Product Overview: The SC 30 Set Screw Shaft Collar
The SC 30 is a fundamental and highly effective mechanical component, designed to securely position parts on a 30mm shaft. With an outer diameter of 50mm and a width of 18mm, this shaft collar provides a simple, cost-effective solution for creating mechanical stops, locating components, and preventing axial movement in a wide range of machinery. Its design incorporates a set screw that, when tightened, impinges on the shaft to create a firm hold. This makes the SC 30 an indispensable part of our Bearing Accessories collection, essential for ensuring the proper assembly and function of power transmission systems.
As a key supplier of industrial parts, we provide SC 30 shaft collars manufactured from high-quality materials to ensure reliable performance and durability. They are commonly used alongside bearings to lock them in place, preventing any unwanted shifting during operation. Whether you are building new equipment or performing maintenance, the SC 30 offers a straightforward and dependable method for component positioning.
