Hex & D Bore Shaft Collars

Hex & D bore shaft collars are types of mechanical components used to secure a shaft or rod in place. They are typically made of steel, aluminum, or stainless steel and consist of a cylindrical ring with a set screw or other fastening mechanism to grip the shaft.

A hex bore shaft collar has a hexagonal-shaped hole in the center, allowing it to be easily tightened or loosened with a hex wrench. These types of shaft collars are often used in applications where frequent adjustments or removals of the collar are necessary.

A D bore shaft collar has a D-shaped hole in the center, which provides a tight grip on the shaft and prevents it from rotating. These types of collars are often used in applications where precise alignment is required, such as in robotics or automation systems.

Both hex and D bore shaft collars are commonly used in a variety of industrial and mechanical applications, including in machinery, conveyor systems, and robotics. They are often used in conjunction with other components, such as bearings or pulleys, to provide secure and reliable shaft support.
