Mountable shaft collars with face holes are designed to mate directly with components such as sprockets, pulleys, and metallic plates. Ruland manufactures them with drilled holes for mounting flexibility or threaded holes for the most secure connection between the collar and mated component. They are offered in steel, aluminum, and 303 stainless steel in bore sizes ranging from 3/8” to 2” and 10mm to 50mm.
Clamp style universal joints improve over set screw style because they do not mar the shaft, offer infinite adjustability, and can be used on all shaft types. Ruland is the only North American supplier of clamp style universal joints and manufactures the clamp feature, bores, and keyways in our advanced manufacturing facility in Marlborough, MA USA. They are available in sizes from 1/4" to 1 1/4” in steel for high strength and stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Quick clamping shaft collars are quick and easy to install and reposition, but what applications are they suited for?
Transcript
Location: Cincinnati, OH Question: Can I use a quick clamping shaft collar to act as a safety stop for a cable stop? Answer:No way. Quick clamps are not suitable in this type of an application. They have limited axial holding power when compared to standard collars. In this application, a shaft collar is not recommended all together. They are designed for use on precision shafting. Axial load ratings and calculations are based on round bore shafting with a nominal tolerance. When even surface contact is not present the holding power of any shaft collar is drastically decreased. In this application, where axial holding power is critical and the collar is going to be used as a safety stop, it's definitely not recommended to use a shaft collar and the user should find a suitable alternative.
