Splitnut – Corrosion Resistant
Whittet-Higgins two-piece Splitnut threaded shaft collar for bearing & power transmission applications are slit from outside diameter to bore. The two sides of the slit are joined by hardened alloy socket head screws, allowing users to pull together the two sides of the locknut, reducing the overall thread diameter and securely fastening the Clampnut to the shaft or spindle threads
Benefits:
--Manufactured from corrosion resistant stainless steel
--Designed to be assembled onto shaft without removing other power transmission components
--Self-Locking
--Easier and faster to install than traditional locknut & lockwasher
--Allows infinite adjustment and preloading
--Designed for low speed applications where dynamic balance is not required
--Designed to prevent assemblies from loosening by forces of vibration, shock-loading, and torque
--Black oxide coated with wax finish to inhibit corrosion
--Tangent (X axis) to shaft adjustment and locking of retaining device
--Eliminates expensive cutting of keyway
--Manufactured in USA
--RoHS Compliant
Applications:
--Where power transmission components cannot be removed and a mechanical retainer is required
--Lower speed assemblies where dynamic balance is not required
--Where balanced assembly not required
--Linear ball screws and linear actuators
--Mining, mineral extraction, and drilling operations
--Slow speed rolls in processing equipment
--Numerous other machinery and equipment applications
