Definition:  An item designed to be mounted around a shaft to limit axial movement of the shaft and/or its assembled parts. It is secured directly to the shaft by use of a setscrew(s), pin(s), or the like, which may be a part of the item of supply. A pilot hole drilled in or through the wall(s) for drilling and pinning at application may be considered a method of securing. Solid items have a bearing surface on one or both end(s) perpendicular to the axis. For items designed to be mounted around the extended hub portion of a mounted item on a shaft or clamp around a shaft, see CLAMP, HUB.
