Aluminum Shaft Collars & Couplings
Aluminum shaft collars and couplings are precision components that position, secure, and connect rotating equipment. Their lightweight, corrosion-resistant design makes them ideal for applications that require reliable performance without added mass.
Dayton Superior Products offers a wide range of aluminum options built for tight tolerances and consistent, long-term function in even the most demanding environments.
Why Choose Aluminum Shaft Collars?
Aluminum shaft collars and couplings provide a strong, lightweight alternative to steel or stainless components.
For systems where weight, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency matter, aluminum delivers the performance you can rely on.
Lightweight Performance
Aluminum’s low density helps reduce overall assembly weight, which improves energy efficiency in motion-driven systems.
Dayton’s aluminum shaft couplings and collars are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, balancing strength and weight for high-speed, mobile equipment use. The reduced load benefits motors, actuators, and other moving components where efficiency is absolutely critical.
Durability in Demanding Environments
Aluminum shaft collars and couplings maintain their integrity over time in demanding applications like lab automation, packaging lines, or mild outdoor use. Because they are both lightweight and corrosion-resistant, these shaft collars and couplings are reliable choices when weight or weather may affect your operations.
At Dayton Superior Products, we’re proud to manufacture every component to tight tolerances, ensuring repeated function day after day, year after year.
