FAQ

What material is the AL-4FS arbor made from?

The arbor is fabricated from high‑grade carbon steel that is heat‑treated to achieve a balance of hardness and toughness, ensuring long‑lasting performance in demanding applications.

Can this arbor be used with both left‑hand and right‑hand threaded couplings?

The AL-4FS is specifically designed with a left‑hand thread. For right‑hand threaded couplings, a compatible adapter or a different model should be selected.

What is the maximum torque rating for this shaft arbor?

While the exact torque rating depends on the specific system configuration, the heat‑treated steel construction typically supports torque levels suitable for most standard industrial motor applications.

Is there a warranty or after‑sales support for the AL-4FS?

Yes, Climax Metal provides a limited warranty covering material defects and offers technical assistance for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance throughout the product’s lifespan.

How do I install the left‑hand thread correctly?

To install, align the arbor with the coupling housing and turn it clockwise when viewed from the motor side. The left‑hand thread will engage as you rotate, securing the arbor firmly without cross‑threading.
