Ruland MSP-20-F Two-Piece Clamping Shaft Collar, Black Oxide Steel, Metric, 20mm Bore, 40mm OD, 15mm Width (Pack of 2)

Description

This Ruland two-piece clamping shaft collar is made of black oxide steel. It
is a two-piece clamping shaft collar for applications requiring a stronger
holding power and higher axial load capacity than setscrew or one-piece
clamping collars. The two-piece design separates into two halves, allowing
installation or repositioning anywhere on the shaft without disturbing
existing components. It accommodates a greater variety of shaft diameters than
setscrew collars and is effective on both hard and soft shafts. It is made of
steel for weldability and rust resistance with a black oxide finish for a
decorative appearance and resistance to white corrosion, chipping and flaking,
and stick-slip of the screw during torqueing, improving the collar’s grip on
the shaft. Black oxide also provides mild corrosion resistance and improved
lubricity. This collar comes with forged socket-head cap screws for securing
the collar onto the shaft. The operating temperatures for this collar range
from -40 to 176 degrees C (-40 to 350 degrees F). This shaft collar is
suitable for use in various applications, including in the automotive industry
to situate components in automobile power steering assemblies, the
manufacturing industry to locate components on a conveyor belt system, and the
hobby craft industry to hold wheels on axles in remote control vehicles, among
others.Shaft collars are ring-shaped devices primarily used to secure
components onto shafts. They also serve as locators, mechanical stops, and
spacers between other components. The two basic types of shaft collars are
clamping (or split) collars, which come in one- or two-piece designs, and
setscrew collars. In both types, one or more screws hold the collars in place
on the shaft. In setscrew collars, screws are tightened through the collar
until they press directly against the shaft, and in clamping collars, screws
are tightened to uniformly compress the collar around the shaft without
impinging or marring it. Setscrew collars and one-piece clamping collars must
be installed by sliding the collar over the end of the shaft, while two-piece
clamping collars separate into two halves and can be installed between
components on the shaft. Shaft collars are made from a wide range of materials
including zinc-plated steel, aluminum, nylon, and neoprene. Found in nearly
every type of machinery and industry, shaft collars are used in applications
including gearbox assemblies, motor bases, machine tools, drive shafts,
agricultural implements, medical equipment, and paper and steel mill
equipment, among others.Ruland manufactures shaft collars, rigid couplings,
and zero-backlash motion control couplings including beam couplings, bellows
couplings, Oldham couplings, curved jaw couplings, and miniature disc
couplings. The company, founded in 1937, and headquartered in Marlborough, MA,
complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) standards.
