    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.
    Split spider covers hold the spider in place.

    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.
    A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider, or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring (all components sold separately). Split spiders are easier to install and replace than standard spiders because there’s no need for tools or removing your hubs. Twist-lock them in place using a retaining ring.
    Buna-N—Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance.
    Hytrel—Hytrel spiders provide fair vibration damping and excellent chemical resistance.

    Use these gear-shaped couplings for high-speed and high-torque applications. A rubber center allows flexing so couplings can take on multiple types of misalignment while damping vibration and shock. With no metal-to-metal contact, there’s no need for lubrication. Fasten to your shafts by tightening the set screws, which bite into the shaft to hold it.
    A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one center (each component sold separately).
    Hubs have a keyway, except hubs for 1⁄4" and 3⁄8" shaft dia. do not have a keyway.

    Strong-Grip Two-Piece Rigid Shaft Couplings

    These couplings have the gripping strength to handle higher torque than most other couplings. Install them anywhere on a shaft without removing components or having access to the ends of the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure. Good for high-torque applications, rigid couplings connect two shafts that are aligned, allowing for no relative movement between the shafts.

    Flange-Mount Shaft Collars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shaft Collars. Flange-Mount Shaft Collars.
    Use the tapped and unthreaded holes on the flange to mount components as needed. To install, slide these collars from one end of your shaft and tighten the clamping screws. The collars grip firmly and evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove them later. Collars with keyways have a standard ANSI keyway to lock in place shafts, keys, and key stock.
    Black-Oxide Carbon Steel—Dark and matted for a finished look, but with minimal corrosion resistance. Best for dry environments.
    303 Stainless Steel—Withstand moisture and mild cleaning solutions, such as acetone and ammonia. These are easier to machine than other stainless steel collars.

    Combine the versatility of a two-piece collar with the no-fuss installation of a one-piece design. These hinged collars swing open and shut onto your shaft when other components are already attached or you can't access the ends. The clamping screw is captive so it won't fall out, and it aligns itself in the hole when the collar swings shut.
