SCS13 Aluminum Shaft Collar 13mm Bore – Single Split Non-Standard Shaft

MOQ: 50 pcs. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.

SCS13 Aluminum Shaft Collar – 13 mm Non-Standard Bore, Single Split Clamp with 4 mm Keyway

The SCS13 shaft collar addresses a gap that regularly trips up engineers working with imported European machinery: the 13 mm shaft diameter. A significant body of older European industrial equipment — particularly from German and Italian manufacturers — was built around 13 mm shafts derived from inch-based legacy designs (½ inch ≈ 12.7 mm, rounded up). Sourcing a correctly sized collar for maintenance and retrofit work on these machines has historically required custom machining.

The SCS13 eliminates that bottleneck. It shares the identical 30 mm OD, 10 mm face width, and M4 clamping screw as the SCS10 and SCS12, so its mounting pocket geometry fits existing housing designs without any rework. Only the bore is unique.

Design Features and Performance Advantages

🔗 Non-Standard Bore Specialist
13 mm bore fills the gap between 12 mm and 14 mm standards — essential for European legacy machine maintenance.

⚙ 100% Interchangeable Housing
Identical 30mm OD and 10mm width as SCS10/12: no new mounting pocket required on your housing design.

📈 Simplifies Spare-Parts Inventory
Same external dimensions as SCS12 — same wrench, same torque spec, different bore. Store them together for faster maintenance response.

⚖ 4 mm Keyway on Request
Compatible with standard DIN 6885A 4×4 parallel keys — same key stock as used with the SCS12.

Application Sectors

▶ Retrofit and Maintenance of Imported European Equipment

German conveyor systems, Italian packaging machines, and Scandinavian woodworking equipment frequently feature 13 mm output and idler shafts. When OEM collars are discontinued, the SCS13 provides an immediate replacement that restores equipment to specification without shaft modification.

▶ Custom Machine Builds Using Mixed-Standard Shafting

Custom machine builders who combine domestic metric shafting with imported European linear modules sometimes inherit 13 mm shaft ends. The SCS13 allows a consistent collar standard across the whole machine rather than sourcing bespoke components for non-standard shafts.

▶ Prototyping with Off-the-Shelf Shaft Stock

In rapid-prototype environments, engineers sometimes use 13 mm cold-drawn bar stock when standard sizes are temporarily out of stock. The SCS13 supports this approach, providing a production-quality collar without the lead time of a custom turned part.

Installation and Mounting Notes

Because the SCS13 fills a non-standard bore niche, it is valuable in spare-parts inventory rationalisation programs. A maintenance team supporting a mixed fleet of domestic (12 mm) and imported (13 mm) equipment can stock SCS12 and SCS13 in the same bin location — the identical external envelope means the same wrench, same torque specification, and same installation procedure. The 4 mm keyway is compatible with DIN 6885A 4×4 parallel keys — the same standard as the SCS12. For custom bore tolerances, contact EP's engineering team.

Frequently Asked Questions – SCS13

Why does a 13 mm bore collar exist when 12 mm and 14 mm cover adjacent sizes?

The 13 mm shaft diameter originates from legacy European designs derived from ½-inch imperial shafts (12.7 mm, rounded to 13 mm for metric tooling). It remains common in older German and Italian machinery still in active service.

Is the SCS13 a standard stock item or made-to-order?

The SCS13 is produced in standard batches given established demand in the maintenance market. MOQ is 100 pcs; contact EP via the contacts page for smaller evaluation quantities.

Can I use an SCS12 and bore it out to 13 mm in-house?

Not recommended. Boring out a split-clamp collar after manufacture changes the slit geometry and may create asymmetric wall thickness compromising clamping force distribution. EP's SCS13 is machined with correct dimensions from the outset.

Does the SCS13 come with or without keyway as standard?

Standard delivery is without keyway. The 4 mm keyway is machined to order — specify on your purchase order or attach your technical drawing.
