What types of rigid couplings does Climax manufacture?
Leave a CommentClimax manufactures rigid set screw couplings and rigid clamping couplings. We also offer customized dimensions, specialized plating and manufacture from a variety of materials. Set Screw Couplings are secured to the shaft by set screws that impinge upon the shaft. Set screw couplings are also available with a keyway for keyed shafts. Clamp Couplings are designed in […]
What is a sanding drum used for?
Leave a CommentAbrasive sanding drums are used to mount an abrasive sanding sleeve. The rubber drum expands to hold the sanding sleeve in place. Sleeves are secured on the drum by controlled expansion of the solid rubber drum spindle. The rubber provides a cushioned backing to assure a smooth, even finish during use. Always remember to use […]
Climax Continues its Innovative Approach to Engineered Shaft Locking Solutions
Leave a CommentClimax Metal Products Company continues its innovative approach to Engineered Shaft Locking Solutions™ with the introduction of our C192 Series Keyless Locking Assembly. The C192 Series is designed as a drop-in functional replacement for Fenner® Trantorque® GT Series keyless bushings. The non-traversing design provides a high-capacity mechanical interference fit, installs using lower installation torque than the […]
What materials are used in manufacturing rigid couplings?
Leave a CommentSteel Couplings are the most commonly used and manufactured. The exact type of steel used varies depending on the machine process but generally low-carbon steel is used, including materials such as 1215, 1045, and 1026. Stainless Steel Couplings are used primarily in applications
What finishes do you offer for rigid couplings?
Leave a CommentBlack oxide finish on our steel couplings is formulated as part of the total performance of the coupling. The black oxide affects the anti-stick-slip characteristics and helps keep the torque rating of the screw within its design parameters. The black oxide has corrosion resistant properties for indoor environmental applications. However, black oxide
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 […]
What is 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 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.
