Climax Metal SRB-060717 3/8" ID X 7/16" OD Shaft Adapter Bushing

The Climax Metal SRB-060717 is a precision-engineered galvanized split steel reducer bushing designed for high-torque mechanical power transmission. This shaft adapter bushing features a 3/8" inner diameter and a 7/16" outer diameter, providing a seamless transition when adapting larger bore pulleys, sprockets, or gears to smaller drive shafts. With an overall length of 1-1/16", it ensures significant surface contact for load distribution and stability. The split steel construction allows for a slight compression fit, ensuring the adapter grips the shaft securely while maintaining concentricity. Utilizing a 3/16" keyway slot, this industrial shaft reducer maintains positive drive engagement, preventing slippage in demanding HVACR blower assemblies or conveyor systems. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides essential corrosion resistance for equipment exposed to moisture or fluctuating temperatures, making it a reliable choice for field repairs and OEM upgrades alike.

• Precision Bore Sizing: Corrects fitment issues between 3/8" shafts and 7/16" bore components without requiring custom machining.
• Enhanced Durability: Galvanized steel finish protects the reducer bushing against rust and oxidation in mechanical environments.
• Secure Torque Transfer: Integrated 3/16" keyway compatibility ensures the shaft adapter handles rotational loads without failure.
• Split Design Versatility: The split-sleeve geometry provides a flexible yet tight fit, accommodating minor shaft tolerances during installation.

How do I install an SRB-060717 split steel bushing?
Slide the Climax Metal SRB-060717 onto the 3/8" shaft, ensuring the keyway is aligned. Position your 7/16" bore component over the bushing and secure it using the standard set screws or locking mechanisms of the driven tool.

What is the primary function of a shaft adapter bushing?
A shaft adapter bushing is used to reduce the effective bore size of a mechanical part, allowing a component designed for a larger shaft to operate safely on a smaller diameter motor or drive shaft.

Can this reducer bushing be used in high-moisture HVAC applications?
Yes, the galvanized steel construction of the SRB-060717 is specifically treated to resist corrosion, making it suitable for air handlers, cooling towers, and other damp industrial environments.
