    (Each Component Sold

    Separately)

    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.

    Two-Piece Rigid Shaft Couplings

    Install and remove these shaft couplings without disconnecting the shafts, motors, and other attached components—they’re made in two pieces so you don’t need to slide them onto shaft ends. They’re also useful when you have limited access to the ends of the shafts. These couplings clamp onto the shafts, creating a secure hold that won’t mar them. Good for high-torque applications, they have a rigid construction. However, their rigidity means these couplings can only connect shafts that are well aligned.

    Steel couplings are stronger and handle higher torque loads than aluminum and stainless steel couplings.
    For Keyed Shafts—Couplings for keyed shafts have keyways that are cut to standard ANSI dimensions, so they fit snugly on ANSI keyed shafts to eliminate slipping during starts and stops.

    Bearing Adapter Sleeves

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Bearing Adapter Sleeves.
    Make up for imperfections and gaps between your bearing and shaft for a tight fit. These bearing adapter sleeves are the most common way to mount a bearing with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seat. They work with both straight and stepped shafts. Secure using the included lock nut.

    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.

    Hinged Shaft Collars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shaft Collars. Hinged Shaft 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.
