Usage

This shaft collar is ideally suited for applications that involve both hard and soft shafts, such as conveyor systems, gearboxes, motor shafts, and agricultural equipment. Its robust steel construction provides the durability required for continuous operation in harsh environments, while the set‑screw design enables rapid installation in confined spaces where traditional collars would demand major disassembly.

Engineers and maintenance technicians appreciate the ease of adjustment offered by the set‑screw, which can be tightened or loosened with standard tools. This flexibility makes the C-106-DT an excellent choice for machines that require periodic alignment or torque adjustments, ensuring optimal performance throughout the equipment’s lifecycle.

FAQ

What shaft materials are compatible with this collar?

The C-106-DT is effective on both hard and soft shafts, including steel, aluminum, and composite materials. Its design distributes clamping force evenly, preventing damage to delicate shafts while maintaining a firm grip on tougher ones.

Can the set‑screw be adjusted after installation?

Yes. The set‑screw can be tightened or loosened using a standard 5/16‑18 socket or wrench. This adjustability allows for fine‑tuning of the clamping pressure, making it easy to accommodate minor shaft wear or re‑alignment needs.

Is any additional plating required for corrosion resistance?

No additional plating is necessary. The steel material provides sufficient corrosion resistance for most indoor and moderate outdoor applications. For highly corrosive environments, a protective coating can be applied, but it is not a requirement for standard use.

What is the recommended torque for the set‑screw?

We recommend tightening the set‑screw to a torque of approximately 5–7 ft‑lb (6.8–9.5 Nm). This range ensures a secure hold without over‑compressing the shaft, preserving both the collar and the shaft’s integrity.

How does this collar compare to other types of shaft collars?

Compared to split‑type or clamp‑type collars, the set‑screw design of the C-106-DT offers a more compact profile and requires less space for installation. Its precise tolerance and steel construction provide superior torque handling and durability, making it a cost‑effective alternative for many industrial applications.
