Stafford Custom Hinged Shaft Collars Feature Simplified One-Piece Design with High-Strength Hinge

September 16, 2015

Custom hinged shaft collars that can be manufactured in many configurations including with mounting holes, quick adjustment handles, and other special features are available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Stafford custom hinged shaft collars feature a high-strength hinge and a captive clamping screw designed to eliminate parts, fumbling, and lost screws but provide the same holding power as standard two-piece split shaft collars. Manufactured to user requirements, they combine adjustability, safety and functionality with features such as the Grip & Go quick-release handle for rapid linear positioning, mounting holes for sensors and different bores.

Designed for applications requiring quick-adjustment in remote locations, Stafford custom hinged shaft collars can be manufactured from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze and 1018 steel for welding attachments. Available in sizes from 1/8" to 8" I.D., they can incorporate round, square, hex, and threaded bores along with flats and other O.D. treatments.
