Climax Metal Products C170E-043 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-043 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating shafts and prevent axial movement in mechanical assemblies. It features a 7/16 inch bore diameter and a 0.709 inch outer diameter, with M4 thread fasteners and four clamping screws that deliver a rated axial load capacity of 2,191 pounds. The overall width measures 1.26 inches, and the thrust ring width is 0.551 inches. This component is installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on rotating equipment, conveyor systems, motors, and similar drive assemblies where precise shaft retention is required.

This shaft locking device is suited for use in industrial and commercial mechanical systems where controlled axial positioning of a shaft is critical. Typical applications include motor shafts, pump shafts, and gearbox assemblies in both light and heavy-duty settings. The M4 thread pattern and four-screw clamping design allow for even load distribution around the shaft diameter, making it a reliable choice for applications with moderate to high axial load demands. Mechanical and maintenance technicians handling rotating equipment are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch bore diameter for precise shaft fit
• 0.709 inch outer diameter for compact installation in tight assemblies
• M4 thread with four clamping screws for even load distribution
• 2,191 pound axial load rating for demanding applications
• 1.26 inch overall width with a 0.551 inch thrust ring width
• 40 ft/lb maximum torque rating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring a shaft locking device with a 7/16 inch bore, M4 thread, and 0.709 inch outer diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician with the machinery fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures before beginning work. Ensure the shaft and bore surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the locking device. Tighten the clamping screws evenly in a cross pattern to achieve uniform load distribution without exceeding the 40 ft/lb maximum torque specification. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment manufacturer guidelines before installation.
