Shaft collar or metal collar is an annular sealing element commonly used in the lubrication systems of mechanical equipment. Its primary function is to ensure the reliability of sealing components and prevent oil or gas leakage.

In hydraulic systems, shaft collars are effective in preventing high-pressure liquid leakage by being placed inside the retaining ring, where they compress outward against the sealing surface. This creates a secure seal.

In pneumatic systems, shaft collars are installed at the bottom of the ring seam of the gas joint, applying inward pressure to maintain airtightness. Their robust design makes them essential for efficient operation in various applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the main types of shaft collars and their applications?

Shaft collars come in various types, including set screw collars, clamp collars (one-piece and two-piece), and hinged collars. Set screw collars are suitable for simple positioning but can damage the shaft. Clamp collars provide a secure hold without marring the shaft, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments. Two-piece collars allow for easy installation and repositioning without removing other components, making them versatile for complex assemblies.

How do shaft collars prevent leakage in hydraulic and pneumatic systems?

In hydraulic systems, shaft collars create a secure seal by being placed inside a retaining ring, where they compress outward against the sealing surface to prevent high-pressure liquid leakage. In pneumatic systems, they are installed at the gas joint’s bottom seam, applying inward pressure to maintain airtightness, effectively preventing gas leakage.

What materials are shaft collars made from, and how do they affect performance?

Shaft collars are typically made from materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, and nylon. The choice of material affects the collar’s durability, corrosion resistance, and overall performance. For example, stainless steel collars offer superior strength and resistance to harsh environments, while nylon collars are lightweight and suitable for applications requiring non-metallic components.
