The original sheave and pulley mounting system developed to facilitate installation and replacement of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design offers both conventional (flange outboard) and invert (flange inboard) installation configurations.
1. Be certain the tapered cone surfaces of the bushing and the within of the driven item are clean and free from anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end 1st. Assemble key.
3. Placement QD bushing on shaft. Tighten arranged screw over key “hands tight” with regular Allen wrench only. Do not use excessive force.
4. Slide huge end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into position over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
Notice: Install M thru S bushings in the hub so that the two extra holes in the hub can be found as far as feasible from the bushing’s saw cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque desk on back. Usually do not use extensions on wrench handles. There should be a gap between your face of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a reasonable cone hold and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
Use a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings include a completely split style to greatly help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and a key on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive.
QD bushings (inch and metric sizes) possess a flanged design and feature a 4° taper with regular or reverse installation. They are stocked in popular completed bore sizes and minimum plain bore for custom reboring.
Many people make reference to both types as a “taper lock” because they both utilize the tapered wedging action to lock to the shaft. The taper bushing, with it’s straight sides, uses a set screw to drive the bushing into the bore of the component becoming set up (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be cautious when installing these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal only. Also be aware that the appearance of a flange on the outside of the bushing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a QD design. Split Taper bushing also offers a flange, and the two aren’t interchangeable. The QD design includes a split that continues through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy installation while providing exceptional keeping power. QD Bushings are utilized considered the industry offering convenience and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Steel and are set up by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing into the taper bore of the product which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are easily removed by using the cap screws as jack-screws. Double drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting installation of product in the traditional or reverse positions. This enables cap screws to end up being installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever can be most convenient. A significant benefit in set up, cap screws are always inserted from the exterior where they are easily accessible. QD Bushings are available from stock with all well-known bores within the range of every size bushing.
QD 
Bushings feature a split tapered flange with the split central to the flange and taper. They are applied to sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping power is necessary over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are crucial for mounting v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.
