Overview
The Ruland MCL-13-SS is a one-piece shaft collar engineered for precision shaft guiding, spacing, stopping, and component alignment. This 13mm bore collar features 303 stainless steel construction, making it ideal for corrosion-resistant applications across industrial, automation, and maintenance environments.
Key Features
- Non-Marring Clamp Design: Clamp style design does not mar the shaft, is easy to remove, and is indefinitely adjustable
- Tight Perpendicularity Tolerance: Tightly controlled face to bore perpendicularity (TIR of ≤ .05mm), critical for alignment when used as a load bearing face, mechanical stop, or for mounting components such as gears or bearings
- Corrosion Resistance: 303 stainless steel material for harsh or wet environments
- Simple Installation: Use as received, wipe bore clean, apply light oil to shaft, place collar with groove as work surface, tighten with 3.0mm hex wrench until slight resistance, then wring into final position and torque to 2.5 Nm
- Bulk Pack: Supplied as a bag of 8 units, new in box
