Climax Metal Black Oxide Clamp-On Coupling 1/2″ Bore, 1-1/8″ OD

Description

Product Overview

The Climax Metal Black Oxide Clamp-On Coupling is a precision‑engineered rigid coupling designed for demanding industrial environments. Constructed from mild steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this coupling provides a balance of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Its dimensions—1/2″ bore, 1‑1/8″ outside diameter, and 1‑3/4″ overall length—make it a versatile choice for a wide range of power transmission applications. The coupling features a tolerance of +.003/-.000, ensuring a tight, slip‑free fit that engages the shaft without marring the surface. The included #8‑32 x 1/2″ clamp screw simplifies installation while maintaining a secure, repeatable connection.

Usage

Designed for both hard and soft shafts, this clamp‑on coupling excels in machinery that experiences high axial loads and torque demands. Typical use cases include motor shafts, pump assemblies, gearboxes, and conveyor systems where a reliable, non‑rotating connection is essential. The black oxide finish adds a layer of protection against moisture and chemicals, extending service life in harsh environments such as manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and outdoor installations. Installation requires only a standard #8‑32 screw, making it suitable for field repairs and quick change‑over situations, reducing downtime and labor costs.
