In harsh and wet environments, Ruland Manufacturing Co. is now offering stainless steel shaft collars to prevent corrosion. Type 303 stainless steel, with its passivate surface finish, resists water and many commercial grade chemicals, such as chlorine and some acids. This material is suitable for wash-down applications such as those found in food processing and marine applications. The collars are available in one-and two-piece clamp-style designs with bore sizes from 1/8in to 6in in the inch series and 3mm to 80mm in the metric series. Threaded bore collars are also offered with inch and metric threads. All Ruland shaft collars are single point faced to ensure perpendicularity and proper alignment.
