What is the benefit of the surface-hardened material?

Troubleshooting
Shaft collar slips on the shaft.
Ensure the grub screw is tightened sufficiently. Verify that the shaft diameter is precisely 6mm and not slightly smaller. Clean both the shaft and the inside of the collar from any grease or debris before installation.
Grub screw won't tighten or is stripped.
Check if the correct size hex key is being used. If the screw head is stripped, it may need to be carefully drilled out or replaced. Contact Modelcraft for replacement parts if necessary.
Collar does not fit onto the 6mm shaft.
Double-check that the shaft is indeed 6mm in diameter and not slightly larger. Ensure there is no burr or obstruction on the shaft preventing the collar from sliding on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Modelcraft Shaft Collar - 6mm, slide it onto the 6mm shaft. Position it where needed and then tighten the grub screw using an appropriate screwdriver (typically a hex key) until it is securely fastened. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the shaft.
Compatibility: This shaft collar is specifically designed for shafts with a 6mm diameter. Ensure your shaft matches this dimension precisely. The collar's outer diameter is 10mm and its thickness is 5mm.
