Black Oxide Clamp On Coupling Climax Metal CC-050-037 1/2″ x 3/8″ Bore

Description

Product Overview

The CC-050-037 black oxide plated clamp‑on coupling is a precision‑engineered component designed for demanding industrial power‑transmission applications. Constructed from mild steel with a black‑oxide finish, the coupling provides a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and visual identification for maintenance crews. With a 1/2‑inch by 3/8‑inch bore, a 1‑1/4‑inch outside diameter, and a total length of 1‑7/8 inches, it fits a wide range of shaft sizes while maintaining a compact profile. The design incorporates a recessed #8‑32 set screw that sits flush with the coupling surface, eliminating protruding hardware that could interfere with adjacent components or pose a safety hazard. This coupling is part of Climax Metal Products’ long‑standing catalog of rigid clamp‑on solutions, recognized for high axial load capacity and reliable torque transmission.

Usage

Designed for both hard and soft shafts, the CC-050-037 excels in environments where vibration, temperature fluctuations, and occasional exposure to moisture are common. It is frequently installed in conveyor systems, gearboxes, pump assemblies, and material‑handling equipment where a secure, non‑slipping connection is critical. The coupling’s black‑oxide coating offers a modest level of corrosion protection, making it suitable for indoor factories as well as outdoor installations that are sheltered from direct weather exposure. Maintenance technicians appreciate the ease of installation: the coupling slides onto the shaft, aligns with the bore, and the set screw is tightened to the recommended torque, creating a firm, repeatable connection without the need for additional tools or complex procedures. Its compact size allows it to be used in tight spaces where larger couplings would be impractical.

FAQ

What shaft sizes are compatible with the CC-050-037?

The coupling is designed for a 1/2‑inch bore and a 3/8‑inch bore, making it suitable for shafts within that range. It can accommodate slight variations in shaft diameter due to its clamp‑on design, but for optimal performance we recommend staying within the specified dimensions.

How do I install the recessed set screw correctly?

First, clean the shaft surface to remove any debris or oil. Slide the coupling onto the shaft until the bore aligns with the shaft. Insert the #8‑32 set screw through the recessed hole and tighten it to the manufacturer‑specified torque, typically between 5‑7 in‑lb. The recessed design ensures the screw head sits flush, preventing interference with nearby components.

Is the black‑oxide finish sufficient for outdoor use?

The black‑oxide coating provides a modest level of corrosion resistance suitable for sheltered outdoor environments. For exposure to harsh weather or chemicals, additional protective measures such as a sealant or a stainless‑steel variant may be advisable.

Can this coupling be used in high‑speed applications?

While the CC-050-037 is engineered for robust torque transmission, it is best suited for moderate speed ranges typical of industrial machinery. For very high‑speed applications, a coupling specifically rated for those conditions should be selected.

What warranty does Climax Metal Products offer?

Climax Metal Products provides a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Should any issue arise within the warranty period, contact the support team for a replacement or repair solution.
