, are one point faced to make sure perpendicularity and proper alignment. This critical manufacturing step assures exact shaft collar confront to bore relationship leading to correct part positioning on the shaft and even pressure on interfaced components.
Quick-clamping shaft collars from EPT are produced from high quality lightweight aluminum with type-II sulfuric anodized finishes, with a black finish upon the collar and a precious metal finish in the clamping lever for added visibility. Lightweight aluminum collars are corrosion tolerant, lighter than additional metals, have low inertia and have non-magnetic properties. All EPT products are RoHS and REACH compliant. Available regular sizes for the quick-clamping shaft collars will be 0.375” to 1 1.5” in the inch series and 8 mm to 38 mm in the metric series.
This EPT two-piece clamping shaft collar is made from black oxide steel. It is a two-piece clamping shaft collar for applications requiring a better holding power and higher axial load potential than setscrew or one-part clamping collars. The two-piece design separates into two halves, allowing installation or repositioning everywhere on the shaft without disturbing existing elements. It accommodates a greater variety of shaft diameters than setscrew collars and works well on both hard and smooth shafts. It is made of steel for weldability and rust resistance with a dark oxide surface finish for a decorative appearance and level of resistance to white-colored corrosion, chipping and flaking, and stick-slide of the screw during torqueing, bettering the collar’s hold on the shaft. Dark oxide also provides moderate corrosion resistance and increased lubricity. This collar comes with forged socket-mind cap screws for securing the collar onto the shaft. The working temperatures because of this collar range between -40 to 176 degrees C (-40 to 350 degrees F). This shaft collar is well suited for use in a variety of applications, which include in the automotive industry to situate parts in automobile electric power steering assemblies, the making industry to locate pieces on a conveyor belt system, and the hobby craft market to hold wheels on axles in handy remote control vehicles, among others.
Allows assembly / disassembly on / off the shaft with no need to eliminate other ancillary components. Clamps firmly in place once tightened to the shaft. Perfect for positioning pieces such as for example bearings or sprockets onto shafts.
The positioning is easily adjusted when fitted onto a shaft. Clamps firmly set up once tightened to the shaft. Ideal for positioning elements such as for example bearings or sprockets onto shafts.
The dual split shaft collar made of steel browned (clamp collar) is easy to attach. The shaft collars usually do not harm the shaft. Also, they are insensitive to exterior forces and vibrations and distribute the holding forces evenly over the complete shaft circumference.
Clamp-style and placed screw shaft collars from Grainger can be indispensable to power transmission. They are able to maintain bearings and sprockets on cast aluminium china shafts, situate elements in electric motor and gearbox assemblies and provide as mechanical stops. A two-part clamping shaft collar can certainly wrap around a hard or soft shaft without marring. Collection screw collars use a cup point socket collection screw to lock onto a smooth or predrilled shaft.

The collar clamping mechanism works fast and proficiently with simple hand opening of the integral clamping lever, positioning the collar on the shaft, and closing the lever flush with the outer surface area of the collar. The look of the cam on the lever and the mating machined surface area on the collar assure a tight fit with a maximum axial load of 35 to 120 lbs / 133 to 489 N according to the collar bore size. In situations where higher holding electric power can be or clamp axial load is required, the quick-clamping collar is not the recommended decision. EPT offers a accomplish type of industry-leading one-piece and two-part shaft collars made for these applications.
