Climax Metal Products M2C-30 Two Piece Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS M2C-30 is a two-piece shaft collar designed for mechanical shaft positioning, retention, and end-stop applications. Machined from steel with a black oxide finish, it features a plain bore and is part of the M2C series. The outside diameter measures 2.125 inches (54.0 mm) and the bore diameter is 1.181 inches. Two-piece construction allows the collar to be installed or removed without disassembling adjacent components, making it a practical choice for maintenance-heavy environments. Licensed millwrights, mechanical technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this type of collar on rotating shafts in conveyor, pump, and drive systems.

This collar is suited for use in industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies where shaft positioning hardware must be installed mid-shaft or in confined spaces. The two-piece design eliminates the need to slide the collar over shaft ends or remove shaft-mounted components during installation or replacement. Typical applications include conveyor drives, motor shafts, pump assemblies, and linear motion systems requiring positive shaft stops or component spacing.

Key Features

• Two-piece construction allows mid-shaft installation without full disassembly
• Plain bore design for straightforward fitment on smooth shafts
• Steel construction with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• Outside diameter of 2.125 inches (54.0 mm) for positive radial clearance in standard housings
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft collar for mechanical assemblies requiring a two-piece plain bore collar with a 1.181-inch bore and 2.125-inch outside diameter in the M2C series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Power down and lock out all rotating equipment per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before installing or removing shaft collars. The two-piece design requires both halves to be seated evenly on the shaft before fasteners are tightened. Do not use the collar as a primary load-bearing component unless the application design specifically calls for it.
