Choosing the right option

Choose the collar by shaft diameter. The bore tolerance is +0.0005 to +0.002" for bores up to 1", so the collar fits closely on a shaft of the nominal size.

The grub screw bites into the shaft, so a set screw collar is most effective on a shaft made of a softer material, and it can mark the shaft surface. Where the shaft must not be marked, use a clamp type collar: see Shaft Collar, One-Piece Split Clamp Type, Black Oxide Steel, Imperial, FSC-1/4-CL to FSC-2-CL or Shaft Collar, Two-Piece Split Clamp Type, Black Oxide Steel, Imperial, FSC-1/4-SP to FSC-2-SP.

Other set screw collars are on Shaft Collar, Zinc Plated Steel, Set Screw Type, Metric, FSC-6 to FSC-50, Shaft Collar, 304 Stainless Steel, Set Screw Type, Imperial, SSFSC-3/8 to SSFSC-2. and Shaft Collar, 304 Stainless Steel, Set Screw Type, Metric, SSFSC-10 to SSFSC-50.

Slide the collar onto the shaft, set its position and tighten the grub screw firmly. On machines that vibrate, check the grub screw regularly.
