Climax Metal Products C170M-7X15 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C170M-7X15 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating components to shafts in mechanical power transmission applications. It features a 7mm bore diameter and a 15mm outer diameter, with an M4 thread size. Three clamping screws apply axial force to generate a rated axial load of 1,643 pounds, holding position under demanding operating conditions. The overall width measures 1-1/16 inches, and the thrust ring width is 0.472 inches. This device is installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on motors, drives, and rotating shaft assemblies.

This shaft locking device is suited for light-duty to medium-duty rotating shaft applications where precise axial positioning and secure locking are required. Typical installations include motor shafts, conveyor components, encoder mounts, and similar rotating equipment found in both industrial and commercial mechanical systems. The compact 15mm OD makes it appropriate for confined shaft arrangements where larger collars or keyway solutions are not practical.

Key Features

• 7mm bore diameter for direct shaft fit without modification
• 15mm outer diameter suits compact shaft arrangements
• M4 thread size with 3 clamping screws for even axial load distribution
• Rated axial load of 1,643 pounds for reliable holding force
• Thrust ring width of 0.472 inches for low-profile installation
• Overall width of 1-1/16 inches for space-constrained applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locking device for rotating shaft assemblies requiring a 7mm bore, 15mm OD, and M4 thread configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with shaft locking devices and power transmission components. Disengage and lock out all power sources to the equipment before installing or removing the locking device. Use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten the three M4 clamping screws in a star pattern to ensure even axial load distribution. Do not exceed the rated axial load or apply side loads beyond the design intent of the device.
