Climax Metal Products C170E-031 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-031 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating components to shafts in mechanical drive applications. It features a 5/16 inch bore diameter, a 0.591 inch outer diameter, and uses three M4 screws to generate a maximum torque of 21 ft/lb and an axial load capacity of 1,643 pounds. The thrust ring width measures 0.472 inches, and the overall width is 1-1/16 inches. This type of device is typically installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or equipment technicians during shaft assembly or component replacement on machinery and drive systems.

The C170E-031 is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise shaft retention is required. Its compact dimensions and M4 thread configuration make it appropriate for smaller-diameter shaft applications in motors, conveyor systems, pump drives, and similar rotating equipment. The three-screw clamping design distributes load evenly around the shaft for reliable holding force under axial and rotational stress.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch bore diameter for precise shaft fit
• Three M4 clamping screws for even load distribution
• 1,643 pounds axial load capacity
• 21 ft/lb maximum torque rating
• 0.472 inch thrust ring width for compact axial footprint
• 0.591 inch outer diameter for use in space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style shaft locking device for mechanical drive assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch bore and M4 thread configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright. Ensure the shaft and bore surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the locking device. De-energize and lock out all connected equipment before installation or removal. Tighten screws in an alternating pattern to ensure even clamping force distribution.
