SCS Split Shaft Collar Kit — Precision Shaft Fixation & Limit Control
When machinery alignment slips or shaft components shift under load, the consequences range from costly downtime to catastrophic failure. Engineers, machinists, and DIY builders who demand repeatable, zero-drift positioning need a fixation system they can trust. The SCS Split Shaft Collar Kit is engineered for exactly that — delivering rock-solid shaft control across a wide range of industrial and precision applications.
This comprehensive kit combines adjustable locking clamps, retaining rings, bearing retainers, and positioning rings into one integrated solution. Available in shaft sizes from 3 mm to 60 mm (approximately 0.12" to 2.36"), the collars are precision-machined from high-strength aluminum (other configurations available), offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for both static and dynamic applications.
Whether you're building a conveyor system, assembling a robotics platform, maintaining an industrial pump, or setting up a precision optical axis, the SCS Split Shaft Collar Kit provides the reliable retention and positioning accuracy your project demands — from light-duty automation to high-torque industrial machinery.
✅ Compatible with round shafts from 3 mm to 60 mm in diameter — suitable for conveyor systems, pumps, robotics, optical axes, turbines, and general precision machinery.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What components are included in the SCS Split Shaft Collar Kit?
The kit includes adjustable locking clamps, retaining rings, bearing retainers, and positioning rings — providing a complete multi-component shaft fixation solution in one package.
What shaft sizes does this collar kit fit?
The kit is available in sizes from 3 mm to 60 mm (approximately 0.12" to 2.36") to accommodate a wide range of shaft diameters. Please select the correct size variant for your application.
Do I need to remove the shaft to install the collar?
No. The split clamp design allows installation directly onto the shaft without disassembly, saving significant time and labor during installation or repositioning.
What material is the collar made from?
The standard configuration is machined from high-strength aluminum, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Alloy steel configurations are also available depending on the variant selected.
Is this kit suitable for high-vibration or high-torque environments?
Yes. The precision-machined split collar and locking clamp mechanism is designed to maintain secure clamping force under vibration, heavy loads, and high-torque conditions typically found in industrial machinery and automation systems.
Can I use this collar kit for optical axis or precision machinery applications?
Absolutely. The SCS Split Shaft Collar Kit is well-suited for optical axis assemblies, lead screws, and precision machinery where stable, vibration-resistant shaft fixation is required.
How do I adjust the collar position on the shaft?
Loosen the locking clamp screws, slide the collar to the desired position along the shaft, then re-tighten the screws to the recommended torque. The split design makes repositioning quick and straightforward without special tools.
