Custom Manufacturing

At Stafford Manufacturing Corp., we specialize in the design and manufacture of shaft collars, rigid couplings, and other specialty mechanical components used in power transmission, motion control, automation, and other OEM and MRO applications. While we maintain an extensive standard product catalog, we’ve always welcomed requests for custom manufactured shaft collars and rigid couplings as an everyday part of our business.
