Shaft Coupling uxcell Set Screw Black Oxide Steel 1/2″ Bore 1″ OD

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell shaft coupling is engineered to deliver precise torque transfer between rotating shafts while maintaining a compact footprint. Featuring a 1/2″ bore, 1″ outer diameter, and a 1-1/2″ overall length, this rigid set‑screw coupling is fabricated from high‑grade carbon steel that has been treated with a black oxide coating. The coating not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a sleek, industrial aesthetic that blends seamlessly into a wide range of equipment environments. The four set screws are strategically positioned to lock the coupling securely onto the shaft, eliminating slippage and minimizing vibration during operation. This design ensures consistent performance even under demanding load conditions, making it ideal for applications that require reliable power transmission over extended periods.

Technical specifications include a package dimension of 2.83 x 2.36 x 1.18 inches and a lightweight of 3.88 ounces, facilitating easy handling and storage. The coupling conforms to industry standards for rigid set‑screw couplings, and its dimensions are compatible with a broad spectrum of motor shafts and driven equipment. Whether you are outfitting a new system or retrofitting an existing line, the uxcell shaft coupling offers a straightforward, cost‑effective solution that does not compromise on durability or performance.

Usage

This coupling excels in a variety of industrial settings, ranging from small‑scale workshop machinery to large‑scale manufacturing lines. It is particularly well‑suited for connecting electric motors to pumps, generators, compressors, and conveyor systems where precise alignment and torque consistency are critical. The robust black oxide steel construction tolerates harsh environments, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, making it a dependable choice for outdoor installations and facilities with stringent cleanliness requirements.

Installation is intuitive: align the bore with the shaft, insert the four set screws, and tighten them to the recommended torque. The process can be completed with standard hand tools, reducing downtime and labor costs. Once installed, the coupling provides a rigid, backlash‑free connection that enhances the efficiency of the entire drive system. Users have reported smoother operation, reduced wear on adjacent components, and lower maintenance intervals as direct benefits of employing this coupling.

FAQ

What size shafts can this coupling accommodate?

The coupling is designed for a 1/2″ bore, which fits shafts with a diameter of 0.500 inches. It is compatible with standard motor shafts and can be used on a variety of equipment that matches this specification.

Is the black oxide coating sufficient for outdoor use?

Yes, the black oxide coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making the coupling suitable for outdoor installations and environments where moisture or chemicals may be present. For extreme conditions, additional protective measures such as sealing can be applied.

How do I determine the correct torque for the set screws?

We recommend tightening each set screw to the torque value specified in the product manual, typically between 5‑7 Nm (Newton‑meters). Using a calibrated torque wrench ensures optimal clamping force without damaging the shaft or the coupling.

Can this coupling be used with flexible shafts?

The uxcell shaft coupling is a rigid type and is intended for use with solid, non‑flexible shafts. For applications requiring flexibility or misalignment compensation, a flexible or universal coupling would be more appropriate.

What is the warranty period for this product?

All uxcell shaft couplings come with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues related to material or workmanship, contact our support team for a replacement or repair.
