How to Install a Double Split Shaft Collar
When it comes to keeping things in place, a double split shaft collar is the standard in power transmission. You might wonder where these collars fit in. Well, they are like the trusty anchor in various machines, from conveyor systems in factories to the intricate power transmission systems in cars. Even in the world of robotics, they are the unsung heroes, keeping things in place so then can continue to move smoothly and precisely.
To install a double split shaft collar, you have two options. First, you can slide the collar on to the shaft from one end, ensuring it is positioned correctly before tightening. Alternatively, you can take the collar apart, wrap it around the shaft, and then reassemble it, providing flexibility in tight spaces or when the shaft is already in place. To secure the collar, typically you use an Allen wrench to tighten the two side screws. Tighten the screws evenly around the collar, ensuring a secure grip without causing any imbalance.
