SUA-050 Climax Rigid Clamp On Coupling Black Oxide Half Inch Bore

Description

Product Overview

The SUA 050 from Climax Metal Products Company is engineered as a high‑performance rigid clamp‑on coupling designed for demanding industrial applications. Constructed from mild steel and finished with a black oxide coating, the unit offers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the strength required for torque transmission. With a 1/2 inch bore, a 3/4 inch outer diameter, and a total length of 1 1/4 inches, the adapter fits seamlessly into existing shaft assemblies, providing a secure, non‑marred connection that aligns perfectly with the driven component. The design incorporates an 8‑32 x 1/2 set screw, ensuring a firm grip that prevents slippage under load. Dimensions of 2.6 x 2.7 x 2.2 inches and a weight of 9.6 ounces make the part compact yet robust, suitable for a wide range of machinery ranging from pumps to conveyors.

Usage

This coupling is ideal for environments where reliable torque transmission and precise shaft alignment are critical. It excels in applications such as motor‑driven equipment, gearboxes, and rotary tables where space constraints demand a compact solution. The black oxide finish adds a layer of protection against moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for both indoor factories and outdoor installations exposed to the elements. Installation is straightforward: the adapter can be mounted without the need to dismantle the entire system, saving valuable maintenance time and reducing downtime. Whether you are upgrading an existing shaft to a larger diameter or need a quick method to join two shafts, the SUA 050 delivers consistent performance across a variety of industrial settings.

FAQ

What size shaft can the SUA 050 accommodate?

The adapter is designed for a 1/2 inch bore, allowing it to fit shafts up to that diameter and increase the effective outer diameter to 3/4 inch.

Is the black oxide coating sufficient for outdoor use?

Yes, the black oxide finish provides a level of corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor environments, though additional protective measures can be applied for extreme conditions.

Can the coupling be installed on rotating equipment without stopping the machine?

While the design allows for quick installation, it is recommended to stop the equipment to ensure proper alignment and safety during the set‑screw tightening process.

What is the recommended torque for the set screw?

Climax Metal advises tightening the 8‑32 set screw to a torque of approximately 2‑3 ft‑lb to achieve a secure fit without over‑compressing the shaft.

Does the product come with a warranty?

Yes, the SUA 050 is covered by Climax Metal’s standard warranty, which includes replacement for any manufacturing defects within the specified period.
