Shaft collars resist corrosion

Ruland's range of smooth bore shaft collars in 316 stainless steel is particularly suitable for medical, food processing and pharmaceutical applications where washdown is required and contamination from corrosion must be avoided. A high level of resistance to chloride corrosion makes these shaft collars suitable for marine applications as well.

The collars in 316 stainless steel are available in one- and two-piece clamp-style designs with bore sizes from 1/8 to 2" and 3 to 50 mm. Clamp-style collars do not mar the shaft, provide higher holding power, and are more easily adjustable when compared to set screw type shaft collars.

All the shaft collars are single point faced to ensure perpendicularity and proper alignment. A precise shaft collar face to bore relationship ensures that components are both properly positioned and not tilted on the shaft. Collar face perpendicularity also ensures even pressure on interfaced components.

Ruland also has shaft collars in type 303 stainless steel, aluminium, black oxide carbon steel and engineered plastic.
