Climax Metal Products C170E-062 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-062 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating shafts in mechanical assemblies where axial load control is critical. This collar-style device features a 5/8 inch bore diameter and a 0.945 inch outer diameter, built around an M6 thread specification. Three clamping screws deliver a maximum torque rating of 98 ft/lb and an axial load capacity of 3,759 pounds. The overall width measures 1.732 inches, with a thrust ring width of 0.63 inches. Mechanical technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of device to prevent axial shaft movement in motors, pumps, and drive assemblies.

This shaft locking device suits applications where precise shaft retention is required in light-to-medium-duty rotating equipment. Typical installations include electric motor shafts, conveyor drives, pump shafts, and HVAC blower assemblies where axial displacement must be controlled. The M6 thread size and three-screw configuration allow for even load distribution around the shaft circumference during installation. The compact outer diameter makes it suitable for use in confined shaft housings common in residential and light commercial mechanical equipment.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch bore diameter for direct shaft fit without modification
• 3,759 lb axial load capacity for reliable shaft retention under operational stress
• Three M6 clamping screws provide balanced, even clamping force
• 0.945 inch outer diameter suits confined shaft housing installations
• 98 ft/lb maximum torque rating for secure mechanical engagement
• 1.732 inch overall width with 0.63 inch thrust ring width for dimensional compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade shaft locking device for rotating shaft assemblies requiring a 5/8 inch bore and M6 thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before working on any rotating shaft assembly. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the three clamping screws evenly in a cross pattern to avoid shaft distortion. Verify shaft surface condition and clean any corrosion or debris before seating the locking device.
