Why is a cross-cut on a coupling important?
Leave a CommentA cross-cut is a lateral cut made halfway through the coupling. It is added to our one-piece and two-piece clamping couplings only. Similar to a relief cut, the cross-cut allows more tolerance for different size shafts. The cross-cut will help the rigid coupling clamp more securely and transmit power more efficiently even with these slight […]
Climax Awarded “Manufacturer Member Silver” from the European Power Transmission Distributors Association
Leave a CommentIn June 2017 Climax was presented the Manufacturer Member Silver Status from the European Power Transmission Distributors Association (EPTDA). The EPTDA is the leading organization in Europe, Middle-East, and Africa for the distribution and manufacturing communities in the mechanical power transmission and motion control industry, setting the highest commercial and ethical standards.
What is a shaft tolerance?
Leave a CommentShaft tolerance is the amount of allowable difference between the size of collar or coupling and the size of the shaft that will still allow the component to function. Ideally, a ¾” collar will be used on a ¾” inch nominal shaft. The closer to nominal the better – if the difference is too great, […]

What is torque capacity?
Leave a CommentThis is a very commonly asked question, and it depends on each individual application. For a collar, the key figure is the axial load of the collar, and for a coupling it is how much torque it can transmit. Consult our technical data sheet for typical maximum values for axial load and torque data. Please note the […]

What is a Climax Keyless Locking Device?
Leave a CommentKeyless Locking Devices (KLDs) are mechanical bushings used to connect power transmission components onto rotating shafts. Without the use of keyways, KLDs eliminate the problems associated with backlash including fretting, corroding, and wallowing. KLDs work with straight bores and generous tolerances, reducing component machining and complexity costs. In addition, KLDs are installed and removed using […]
What materials are used to manufacture Keyless Locking Devices?
Leave a CommentClimax Keyless Locking Devices are manufactured from high carbon and alloy steel and stainless steel.
What is the required surface finish & lubricity for Keyless Locking Devices?
Leave a CommentClimax Keyless Locking Devices carry rated capacities that rely upon both lubricity and surface finish. Components to be mounted should be machined to achieve a surface finish of between 63 and 125 µIN RMS. A surface finish outside this range could result in a reduction of the load carrying capacity of the connection. Lubricity is […]
