Climax shaft collars and couplings can be used in applications over a wide range of operating temperatures. The table below lists these ambient operating temperature ranges for our shaft collars and rigid couplings based on material.
| MATERIAL | AMBIENT OPERATING MIN (°F) | AMBIENT OPERATING MAX (°F) |
| STEEL – High Strength, Low Carbon Steel | -40 | 350 |
| STAINLESS STEEL – Type 303 / Type 316 | -40 | 350 |
| ALUMINUM – Type 6061 – T651 or equivalent | -40 | 225 |
| ACETAL – Delrin | -10 | 185 |
Note that the numbers listed in the table are ambient temperatures and are not applicable when the part is directly exposed to a heat source. These values are ‘typical’ operating temperature ranges and are not a guarantee under all conditions. They are meant to be a guide and must be evaluated by the customer based on individual application. For applications where the shaft collar and/or rigid coupling would be subjected to temperatures outside the ambient operating temperature range presented above, please contact a Climax applications engineer.
