The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow therefore the length-thru-bore dimension is significantly less than ever before. The left-justified hub style allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the guts of load dimension little 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 this is the exact carbon copy of a shrink fit.
Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are flangeless for clean, compact application. They are designed with an 8° taper and a flush-installed design without protruding parts providing protected locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are available with an optional Diamond D integral key in well-known sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes obtainable up to 12” shaft diameter
Worldwide acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Key for Added Value and Convenience
Materials available in sintered steel, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless
L – Space necessary to tighten bushing or loosen to eliminate hub with puller using short hex key.
M – Space necessary to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed necessary hub diameter is for reference only. Severe conditions may necessitate larger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller sized hub may be satisfactory. Inquire about specific application.
Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power transmission applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split design to help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and an integral on the bushing to help provide more drive.

The Taper-Lock bushing size is defiined by 4 digits representing two numbers. The initial two digits represent the utmost bore size and the second two digits represent the bushing length. For example, product number 1008 includes a max bore of 1 1.0″ and a total amount of 0.8″
Inch bore sizes are specified with the complete inch accompanied by the fraction. For instance a 1.5″ diameter bore will be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are designated with “MM” following the metric dimension. These bushings are simple to install and remove, these bushings suit flush into tapered bushing sprockets and or pulleys. The bushing contacts and wedges inward, gripping the shaft and bore of the sprocket. Bushings have an 8° taper, are constructed with steel and have a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are accustomed to mount pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The long lasting stainless construction is well suited for meals and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
Bushings are made to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping drive for secure shaft connection.
Obtainable in popular and standard bore sizes.
Stainless steel bushings are corrosion resistant, preventing rust buildup to improve 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 installation a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It really is flush installed for reduced installation width and includes a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is made from steel for greater power and shock level of resistance than cast iron. It really is keyed to the shaft to avoid the shaft from rotating in the bushing, in fact it is interchangeable with taper lock bushings from various producers. This taper lock bushing is used in automobiles, construction gear, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, amongst others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other elements to operate a vehicle shafts for the transmission of mechanical power. Many bushings are split and also have a tapered outside surface area so they’ll clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the driven component. They are made of long lasting metals such as cast iron and steel. Bushings are used in automobiles, construction products, and machine tools, amongst others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic motor controls.
1. Before setting up the bushing, polish the next 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 areas may cause improper installation.
Note: 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 stage of established screws or thread and under mind of capscrews. Place screws
loosely in the holes that are threaded on the hub side.
4. Locate shaft in position desired and hands tighten screws in each bushing somewhat to ensure that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in one bushing only 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 extreme wrench torque to prevent damage to the threads. Then use a hammer against a heavy metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer initial next to the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing opposing side of
the screw. Avoid hammering near to the OD of the bushing to avoid damage. Working toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of each screw. After that hammer on each part of the bushing split. Make sure the areas on both sides of the split are even.
Screws can now be tightened a bit more using the specified torque. Repeat this alternate hammering and screw re-tightening
until the specified wrench torque no longer turns the screws after hammering.
Check to make sure the surface on both sides of the split are even. Fill the other holes with grease to exclude dirt.
The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow therefore the length-thru-bore dimension is significantly less than ever before. The left-justified hub style allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension little while preventing issues with high overhung loads.
