About Shaft Collars
Shaft collars are useful for holding and positioning components on a shaft. They can also serve as mechanical stops and stroke limiters.

Mount these hubless bushings flush into your sprocket or pulley for a slim profile with no protruding screws. They are for use with taper-lock sprockets of the same bushing style. As you tighten the included set screws, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into your sprocket or pulley.

Set Screw Shaft Collars

Keep these shaft collars in place by tightening their set screw into the shaft. The tip of the screw digs in for a secure hold, but will mar the shaft’s surface. For maximum holding power, make sure the set screw material is harder than your shaft material. Use these shaft collars to position and retain power transmission components such as sprockets, pulleys, and bearings. You can also use them to limit the movement of a shaft.
Carbon steel collars are strong and wear resistant. Collars with a black-oxide finish have some corrosion resistance, but only in dry environments. Their dark color can be useful for matching other parts in your system. Collars with a zinc-plated finish have an outer layer of zinc that protects the steel from rust and extends the life of the collar. Aluminum collars are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance.

These metal collars are stronger than plastic shaft collars. They clamp evenly around the shaft to create a strong, mar-free hold. To use, slide onto your shaft and tighten the clamping screw to secure.
Black-oxide steel collars have some corrosion resistance. Aluminum collars are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel collars have excellent corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel collars have excellent corrosion and chemical resistance.

Installing and removing a collar is as easy as pushing down and lifting up a clamp lever. Collars clamp evenly around the shaft to create a strong, mar-free hold. All have a clamping screw to adjust lever tension. Made of anodized aluminum, they are lightweight with good corrosion resistance.

These metal collars are stronger than plastic shaft collars. The two-piece design allows you to install them anywhere on a shaft without removing components or having access to the ends of the shaft. Collars clamp evenly around the shaft to create a strong, mar-free hold. Tighten the clamping screws to secure.
Black-oxide steel collars have some corrosion resistance. Zinc-plated steel and chrome-plated steel collars have moderate corrosion resistance with a bright finish. Aluminum collars are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel collars have excellent corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel collars have excellent corrosion and chemical resistance.

Tighten the set screw to bite into an unhardened shaft for a secure hold. The two-piece design allows you to install these collars anywhere on a shaft without removing components or having access to the ends of the shaft. Clamping screws provide extra grip.
Carbon steel collars are strong and wear resistant. Their black-oxide finish is somewhat corrosion resistant, but only in dry environments. Their dark color can be useful for matching other parts in your system.

Shaft Grounding Rings
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/480/4805n13-@halfx_1709572997.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Prevent motor downtime by protecting bearings from stray currents generated by variable frequency drives. These grounding rings create a path for stray currents, so they won't damage bearing surfaces. Use them on AC motors.
One-piece rings slide on from the end of the shaft. Two-piece rings simplify installation when motors are connected to equipment.
Use epoxies to install rings without having to drill or tap into motor frames.
Apply shaft coatings to motor shafts before installing the rings to improve the conductivity of the steel shaft surface that touches the grounding ring.
