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.

Swivel Joints
Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.

Lubrication-Free Swivel Joints
A slippery PTFE liner reduces friction without the oily mess. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

Bearing Retaining Locknuts
With a nylon insert that grips your threaded shaft or spindle without damaging its threads, these locknuts—also called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys prone to vibration tightly in place. They come as one piece, so you can easily clamp them onto your shaft or spindle. But, since they aren’t made entirely of metal, they don’t stand up to heat as well as all-metal locknuts. Slots in their sides mean you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket. Their face is also chamfered to help keep the size and weight of your assembly at a minimum. All meet international standards for bearing locknut dimensions.
When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.
All carbon steel locknuts are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as stainless steel locknuts. Zinc-plated steel locknuts resist rusting from some moisture, but you shouldn’t use them with salt water or chemicals.
