Climax Metal Products M2C-40 Two Piece Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS M2C-40 is a two-piece shaft collar designed for shaft positioning, retention, and load transfer in mechanical power transmission applications. Manufactured from steel with a black oxide finish, it features a plain bore with a 1.575-inch bore diameter and a 2.375-inch outside diameter. The two-piece design allows the collar to be installed or removed at any point along a shaft without disassembling the surrounding components, making it a practical choice for maintenance-intensive setups. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors working on rotating equipment.

This collar is suited for use in conveyor systems, pumps, fans, gearboxes, and general industrial machinery where shaft components must be secured or spaced. The plain bore accommodates smooth shafts and relies on fastener clamping force for holding power. Its black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance in dry or lightly humid environments. The M2C series is manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality standards, making it appropriate for applications where documented quality management is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shaft collar for mechanical power transmission assemblies requiring a two-piece plain bore collar with a 1.575-inch bore and 2.375-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or adjusting shaft collars in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before positioning the collar. Torque fasteners evenly and in sequence to achieve uniform clamping force around the shaft bore.
