Climax Part CC-100-050 Mild Steel, Black Oxide Plating Clamping Coupling, 1 inch X 1/2 inch bore, 2 inch OD, 3 inch Length, 1/4-28 x 5/8 Set Screw

Description

Product Overview

The Climax Part CC-100-050 is a precision‑engineered clamp‑on coupling designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial and scientific environments. Constructed from high‑grade mild steel, the coupling offers a robust structural foundation that resists deformation under heavy axial loads and torque transmission. A black oxide surface treatment adds a layer of corrosion resistance, extending service life even in humid or chemically aggressive settings. The coupling features a 1‑inch outer diameter, a 1/2‑inch bore, and a 2‑inch overall diameter, providing a compact yet powerful solution for a wide range of shaft sizes. The set screw is a 1/4‑28 thread with a 5/8‑inch length, recessed to maintain a flush exterior surface, reducing the risk of snagging on adjacent components. This design ensures that the coupling fully engages the shaft without marring the surface, preserving the integrity of both the shaft and the coupling during installation and operation. The product dimensions—3 × 1.9 × 1.8 inches and a weight of just 0.01 ounces—make it easy to handle, store, and integrate into existing assemblies. With a proven track record since its first release in November 2013, the CC‑100‑050 has earned a reputation for reliability, reflected in its 5‑star customer rating and its ranking among the top rigid clamp‑on couplings in the market.

Usage

This coupling excels in applications where both hard and soft shafts are present, such as in conveyor systems, gearboxes, and material handling equipment. Its ability to transmit high axial loads makes it suitable for heavy‑duty machinery, including presses, extruders, and industrial pumps. The black oxide coating provides an added layer of protection for installations in outdoor facilities, chemical processing plants, or any environment where moisture and contaminants could accelerate corrosion. The recessed set screw design ensures a smooth exterior, which is particularly valuable in safety‑critical settings where protruding hardware could pose a hazard to operators or interfere with moving parts. Installation is straightforward: the coupling slides onto the shaft, the set screw is tightened to the specified torque, and the assembly is ready for operation. Because the coupling does not require additional machining or welding, downtime is minimized, and maintenance crews can quickly replace worn components without specialized tools. The CC‑100‑050 is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as keyways and locking devices, allowing engineers to customize the connection for specific performance requirements.

FAQ

What shaft sizes are compatible with the CC‑100‑050?

The coupling is designed for a 1‑inch outer diameter and a 1/2‑inch bore, making it compatible with shafts that fall within these dimensions. It works well on both hardened and softer shaft materials, provided the shaft surface is clean and free of debris before installation.

How does the black oxide finish affect performance?

The black oxide coating provides a thin, protective layer that improves resistance to rust and mild chemical exposure. While it does not significantly alter the mechanical strength of the mild steel, it helps maintain the coupling’s appearance and functionality over time, especially in environments with moisture or light corrosive agents.

Can the set screw be replaced with a different type of fastener?

The standard set screw is a 1/4‑28 thread with a 5/8‑inch length, recessed to keep the exterior smooth. If a different fastener is required for a specific application, it can be substituted provided the replacement maintains the same thread pitch and does not protrude beyond the coupling’s outer surface.

What maintenance is recommended for long‑term use?

Regular visual inspections are advised to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening of the set screw. Periodic torque checks ensure the set screw remains properly tightened. If the coupling is exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme humidity, cleaning with a mild solvent and re‑applying a protective lubricant can help preserve performance.

Is the CC‑100‑050 suitable for high‑speed applications?

While the coupling is robust for high axial loads, its suitability for high‑speed rotation depends on the specific system dynamics and balance. For speeds exceeding typical industrial ranges, engineers should evaluate vibration characteristics and consider additional balancing measures or alternative coupling designs.
