Climax Metal Products 1C-181-S Split Shaft Collar 2-7/8 in

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS 1C-181-S is a one-piece split shaft collar machined from 303 stainless steel. Split-style collars clamp directly onto a shaft without requiring shaft disassembly, making them a practical choice for positioning components, acting as mechanical stops, or retaining bearings and sprockets along a shaft. The 1C-181-S has an outside diameter of 2.875 inches and a width of 0.6875 inches. The 303 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or food-adjacent environments. This collar is installed and serviced by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on rotating equipment.

This shaft collar is suited for use in industrial machinery, HVAC drive assemblies, pump shafts, conveyor systems, and other rotating shaft applications where a reliable mechanical stop or spacer is needed. The one-piece split design allows the collar to be installed or repositioned at any point along a shaft without removing attached components. It is appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-duty applications where stainless steel is specified for environmental or cleanliness reasons.

Key Features

• One-piece split design allows mid-shaft installation without full disassembly
• Outside diameter of 2.875 inches for precise shaft fitment
• Width of 0.6875 inches provides a stable clamping face
• 303 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Single-piece body reduces the risk of component separation under load

Compatibility

Designed as a standard one-piece split shaft collar for rotating shaft applications requiring a 2.875-inch outside diameter stainless steel collar. Consult shaft bore specifications before installation to confirm correct bore size for your application.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all equipment before installing or repositioning shaft collars. Use the fastener torque value specified by the equipment manufacturer when tightening the clamp screw. Verify shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before seating the collar to ensure even clamping force.
