# What Are Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars Used For?

Shaft Collars · Trade series (two-piece clamp-type shaft collars) · Application guide

Typical applications, the industries that specify two-piece clamp shaft collars, and how to choose the right size, material and finish for the joint.

Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars are used for the mechanical function defined by its drawing and dimensional table. They are manufactured to Trade series (two-piece clamp-type shaft collars), and selection is driven by the bore diameter, the fit and tolerance the assembly requires, and the service environment.

- **Primary duty:** The mechanical function defined by its drawing and dimensional table
- **Governing standard:** Trade series (two-piece clamp-type shaft collars)
- **Bore diameter range:** 8 mm to 40 mm
- **Category:** Shaft Collars

Application notes are general engineering guidance. Verify the property class and any approval requirement against your own design calculation.

Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars are used primarily for the mechanical function defined by its drawing and dimensional table. This page lists the industries and assemblies where they are specified, the selection criteria that matter for each application, installation practice, and the cases where a different fastener type is the correct choice. Parts are supplied to Trade series (two-piece clamp-type shaft collars). Stocked across roughly 8 mm to 40 mm, they cover general to heavy-duty work.

## Typical Applications for Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars

The most common settings where these are specified:

- **General machine building:** fastening covers, brackets, motors and sub-assemblies on production equipment.
- **Maintenance & repair (MRO):** a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
- **Fabrication & metalwork:** bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.

## How to Specify Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars for Your Application

- **Size:** Select on bore diameter, and confirm it against the mating feature in the assembly. This product spans 8 mm–40 mm; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
- **Material:** Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
- **Environment:** For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- **Standard:** This product is supplied to Trade series (two-piece clamp-type shaft collars). Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.

## Where Two-Piece Clamp Shaft Collars Are Not the Right Choice

Match the fastener to the load, environment and whether the joint must be reopened; the wrong class or style is the usual cause of joint failure.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

## Need a two-piece clamp shaft collars outside the standard range?

A non-standard shaft collar is quoted from the drawing; where one already exists in the catalog, the special is usually a variation on its tooling. Made by thread turning or turning.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
