The International Series series of one- and two-piece clamp-style shaft collars suit retrofits and new equipment for a global market. They feature inch or metric bores, DIN 12.9 socket headed cap screws, high grade materials and finishes, and an attractive and practical form. The use of metric screws with inch bores is especially useful when either retrofitting or designing equipment with inch shafts for worldwide use.

The shaft collars are available in aluminum with an anodized finish and stainless steel screws, lead-free carbon steel, stainless steel and engineered plastic. Bores sizes offered range from 3 mm (1/8 in.) to 150 mm (6 in.).

The NS2 Series non-spill couplings create fast, safe, and virtually leak-free fluid line connections. For printing and ink management, analytical instrumentation, electronic cooling, and other applications, the couplings transfer large amounts of fluid, yet they physically take up little space. The couplings’ use a twist-to-connect locking mechanism.

Double-sided non-spill shutoff valves add safety and convenience. The couplings offer hose barb terminations and are available for tubing in ? in. (3.2 mm) and ¼ in. (6.4 mm) ID. Configurations include pipe thread, in-line and panel mount.
