Question: What quick clamping shaft collar is best for an axial load application?
Answer: In this case, the quick clamping shaft collar with clamping lever is the most suitable alternative. Poles often have a tolerance that is not conducive to the use of the style with the cam lever. Depending on the tolerances on the top end of the band, the collar will not fit over the end. If it's on the low end of the band it may be impossible to clamp the collar down and if it's too big the collar may end up being too loose and just flopping around the shaft. The quick release shaft collars with clamping lever are a new product for us and are especially useful in this type of an application. On a pole the two piece collar is ideal because it can accommodate slightly wider tolerances than a one piece type. This does come at the expense of holding power. We confirmed with the user that the static axial load requirement of this application is only 100 pounds. This shouldn't be a problem for an 1-1/2" collar but, as always, we recommend you test it out.
