The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow so the length-thru-bore dimension is significantly less than in the past. The left-justified hub style allows shaft mounting close to bearings, keeping the guts of load dimension small while preventing issues with high overhung loads.
Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper 
to provide a true clamp match on the shaft that is the equivalent of a shrink fit.
Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are flangeless for clean, small application. They are engineered with an 8° taper and a flush-installed design without protruding parts providing secure locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings can be found with an optional Diamond D integral key in well-known sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes available up to 12” shaft diameter
Globally acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Important for Added Value and Convenience
Materials obtainable in sintered metal, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless
L – Space required to tighten bushing or loosen to remove hub with puller using short hex key.
M – Space required to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – short hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed necessary hub diameter is usually for reference only. Severe conditions may require bigger hub and in some instances a slightly smaller hub could be satisfactory. Inquire about particular application.
Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and several other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly edges uses an internal screw to help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and an integral on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive. Pick up the tapered and QD bushings you need at Ever-Power!
The Taper-Lock bushing size is defiined by 4 digits representing two numbers. The initial two digits represent the utmost bore size and the next two digits represent the bushing duration. For instance, product number 1008 includes a max bore of 1 1.0″ and a total amount of 0.8″
Inch bore sizes are designated with the whole inch accompanied by the fraction. For instance a 1.5″ diameter bore will be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are specified with “MM” after the metric dimension. These bushings are easy to install and remove, these bushings fit flush into tapered bushing sprockets and or pulleys. The bushing contacts and wedges inward, gripping the shaft and bore of the sprocket. Bushings possess an 8° taper, are made from steel and have a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are used to attach pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The long lasting stainless construction is well suited for meals and beverage applications or where noncorrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
Bushings are made to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping pressure for secure shaft connection.
Available in popular and standard bore sizes.
Stainless bushings are corrosion resistant, preventing rust buildup to increase product life.
This Ever-Power’s size 3030 taper lock bushing with a torque capacity of 24000 in-lbs is constructed of steel and can be used for mounting a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It really is flush installed for reduced mounting width and includes a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is constructed of steel for greater power and shock resistance than cast iron. It is keyed to the shaft to prevent the shaft from rotating in the bushing, and it is interchangeable with taper lock bushings from numerous manufacturers. This taper lock bushing can be used in automobiles, construction gear, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, amongst others. Bushings are cylindrical parts utilized to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other elements to drive shafts for the transmitting of mechanical power. Many bushings are split and also have a tapered outside surface so they’ll clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the powered component. They are constructed of durable metals such as for example cast iron and metal. Bushings are found in automobiles, construction devices, and machine tools, among others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic engine controls.
1. Before installing the bushing, polish the following components:
a. Surface of shaft
b. Bore of the bushing
c. Tapered inside diameter of the Taper-Lock hub
d. Tapered outside diameter of the Taper-Lock bushing
Remove all burrs and foreign materials. Any particles left on the mating surfaces may cause improper installation.
Note: Usually do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful not to damage bore or hubs, slip shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread point of arranged screws or thread and under head of capscrews. Place screws
loosely in the holes that are threaded upon the hub side.
4. Locate shaft in position desired and hands tighten screws in each bushing somewhat so that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in one bushing just until all screws are very tight. Use a piece of pipe on the wrench to
increase leverage. See desk on the trunk for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to avoid damage to the threads. Then make use of a hammer against much metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer 1st beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing opposite side of
the screw. Avoid hammering close to the OD of the bushing to avoid damage. Working toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of each screw. Then hammer on each aspect of the bushing split. Make certain the surfaces on both sides of the split are actually.
Screws is now able to be tightened a bit more using the specified torque. Continue doing this alternate hammering and screw re-tightening
before specified wrench torque no longer turns the screws after hammering.
Check to ensure the surface on both sides of the split are also. Fill the various other holes with grease to exclude dirt.
The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow so the length-thru-bore dimension is less than in the past. The left-justified hub style allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the guts of load dimension small while preventing issues with high overhung loads.
