The process of selecting small inch size drive components for new prototypes or production applications just became easier.
The clamps are made of two separate sections held together by two supplied cap screws.
They can be installed in the middle of a shaft without disturbing the end components, and can hold a gear by squeezing the split hub of the gear against the shaft.
The clamps are capable of gripping the shaft without marring it, and their circular outer surface minimises rotational imbalance.
Made of 303 stainless steel, or anodised 2024-T351 aluminium, the clamps are available in two widths, 0.156 and 0.250in, for use on shafts ranging in diameter from 0.125 to 0.313in.
The two clamp diameters offered are 0.875 and 0.5625in.
Availability is from stock.
Prices in single unit quantity start from $11.70.
