A new lever-actuated, hinged shaft collar for non-rotary applications such as moving gates, sensor heights, stops, and spacers has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts. The Staff-Lok™ Hinged Shaft Collar is easy to install and simple to adjust and lock in place by just lifting the conformal cam lever, moving it along a shaft, tube, or pipe and then retightening by hand. Featuring a knurled adjustment screw, this hinged clamping collar never requires tools and is ideally suited for non-rotary applications involving fast, frequent, or temporary relocation. Available in 1/2” to 4” I.D. sizes, the Staff-Lok™ Hinged Shaft Collar is machined from steel and has a smooth bore. It can also be supplied with custom bore designs for joining flanges and with custom features for attaching sensors or other devices. A one-piece design is also available. Applications include EOAT, automation, conveyors, and packaging machinery. The Staff-Lok™ Hinged Shaft Collar is priced according to size and quantity.
