This Climax Metal setscrew shaft collar is made of aluminum. It is a setscrew-type shaft collar for applications supporting low axial loads and simple positioning. Setscrew collars have improved holding power when the shaft material is softer than the setscrew material. It is made of aluminum for resistance to corrosion and tarnishing and is lightweight for use in applications where material weight is a consideration. This collar comes with a socket setscrew for securing the collar onto the shaft. The operating temperatures for this collar range from -40 to 104 degrees C (-40 to 220 degrees F). This shaft collar is suitable for use in various applications, including in the automotive industry to situate components in automobile power steering assemblies, the manufacturing industry to locate components on a conveyor belt system, and the hobby craft industry to hold wheels on axles in remote control vehicles, among others.Shaft collars are ring-shaped devices primarily used to secure components onto shafts. They also serve as locators, mechanical stops, and spacers between other components. The two basic types of shaft collars are clamping (or split) collars, which come in one- or two-piece designs, and setscrew collars. In both types, one or more screws hold the collars in place on the shaft. In setscrew collars, screws are tightened through the collar until they press directly against the shaft, and in clamping collars, screws are tightened to uniformly compress the collar around the shaft without impinging or marring it. Setscrew collars and one-piece clamping collars must be installed by sliding the collar over the end of the shaft, while two-piece clamping collars separate into two halves and can be installed between components on the shaft. Shaft collars are made from a wide range of materials including zinc-plated steel, aluminum, nylon, and neoprene. Found in nearly every type of machinery and industry, shaft collars are used in applications including gearbox assemblies, motor bases, machine tools, drive shafts, agricultural implements, medical equipment, and paper and steel mill equipment, among others.Climax Metal Products Company (CLIMAX) manufactures shaft collars, rigid couplings, keyless locking devices, pulleys, keyless bushings, and bearings for the power transmission industry and industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) markets. The company, founded in 1946, and headquartered in Mentor, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 quality assurance standards.

Is it really 1/8? opr am I wrong.
My dial calipers said 1/8 on the model shaft. This product says 1/8 but it did not fit, too small.I cannot say for absolute certain where the issue is.Is it like lumber??? 4 inch wood is actually 3.5 inches??Or is the shaft 1/8 inch plus .02???But I feel like the 1/8 maybe included the Chamfer??? but not sure.

Works well for our purposes
I have a bird feeder that uses a metal tab under which when bent is supposed to keep squirrels from removing the top of the bird feeder and helping themselves. Over time, those metal pieces became easy to move. I was looking for another solution and noticed these set screw collars and thought that they might work. I slide them onto the wire that guides the top of the feeder, set the set screws and it all works like a charm. Squirrels foiled, and much easier for me to undo than the old rube goldberg mechanism involving small pieces of folded metal, bolts and butterfly nuts! I'm a happy camper.

Perfect
These work perfectly for their intended purpose as collars for drill bits and endmills.

Look good but do not clamp closed
It's probably just a basic design flaw but the tap screw can't tighten enough to hold a braided cable. We used these to make a hanging clothes hanger for baby clothes. The clamps couldn't even take the weight of 20 hung baby clothes...
