Climax Metal Products C170E-187 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170E-187 is a shaft locking device engineered to secure rotating components to shafts in demanding mechanical applications. It features a 1-7/8 inch bore diameter and a 2.441 inch outer diameter, with an M8 thread size and 8 clamping screws that distribute load evenly around the shaft. The device delivers a maximum axial load capacity of 18,521 pounds and a maximum torque rating of 1,447 ft/lb, making it well suited for high-load power transmission assemblies. Overall width is 3.425 inches, with a thrust ring width of 1.772 inches. Weighing 3 pounds, this unit is a compact yet robust solution for shaft retention in industrial and mechanical systems.

This shaft locking device is used in power transmission applications where positive shaft-to-hub connection is required without keyways or set screws. Typical installations include industrial drive systems, conveyor assemblies, gearboxes, and rotating shaft assemblies where high axial load or torque transfer must be reliably maintained. It is installed and serviced by millwrights, industrial mechanics, and mechanical engineers working on rotating machinery in manufacturing, processing, and facility maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 1-7/8 inch bore diameter for direct shaft engagement
• M8 thread size with 8 clamping screws for uniform load distribution
• 18,521 lb axial load capacity for high-force applications
• 1,447 ft/lb maximum torque rating
• 3.425 inch overall width with 1.772 inch thrust ring width
• Compact 3 lb construction for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft locking device for industrial power transmission assemblies requiring a 1-7/8 inch bore and M8 thread clamping configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power sources to the drive system before beginning work, following LOTO procedures per applicable OSHA and facility safety standards. Clean shaft and bore surfaces thoroughly before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping force. Tighten clamping screws in a star pattern to the screw manufacturer's specified torque to achieve even load distribution across all 8 screws.
