1. Cost-Effectiveness:
   Unplated set screw shaft collars provide a more affordable option compared to plated alternatives. This makes them an excellent choice for projects where cost is a significant factor.
2. Strong and Reliable:
   The solid construction of unplated collars ensures high strength and durability. They can withstand substantial loads, making them suitable for various applications, including automotive, manufacturing, and robotics.
3. Versatility:
   These collars are versatile and can be used in many settings where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. They work well in dry environments or applications that do not expose the collars to harsh chemicals.
4. Easy Installation:
   Installing unplated set screw shaft collars is a simple process. Slide the collar onto the shaft and tighten the set screw using a hex key. This ease of installation saves time and effort during assembly.
5. Adjustability:
   The set screw mechanism allows for easy adjustments. Users can easily reposition components or remove them when necessary, enhancing flexibility in mechanical setups.

Unplated collars work best in applications where moisture or corrosive substances are not a concern. They suit projects that require a reliable and strong fastening solution without the added expense of coatings. Common uses include securing pulleys, gears, and other components in various machinery.
