Climax Metal Products M2C-18 Two Piece Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS M2C-18 is a two-piece shaft collar designed for mechanical power transmission applications. It features a plain bore and mounts directly onto a shaft without requiring the shaft to be disassembled, making installation and repositioning faster compared to single-piece designs. The collar is machined from steel with a black oxide finish for basic corrosion resistance. The outside diameter measures 1.5 inches and the bore diameter is approximately 0.709 inches. Licensed millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of collar in conveyor systems, gearbox assemblies, and general industrial machinery where axial shaft positioning is required.

This shaft collar is suited for light-to-medium duty industrial and commercial mechanical applications. The two-piece construction allows the collar to be installed or removed at any point along a shaft without disturbing adjacent components, which is useful in retrofits and scheduled maintenance scenarios. Typical uses include shaft positioning, bearing retention, and spacing on rotating shafts in equipment such as fans, blowers, conveyors, and drive systems. The M2C series is manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard shaft collar for industrial rotating shaft applications requiring a 1.5-inch OD two-piece plain bore collar.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed millwrights or qualified maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before working on any rotating shaft assembly in accordance with applicable LOTO procedures. The two-piece design separates at the split line and clamps around the shaft using fasteners included with or specified for the collar. Do not over-tighten fasteners beyond the collar manufacturer specifications, and confirm the shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before installation.
