5/16 Short Driveshaft Clamp

The 5/16 short driveshaft clamp is an inch-thread U clamp used for fastening and replacement in driveshaft assemblies where the mounting space requires a short version. At TECTUL it is supplied in carbon steel, sold by unit, with nominal diameter 5/16 and a short configuration to distinguish it from the long reference of the same diameter. This type of clamp is frequently requested in automotive, agricultural and industrial maintenance when the assembly must be secured without changing to a larger size. Compared with the 3/8 short driveshaft clamp, this reference corresponds to a smaller diameter; compared with the 5/16 long, it keeps the same diameter but changes the useful length to fit more compact housings. For a safe purchase, compare the removed clamp, the thread, the bearing width and the required height before quoting.

Selection guide

• Choose this reference when the existing assembly uses a 5/16 diameter clamp in short version.
• If the housing requires greater thread reach, review the 5/16 long driveshaft clamp.
• Do not substitute 5/16 with 3/8 without validating compatibility of the yoke, universal joint and mounting space.
• For replacement, send a photo of the removed clamp together with the size marked or measured on site.

Installation recommendations

• Clean the threads and bearing surfaces before installing the new clamp.
• Align the clamp with the driveshaft housing to avoid lateral stress during tightening.
• Use nuts compatible with inch thread and replace parts with deformed threads.
• Tighten evenly on both ends to maintain fastening pressure.
• After installation, verify that there is no interference with assembly rotation.
