Climax Metal Products C-218-A Shaft Collar Aluminum

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C-218-A is a set screw shaft collar designed to locate, space, and retain components on rotating or stationary shafts. Machined from aluminum, this collar measures 3-1/4 inches outside diameter and 15/16 inches wide, making it well suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and reduced weight are priorities. The set screw style provides a straightforward clamping method without requiring modifications to the shaft. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers install this type of collar across a wide range of power transmission and positioning applications.

This shaft collar is used in light industrial and commercial mechanical systems where a reliable shaft-mounted stop or spacer is needed. Typical applications include positioning bearings, gears, pulleys, and sprockets on shafts in conveyor systems, pump assemblies, and general power transmission equipment. Its aluminum construction makes it a practical choice where steel weight is a concern or where mild corrosion resistance is preferred over ferrous hardware.

Key Features

• Set screw style for straightforward shaft retention without shaft modification
• 3-1/4 inch outside diameter suits mid-range shaft and bore dimensions
• 15/16 inch width provides stable axial positioning
• Aluminum construction reduces component weight and resists mild corrosion
• Single-piece design with no split for clean, compact installation

Compatibility

Designed as a set screw shaft collar for use in general power transmission assemblies where a 3-1/4 inch outside diameter collar is required. Verify shaft bore diameter against application requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or mechanical technician. Disengage and lock out all power to the shaft assembly before positioning the collar. Use a properly sized hex key to tighten the set screw to the shaft, and ensure the collar is seated at the correct axial position before final tightening. Avoid overtightening the set screw, as aluminum collars can deform under excessive torque.
