About Shaft Collars
Shaft collars are useful for holding and positioning components on a shaft. They can also serve as mechanical stops and stroke limiters.

Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Quick-Disconnect (QD) Bushings
The screw connections on these bushings easily mate to compatible quick-disconnect sprockets and pulleys. Bushings fit quick-disconnect (QD) sprockets and pulleys of the same bushing style. As you tighten the included screws, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into the sprocket or pulley.

Split-Tapered Bushings
The tapered barrel on these bushings is split on both sides, allowing them to contract more tightly around the shaft than quick-disconnect and taper-lock bushings. They're for use with split-tapered sprockets and pulleys of the same bushing style. As you tighten the included screws, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into the sprocket or pulley.
Bushings with a machine key fit into a matching keyway on a sprocket or pulley for high-torque applications.

Set Screw Shaft Collars
Keep these shaft collars in place by tightening their set screw into the shaft. The tip of the screw digs in for a secure hold, but will mar the shaft’s surface. For maximum holding power, make sure the set screw material is harder than your shaft material. Use these shaft collars to position and retain power transmission components such as sprockets, pulleys, and bearings. You can also use them to limit the movement of a shaft.
Carbon steel collars are strong and wear resistant. Collars with a black-oxide finish have some corrosion resistance, but only in dry environments. Their dark color can be useful for matching other parts in your system. Collars with a zinc-plated finish have an outer layer of zinc that protects the steel from rust and extends the life of the collar. 303 stainless steel collars are corrosion resistant and highly machinable.
316 stainless steel collars are the most corrosion resistant while still being nearly as strong as steel collars. You can expose them to salt water, chlorine solutions, and chemicals without rusting.
Aluminum collars are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance.

Each hub includes a set screw (unless noted), which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings, these three-piece couplings have a spider-shaped cushion between two hubs to reduce shock and handle minor shaft misalignment.
Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance. Hytrel spiders provide fair vibration damping and excellent chemical resistance. Polyurethane spiders and split spiders provide fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.

High-Torque Set Screw Flexible Shaft Couplings
The thick split spider on these couplings takes on twice as much torque as standard split spiders, while a set screw holds the hubs in place on your shaft. Also known as jaw couplings, use them to connect motors to pumps, mixers, and other high-torque equipment. You don’t need to lubricate them.
For a complete coupling, you’ll need two hubs, one split spider, and a split spider cover (all sold separately).
Hubs attach to the end of your shaft.
Split spiders cushion between the two hubs to dampen vibration, reduce shocks, and handle shaft misalignment, extending the life of bearings, seals, and motors. You can replace them without having to remove the hubs or move your shaft and equipment around, which reduces the risk of needing to realign the shaft. Spiders with medium-soft hardness are the most commonly used and are good for applications that start, stop, and reverse often. Those with medium hardness handle higher torque than those with medium-soft hardness, but they don’t reduce vibration as well.
Split spider covers hold the spider in place.

Shaft Grounding Rings
Prevent motor downtime by protecting bearings from stray currents generated by variable frequency drives. These grounding rings create a path for stray currents, so they won't damage bearing surfaces. Use them on AC motors.
One-piece rings slide on from the end of the shaft. Two-piece rings simplify installation when motors are connected to equipment.
Use epoxies to install rings without having to drill or tap into motor frames.
Apply shaft coatings to motor shafts before installing the rings to improve the conductivity of the steel shaft surface that touches the grounding ring.
