Climax Metal Products C170E-168 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-168 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating components to shafts in demanding mechanical and industrial applications. With a 1-11/16 inch bore diameter and a 2.323 inch outer diameter, this locking collar uses an M8 thread pattern and 8 clamping screws to deliver a maximum axial load capacity of 18,521 pounds and a maximum torque rating of 1,302 ft/lb. The overall width measures 3.386 inches, with a thrust ring width of 1.772 inches. It is installed by mechanical technicians and millwrights working on drive shafts, conveyor systems, and power transmission assemblies.

The C170E-168 is suited for industrial and commercial power transmission applications where a high-strength, positive shaft connection is required. Typical installations include motor-to-shaft couplings, conveyor drive shafts, gear reduction assemblies, and similar rotating equipment where axial and torsional loads must be reliably controlled. The multi-screw clamping design provides even load distribution across the shaft surface, making it appropriate for both new installations and maintenance replacements in heavy-duty mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 1-11/16 inch bore diameter fits standard shaft sizes in industrial power transmission systems
• 2.323 inch outer diameter with 3.386 inch overall width for compact installation envelope
• 8-screw clamping pattern distributes axial load evenly across the shaft
• Rated for 18,521 pounds axial load and 1,302 ft/lb maximum torque
• M8 thread size on clamping screws for consistent torque application during installation
• Thrust ring width of 1.772 inches provides stable axial positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft locking device for industrial power transmission assemblies requiring a 1-11/16 inch bore and M8 thread clamping screws.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system fully before handling any shaft-mounted components. Clamping screws should be tightened incrementally in a star pattern to ensure even seating of the thrust ring against the shaft. Consult applicable ANSI or OSHA lockout/tagout standards before beginning work.
