Question: How much torque will cause a shaft collar to slip on the shaft?
Answer: This is a common question we get with shaft collars when they are used in positive drive applications. We haven't published ratings because we haven't tested them. However, we can come up with a theoretical calculation to help guide you in selection. In this case, we gave the user 800 lbs-in. We always recommend testing because the theoretical calculation can't account for specifics in your environment, such as shaft material, temperature, oil, grease, or other contaminants that may be on the shaft. Anything like that. We always recommend testing.
