Climax Metal Products CR1C-168 Split Shaft Collar 2-3/4 in

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS CR1C-168 is a one-piece split shaft collar machined from 1215 steel with a yellow zinc finish. It features a 2.75-inch outside diameter and a width of 0.6875 inches. The split design allows the collar to be installed or removed without disassembling the entire shaft assembly, saving time during maintenance and positioning tasks. Licensed millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of collar to locate, retain, or limit travel of components on rotating shafts in a wide range of industrial and mechanical systems.

This collar is suited for shaft positioning and component retention applications in industrial machinery, HVAC fan assemblies, pump drives, conveyor systems, and general mechanical power transmission setups. The one-piece split construction clamps directly to the shaft without requiring a separate fastener bore through the shaft itself, making it practical for new installations and field retrofits alike. It is appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-duty applications where a reliable, repositionable shaft stop is needed.

Key Features

• One-piece split design for tool-accessible installation and removal without full shaft disassembly
• 2.75-inch outside diameter for compatibility with shafts requiring that collar OD envelope
• 0.6875-inch width provides a defined clamping face along the shaft axis
• 1215 steel construction for good machinability and consistent dimensional tolerance
• Yellow zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shaft collar for mechanical assemblies requiring a one-piece split collar with a 2.75-inch outside diameter and 0.6875-inch width in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools to tighten the split clamp fastener to the shaft. Shut down and lock out all power to rotating equipment before installing or repositioning this collar per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not install on shafts that are undersized or out of round, as proper clamping force and collar alignment depend on correct shaft diameter. Verify that the finished shaft diameter falls within the specified bore tolerance before final tightening.
