Climax Metal Products C-118-S Shaft Collar Stainless Steel

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C-118-S is a set screw shaft collar designed to locate, space, and retain shaft-mounted components in rotating machinery and conveyor systems. Machined from 303 stainless steel with a plain finish, it features a 1.188-inch bore diameter and a 2-inch outside diameter, making it a standard fit for fractional and close-tolerance shafting. The set screw style allows quick installation and removal without disassembling surrounding components. Licensed mechanical and millwright technicians commonly specify this collar for food-processing, washdown, and corrosion-exposed environments where stainless construction is required. It is manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality standards.

This shaft collar is suited for light to medium-duty shaft retention applications across a wide range of industries including food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical equipment, marine systems, and general industrial machinery. The 11/16-inch width provides adequate face contact for reliable axial positioning. It installs on plain-bore shafts and is well matched to applications where frequent disassembly and repositioning are required without sleeve or split-collar tooling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft collar for plain-bore shafting applications requiring a 1.188-inch bore and 2-inch outside diameter in the CLIMAX Series C configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright or mechanical technician. Shut down and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or adjusting shaft collars per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Tighten the set screw to the shaft using the appropriate hex key; ensure the shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before seating the collar. Do not use the collar as a primary load-bearing stop under sustained impact loads unless the application is rated accordingly.
