Split thrust collar for Dodge RTL pillow block

The 132151 split thrust collar serves as a mechanical component for controlling the longitudinal movement of a shaft within a bearing application. By securing the shaft in its intended lateral position, this component prevents displacement that can lead to misalignment or mechanical interference. The split design allows for installation and removal directly around the shaft, which eliminates the need to disassemble other drive train components during maintenance procedures. This part is specifically sized for a 3-7/16 inch shaft diameter.

This component is engineered for compatibility with Dodge RTL pillow block bearings. These bearing assemblies are commonly utilized in industrial machinery such as conveyors, mixers, and milling equipment where precise shaft positioning is required. The collar acts against the bearing or associated thrust washers to distribute axial forces efficiently across the assembly. By maintaining the correct axial position, the collar helps protect connected gears, pulleys, and couplings from the effects of excessive shaft travel, which can otherwise result in vibration or premature wear on internal seals and bearings.
