Shaft Arbor for Small Motors
The Dayton 3ZN11 shaft arbor fits a 3/8 in shaft and uses a 3/8-24 LH thread for clockwise rotation. It mounts buffing and finishing wheels on smaller fractional horsepower electric motors. The overall length is 2 in with a 1 1/8 in thread length and 1/2 in maximum wheel width. Flanged washers and a hex nut are included for assembly.
Socket Setscrew Simplifies Installation
A socket-type setscrew secures the arbor to the motor shaft without special tools. The left-hand thread tightens against clockwise rotation so the wheel cannot spin loose during use. Ensure the motor shaft diameter matches 3/8 in and the rotation is clockwise; a mismatch in either dimension or direction will prevent a safe fit.
Steady Operation Under Continuous Load
The flanged washers distribute clamping force evenly across the wheel face to maintain alignment during extended buffing cycles. Left-hand threading resists the loosening torque generated by sustained clockwise rotation. The 1/2 in maximum wheel width limits the contact surface, so the arbor is suited to lighter finishing tasks rather than heavy material removal.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the arbor is running correctly after mounting a buffing wheel?
Secure the wheel with the flanged washers and hex nut, confirm the 3/8-24 LH thread engages fully, then start the motor — clockwise rotation matching the shaft direction means it is seated properly
What components are included and what must I supply?
The package provides the arbor, flanged washers and hex nut; you must supply the motor with a 3/8 in shaft and the buffing or finishing wheel up to 1/2 in wide
Which version should I choose for a small fractional-horsepower motor?
Choose the Small-type arbor with 3/8-24 LH thread, 1 1/8 in thread length and 1 1/4 in washer OD — it is made for that motor class and wheel width
