small packaging mechanisms and machine fixtures
EP-SCS14 is a single-split aluminum shaft clamp with a 14 mm nominal bore, 35 mm outside diameter, 12 mm width and M5 clamp screw. It is intended for axial positioning and stop duties on round shafts where a clamp-style collar gives the installer a removable, repositionable mechanical reference.
Where EP-SCS14 Fits Best
The 14 mm model steps to a 35 mm outside diameter and 12 mm body width with an M5 clamp screw. That change makes it important to check both radial and axial clearance even if the application previously used a smaller EP-SCS size.
EP-SCS14 is in the middle of the range and is a practical candidate for general automation, linear-motion hardware, fixture positioning and machine replacement work. The 35 mm outside diameter and 12 mm width should be treated as real interface dimensions, not secondary details after the 14 mm bore is chosen.
Model Dimensions
| Model | Bore d | OD D | Width B | Screw M | Split W | Keyway K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EP-SCS14 | 14 mm | 35 mm | 12 mm | M5 | 1.5 mm | 5 mm |
Selection starts with the measured shaft diameter, then moves to the surrounding envelope. Confirm the 35 mm outside diameter, 12 mm axial width and access to the M5 screw against the real assembly before treating EP-SCS14 as a replacement or new-build fit.
Interface Review
In a packaging or fixture assembly, the most practical check is often tool access. Confirm that the M5 screw can be reached after guards, frames or neighboring components are installed.
The EP-SCS chart lists K = 5 mm for the keyed option on EP-SCS14, while the standard collar is supplied without a keyway. A keyed request should include the mating key and shaft details because the K value is only one dimension of the complete interface.
Typical Positioning Roles
EP-SCS14 can serve as a removable stop on a 14 mm guide shaft, an axial reference beside another shaft-mounted component, or one side of a paired locating arrangement. Its 12 mm body width and 35 mm outside diameter must fit the surrounding mechanism; bearings, couplings, keys and other functional components should continue to perform the duties assigned to them by the machine design.
If EP-SCS14 is intended to act as a hard stop rather than a setup reference, describe the contact event in the enquiry. Repeated impact on a 14 mm shaft creates a different selection question from occasional positioning, even though the listed collar dimensions are unchanged.
Installation and Service Considerations
Where the collar sits beside a rotating part, use it as an axial reference without assuming it replaces the component’s bearing, key or torque-transmitting interface. The surrounding machine design still controls those functions.
When EP-SCS14 is used in automation or retrofit work, compare its 35 mm OD and 12 mm width with bearing blocks, couplings, guards and moving carriages. Orient the M5 screw toward a serviceable side so the 14 mm collar can be adjusted later without avoidable disassembly.
The EP-SCS14 body is tightened through its M5 clamp screw and the listed split W is 1.5 mm. Install it on a clean 14 mm shaft, seat the collar squarely, keep the screw accessible, and verify the axial position again after tightening before the mechanism returns to service.
Configuration Details to Confirm
The size chart defines the core geometry for EP-SCS14. If the application depends on a specific tightening torque, axial holding requirement, aluminum grade, surface treatment or compliance document, state that requirement in the RFQ so it can be confirmed for the ordered configuration rather than assumed from bore size alone.
When EP-SCS14 is being considered as a replacement, record the actual shaft diameter together with the old collar outside diameter, width and screw orientation. Also note nearby shoulders, bearing hardware and visible shaft condition so the 35 mm × 12 mm envelope can be checked against the installation rather than inferred from the machine name.
Nearest EP-SCS Bore Options
EP-SCS14 is centered on a 14 mm shaft interface. Nearby catalogue entries such as EP-SCS13 and EP-SCS15 are useful for comparing the range, but they should not be used to compensate for an uncertain shaft measurement. Verify the shaft first, then treat the 35 mm OD and 12 mm width as separate envelope checks.
RFQ Focus for EP-SCS14
Send the 14 mm shaft measurement, quantity and available space around the collar. If a keyed version is wanted, note the mating-shaft geometry for review against the listed K dimension.
For EP-SCS14, identify whether the collar will be a fixed stop, adjustable setup reference, paired locator or keyed interface. Include that role with the 14 mm shaft dimension, quantity and any restricted 35 mm OD / 12 mm width envelope so the quotation addresses the real assembly.
