Description
Product Overview
The Black Oxide clamp‑on coupling from Climax Metal is engineered from high‑grade mild steel and finished with a durable black oxide coating that offers a measure of corrosion resistance while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance. With a 5/8″ x 1/2″ bore and a 1‑1/2″ outside diameter, the coupling provides a robust mechanical interface that can handle demanding axial loads and torque requirements in a variety of industrial settings.
Designed with a recessed #10‑32 set screw, the coupling engages the shaft securely without marring the surface, ensuring a clean installation and reliable long‑term performance. The black oxide finish not only adds visual appeal but also helps to guard against moisture and abrasive particles, extending the service life of the component even in harsh environments.
Effective on both hard and soft shafts, this rigid clamp‑on coupling is suitable for power transmission applications ranging from motor drives to conveyor systems. Its compact 2‑1/4″ length and 1‑1/2″ outside diameter make it easy to integrate into tight spaces while delivering the high axial load capacity required for heavy‑duty operations.
Usage
In industrial plants, the coupling is commonly used to connect shafts on pumps, gearboxes, and variable‑frequency drives where precise alignment and torque transfer are critical. Its simple clamp‑on design allows for quick installation and removal, reducing downtime during maintenance or equipment upgrades.
The corrosion‑resistant black oxide coating makes the coupling well‑suited for outdoor installations, marine environments, and facilities with high humidity, where exposure to moisture could otherwise accelerate rust formation. Regular inspection and occasional re‑torquing of the set screw will keep the connection secure throughout its service life.
Installation is straightforward: slide the coupling onto the shaft, align the set screw with the recessed hole, and tighten to the recommended torque. The design eliminates the need for additional fasteners or complex alignment tools, allowing technicians to achieve a reliable fit with minimal effort.

FAQ
What shaft sizes are compatible with this coupling?
The coupling is sized for a 5/8″ bore on the driven shaft and a 1/2″ bore on the driving shaft, making it ideal for standard motor and equipment shafts within those dimensions.
Can the black oxide coating be removed or re‑applied?
The black oxide coating is a surface treatment that adheres strongly to the steel. It is not intended to be removed; if the coating becomes damaged, the part should be replaced to maintain corrosion resistance.
How much axial load can this coupling handle?
While exact load ratings depend on the specific installation, the coupling is designed for high axial loads typical of rigid clamp‑on applications, providing reliable performance in heavy‑duty settings.
Is a special tool required to tighten the set screw?
A standard #10‑32 hex driver or screwdriver is sufficient to tighten the set screw to the recommended torque. No specialized equipment is needed for installation.
What warranty does Climax Metal offer for this product?
Climax Metal provides a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase, along with access to technical support for installation and troubleshooting.
