Climax Metal Products CR1C-256 Split Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS CR1C-256 is a one-piece split shaft collar manufactured from 1215-grade steel with a yellow zinc finish. Split shaft collars clamp directly onto a shaft without requiring shaft modification, making them faster to install and reposition than set-screw collars. This collar measures 3.875 inches outside diameter and 0.875 inches wide, weighing 1.51 pounds. It is used by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on rotating shaft assemblies across industrial and commercial applications.

This collar is suited for use in mechanical power transmission systems where secure, repositionable shaft positioning is required. The one-piece split design maintains concentricity and distributes clamping force evenly around the shaft. Typical applications include positioning components on drive shafts, acting as a mechanical stop, and retaining bearings or other shaft-mounted hardware in fixed locations during operation.

Key Features

• One-piece split design allows installation and removal without disassembling adjacent components
• 3.875 inch outside diameter and 0.875 inch width for precise shaft fitment
• 1215-grade steel construction for reliable strength in power transmission environments
• Yellow zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in light-duty exposure conditions
• Distributes clamping load evenly, reducing shaft marring compared to set-screw designs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft collar for industrial rotating shaft assemblies requiring a one-piece split collar with a 3.875 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance technicians following applicable machinery safety lockout and tagout procedures. De-energize and lock out all power to rotating equipment before installing or adjusting shaft collars. Use the correct fastener torque as specified by the equipment manufacturer when tightening the split clamp bolts. Inspect the shaft surface for burrs or damage that could affect clamping consistency before seating the collar.
