micro guide-rod stops and instrument fixtures
EP-SCS06 is a single-split aluminum shaft clamp with a 6 mm nominal bore, 20 mm outside diameter, 10 mm width and M4 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-SCS06 Fits Best
This smallest bore is useful when the collar must stay visually and physically unobtrusive around a slender shaft. Check nearby sensor brackets and end plates because the 20 mm outside diameter may still be the controlling dimension in a compact mechanism.
EP-SCS06 sits in the compact end of the EP-SCS range, where bore accuracy and nearby component clearance usually matter more than overall mass. It is well suited to evaluation for guide rods, small fixtures, sensors, light linear mechanisms and benchtop automation where a removable stop or axial reference is needed.
Model Dimensions

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EP-SCS06 | 6 mm | 20 mm | 10 mm | M4 | 1 mm | — |
Selection starts with the measured shaft diameter, then moves to the surrounding envelope. Confirm the 20 mm outside diameter, 10 mm axial width and access to the M4 screw against the real assembly before treating EP-SCS06 as a replacement or new-build fit.
Interface Review
For small assemblies, measure the shaft with an appropriate gauge rather than choosing from a printed nominal value. A small absolute mismatch represents a larger share of the bore at this scale, so fit confirmation deserves extra care.
EP-SCS dimensional data for EP-SCS06 does not include a standard keyway K value. The normal selection path is therefore the plain-bore collar; if a keyed interface is required, include the shaft and key geometry in the enquiry so feasibility can be reviewed for the actual assembly.
Typical Positioning Roles
EP-SCS06 can serve as a removable stop on a 6 mm guide shaft, an axial reference beside another shaft-mounted component, or one side of a paired locating arrangement. Its 10 mm body width and 20 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-SCS06 is intended to act as a hard stop rather than a setup reference, describe the contact event in the enquiry. Repeated impact on a 6 mm shaft creates a different selection question from occasional positioning, even though the listed collar dimensions are unchanged.
Installation and Service Considerations
If this collar is being used as a setup stop, describe whether it is adjusted frequently or left fixed after commissioning. That detail helps distinguish a simple positioning duty from an application where repeated service access matters.
For compact EP-SCS06 installations, check the full motion path around the 20 mm OD body before fixing the stop position. Leave a practical tool path to the M4 screw and confirm that the 10 mm axial width does not crowd an end plate, sensor bracket or moving carriage.
The EP-SCS06 body is tightened through its M4 clamp screw and the listed split W is 1 mm. Install it on a clean 6 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-SCS06. 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-SCS06 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 20 mm × 10 mm envelope can be checked against the installation rather than inferred from the machine name.
Nearest EP-SCS Bore Options
EP-SCS06 is centered on a 6 mm shaft interface. Nearby catalogue entries such as EP-SCS08 and EP-SCS10 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 20 mm OD and 10 mm width as separate envelope checks.
RFQ Focus for EP-SCS06
Send the actual shaft diameter, required quantity and a sketch showing the available radial envelope. Because no standard K dimension is listed for this model, any keyed request should be treated as a custom interface review.
For EP-SCS06, identify whether the collar will be a fixed stop, adjustable setup reference, paired locator or keyed interface. Include that role with the 6 mm shaft dimension, quantity and any restricted 20 mm OD / 10 mm width envelope so the quotation addresses the real assembly.
