Collar Technical Information
 

INSTALLATION:

Verify that both the shaft and collar dimensions are accurate and match.
Clean both the bore of the collar and the shaft.
Lightly oil the shaft.
Place the collar on the shaft where required and hand tighten the screw(s) until snug.
Tighten the screw(s) to the fully recommended seating torque.
When installing a collar with two screws it is important the screws are tightened evenly
When installing a split collar, it is important that a small gap remain between the two halves of the collar.

RELIEF CUT:

All Force single split collars have a relief cut, or saw cut, opposite the cap screw on the inside diameter. The relief cut allows the collar to better flex providing greater holding power as well as helping the collar to tighten undersized shafts.

AXIAL HOLDING POWER :

The screw size is the primary determining factor of a collar’s axial holding power. The following tables display the approximate maximum axial load that a collar can hold without slippage. The following data is based upon proper installation and recommended screw seating torque. The following data is to serve as a guide only and is not a guarantee. As every application is different, we recommend customers test their individual applications in order to select the appropriate collar.
