Description
Plain Bore Yoke Type C (Keyway & Threaded Hole) — Dual-Lock Self-Contained PTO Yoke
The Plain Bore Yoke Type C-Keyway & Threaded Hole was designed for applications where Type B keyway yokes require additional axial retention but external circlips or end plates are impractical. A threaded hole in the yoke hub accepts a standard socket-head set screw that bears against the shaft surface (or key), locking the yoke axially in position. This creates a completely self-contained retention system: key for torque, set screw for position — no external hardware visible or accessible to catch on guards or housings. Type C is the preferred specification for enclosed gearbox inputs and compact machinery where clean, snag-free installation matters.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits
🔒 Self-Contained Dual Lock
Key + set screw = complete retention without external circlips, collars, or end plates. Clean, compact installation.
🔧 Anti-Creep Set Screw
Socket-head cap screw threads into a tapped hole and bears against the shaft, preventing gradual axial migration under vibration.
🔑 Precision Keyway Drive
DIN 6885 keyway provides the same positive torque transfer as standalone Type B, with added axial security.
⚙ Metric Thread Standards
Threaded holes use standard M6 through M14 metric threads, accepting readily available set screws.
📏 Enclosed-Space Friendly
No protruding hardware — ideal for yokes installed inside gearbox housings or close to guards and covers.
💪 Vibration-Rated Retention
Dual-lock mechanism maintains grip under continuous vibration where single-retention methods gradually loosen.
🔄 Compatibility Information
Fits keyed cylindrical shafts in 20-45 mm range. Compatible with enclosed gearbox inputs, speed reducers, and precision equipment. Works with shaft designs from all major gearbox manufacturers.
📚 Selection Guide
Choose Type C when: You need keyway-quality torque transfer plus axial retention, and external retention devices (circlips, collars) are impractical or unwanted.
Set Screw Selection: Use a socket-head cap screw with a cup point for maximum grip. Apply thread-locking compound (medium strength) to prevent the set screw from loosening.
🌾 Typical Application Scenarios
Input shafts inside gearbox housings where external retention is inaccessible
Equipment with close-fitting guards that cannot accommodate external collars
Pump, crusher, and mixer drives subject to continuous vibration
Applications requiring no protruding hardware for safety or aesthetic reasons
🛠 Installation & Usage Guide
- Seat key in shaft: Install standard parallel key.
- Slide yoke onto shaft: Engage key and push to position.
- Thread set screw: Apply medium-strength thread lock and tighten socket-head set screw firmly against shaft.
- Verify: No rotational play (key) and no axial movement (set screw).
- Check periodically: Re-torque set screw every 100 hours in vibration-heavy applications.
- Complete assembly: Install cross kit, shaft, and safety guard.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🌟 Customer Reviews
Neil S. — 🇦🇺 Australia
“Perfect for our enclosed gearbox applications. The set screw holds position firmly and the keyway drives without slippage.”
Volker H. — 🇩🇪 Germany
“Clean, professional design. The dual-lock system works exactly as expected in our vibrating pump drives.”
Ricardo L. — 🇧🇷 Brazil
“Good quality. The threaded hole is cleanly tapped. We use Loctite on the set screw and it stays put.”
Dave W. — 🇺🇸 United States
“Type C solved our axial creep problem on a mixer drive shaft. The set screw provides the extra retention we needed.”
