Climax Metal Products 2C-218-S Two-piece Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS 2C-218-S is a two-piece shaft collar designed for mechanical power transmission and shaft positioning applications. It features a 3.25-inch outside diameter and a width of 0.75 inches, machined from grade 303 stainless steel. The two-piece construction allows the collar to be installed or removed without disassembling adjacent components, making it a practical choice for maintenance-heavy environments. Licensed mechanical technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this component in rotating shaft assemblies.

This collar suits applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, including food processing equipment, marine environments, chemical handling systems, and other installations exposed to moisture or corrosive agents. The 303 stainless steel grade provides good machinability alongside corrosion resistance, making it a common choice for OEM and replacement use in light-to-medium duty shaft assemblies. It is compatible with shafts requiring a two-piece collar in the 3.25-inch OD range.

Key Features

• Two-piece design allows installation and removal without disturbing adjacent shaft components
• 3.25-inch outside diameter suits larger shaft assemblies
• 0.75-inch width provides a stable clamping surface along the shaft
• Grade 303 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Suitable for shaft positioning, stop, and spacer applications in rotating equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade two-piece shaft collar for rotating shaft assemblies requiring a 3.25-inch outside diameter collar in grade 303 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating equipment. Ensure the shaft and all connected components are de-energized and at a complete stop before installing or adjusting the collar. Both halves should be aligned evenly on the shaft before fasteners are tightened to avoid uneven clamping force. Follow the equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the fasteners supplied with the collar.
