Climax Metal Products C192M-18X38 Shaft Locking Device

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS C192M-18X38 is a shaft locking device designed to secure rotating components to shafts in mechanical drive systems. With an 18mm bore diameter and a 38mm outer diameter, this collar-style locking device clamps directly onto the shaft using four screws, eliminating the need for keyways or set screws alone. It delivers a maximum torque rating of 1,938 ft/lb, making it suitable for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. The overall width measures 3/4 inches. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors working on conveyor systems, pump drives, fan shafts, and similar rotating equipment.

This shaft locking device is used in applications where a secure, high-torque connection between a shaft and a hub or mounted component is required. The metric bore size of 18mm is common in equipment with European or metric-standard shafting. Typical install scenarios include gearboxes, sprocket and pulley assemblies, and power transmission drives in both light industrial and heavy-duty mechanical settings. It is suited for both original equipment assembly and field replacement or retrofit work.

Key Features

• 18mm bore diameter for metric shaft compatibility
• 38mm outer diameter for compact fitment in tight assemblies
• Four-screw clamping design provides even clamping force distribution
• Maximum torque rating of 1,938 ft/lb for high-load applications
• 3/4 inch overall width for space-conscious installations
• Keyway-free shaft mounting reduces shaft machining requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locking device for mechanical drive assemblies using 18mm metric shafting with components requiring up to a 38mm outer diameter mounting profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician familiar with rotating power transmission equipment. Ensure all connected drive systems are fully de-energized and locked out before installing or removing the locking device. Tighten the four clamping screws evenly in a cross pattern to achieve uniform clamping force across the bore. Consult applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines before servicing any rotating shaft assembly.
