Climax Metal Products C170E-050 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-050 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating components to a shaft in mechanical power transmission applications. It features a 0.5 inch bore diameter and a 29/32 inch outer diameter, with an M4 thread size and four locking screws that apply clamping force evenly around the shaft. The device provides an axial load rating of 2,191 pounds, making it suitable for applications that demand reliable axial retention. Overall width is 1.5 inches, and the thrust ring width measures 0.551 inches. Maximum torque capacity is 46 ft-lb. The unit weighs 0.3 pounds.

This shaft locking device is used in industrial and mechanical drive systems where a positive, adjustable shaft-to-component connection is required. Typical applications include conveyor systems, motor shafts, pump drives, and other rotating assemblies where slip or axial movement must be controlled. It is installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on rotating equipment in both light industrial and commercial settings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft locking device for rotating mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch bore and M4 thread interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with rotating drive components. De-energize and lock out the equipment fully before installing or removing the locking device. Tighten screws incrementally in a cross pattern to achieve uniform clamping force without exceeding the specified maximum torque. Inspect the shaft surface for burrs or damage before assembly to ensure proper seating.
