Accu-Clamp Precision Products

Since 1975, Stafford Manufacturing has been a leading manufacturer and distributor of high quality rigid shaft couplings, shaft collars, and specialty components for use in a variety of motion control, transmission, and automation systems. In addition, we specialize in the design and fabrication of components for use in a variety of OEM and MRO applications. Our focus on innovation allows us to develop new solutions to meet the evolving challenges of industrial and automation technology, including specialty shaft collars and couplings.

Shaft collars are a critical aspect of nearly any complex mechanical design. They are used to impede, direct, and secure components in a variety of motion control equipment. Although the original shaft collar design was a single ring with a screw, numerous modifications have been made in order to meet the demanding needs of more complex systems.

Stafford’s Accu-Clamp ™ products feature both a non-clamping section and a clamping section. The non-clamping section consists of a rigid bore capable of maintaining shape during use without flexing or distorting. The cantilevered clamping section offers flexible, proportionally distributed, non-marring holding power.

Our patented Accu-Clamp ™ products take the benefits of clamping collars to the next level.

Types of Accu-Clamp Precision Products

Our patented Accu-Clamp ™ products feature a unique construction, offering several functional advantages not possible with standard clamping collars. The close-tolerance, highly precise design of these products makes them suitable for a diverse range of applications.

Accu-Clamp™ Collars

Accu-Clamp™ Collars combine a non-marring clamp with a solid working face that is either fully machineable or hardened and ground. The machineable Accu-Clamp™ Collar can be used as is, or modified by drilling, tapping, threading, turning, knurling, etc. The hardened and ground Accu-Clamp™ Collar provides an ultra-precise bearing surface for applications that require extreme squareness and flatness.

Featuring a unique construction, Stafford’s Accu-Clamp ™ products have a precision machined face that is flat to the shaft within 0.001 TIR. They also feature a slotless design, allowing for an uninterrupted outside diameter surface that can be machined, knurled, or profiled to meet the demands of any application. The slotless design also means that the face offers a full 360° surface that can be hardened, ground, flanged, or machined to meet various mounting and tolerance requirements

Accu-Flange™ Shaft Collars

Accu-Flange™ Collars, Accu-Flange™ Mounting Collars, and Metric Accu-Flange™ Shaft Mounting Collars are machineable flange collars that can be configured by the user to perform a wide range of applications such as a pulley, cam, or component mounting device. Featuring an integral clamp incorporating a double-split design and relief groove, this clamping flange collar retains its perpendicularity, will not mar expensive shafts, and is easy to adjust.

The user-machineable collars also let designers rapidly develop a custom solution from a standard product line and then order parts machined to specification in production quantities if required.
