Two-piece shaft collars

Description

Two-piece shaft collars feature a split design that allows for easy installation and disassembly in applications where the shaft end is inaccessible. Unlike more traditional one-piece collars, two-piece shaft collars can be applied at any point along the shaft, eliminating the need to remove other components for installation, removal, or repair. The clamping power of a two-piece assembly is much greater than other collar assemblies, applying its full seating torque to the shaft which results in a more uniform distribution of force around the shaft. These attributes make two-piece shaft collars suitable for applications that require enhanced holding force and elevated shock-load resistance.

The convenience, versatility, and load-bearing strength of two-piece shaft collars make them ideal for use in a wide variety of applications, including:

• Automation Equipment: Two-piece shaft collars allow for fine control in the positioning and alignment of automation equipment, including pulleys, gears, bearings, and more.
• Heavy Machinery: Two-piece shaft collars provide direction and mechanical stops for actuators, cylinders, pistons, and other heavy machinery.
• Laboratory Equipment: Laboratory equipment requires fine stops and spacers for precision operations. Two-piece shaft collars are used on clamps, frames, and tubing to provide precise control adjustments.
• Medical Equipment: Medical equipment benefits from the use of precise two-piece shaft collars as guides, spacers, and stops for hospital beds, monitoring equipment, and imaging systems to fit strict industry standards.
• Optical Instrumentation: Two-piece shaft collars are ideal for precision adjustments and stops for optical equipment in measuring and sensing applications.
• Power Transmission: Two-piece shaft collars are incorporated into motion control equipment to ensure optimal positioning and accurate stopping points for pistons, cylinders, actuators, and other components.
