taper lock bushing

Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping power for secure shaft connection.
Available in popular and regular bore sizes.
Stainless bushings are corrosion resistant, stopping rust buildup to improve product life.
This Ever-Power's size 3030 taper lock bushing with a torque capacity of 24000 in-lbs is made of steel and is utilized for mounting a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It is flush installed for reduced mounting width and has a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is constructed of steel for greater strength and shock resistance than cast iron. It is keyed to the shaft to prevent the shaft from rotating in the bushing, in fact it is interchangeable with taper lock bushings from numerous producers. This taper lock bushing is used in automobiles, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other parts to drive shafts for the transmitting of mechanical power. The majority of bushings are split and have a tapered outside surface area so they will clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the driven component. They are constructed of long lasting metals such as for example cast iron and metal. Bushings are found 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 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 remaining on the mating areas may cause improper installation.
Note: Usually do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful never to harm bore or hubs, slide shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread stage of set screws or thread and under head of capscrews. Place screws
loosely in the holes that are threaded upon the hub side.
4. Locate shaft constantly in place 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 extremely tight. Use a bit of pipe on the wrench to
increase leverage. See desk on the back for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to prevent harm to the threads. After that make use of a hammer against much metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer first beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and hammer on the bushing opposing side of
the screw. Avoid hammering close to the OD of the bushing to prevent damage. Functioning toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of every screw. After that hammer on each part of the bushing split. Make certain the surfaces 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
before specified wrench torque no more turns the screws after hammering.
Check to make sure the top on both sides of the split are also. Fill the additional holes with grease to exclude dirt.

Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to supply a true clamp suit 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 manufactured with an 8° taper and a flush-mounted design without protruding parts providing secure locking and elimination of wobble. Furthermore, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are available with an optional Gemstone D integral key in well-known sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes offered up to 12” shaft diameter
Globally acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Essential for Added Value and Convenience
Materials available in sintered metal, 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 required to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed necessary hub diameter is definitely for reference just. Severe conditions may require larger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller sized 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 transmission applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to greatly help provide easy installation 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 an integral on the bushing to help provide more drive.

The Taper-Lock bushing size is defiined by 4 digits representing two numbers. The 1st two digits represent the maximum bore size and the next two digits represent the bushing size. For example, product number 1008 includes a max bore of just one 1.0″ and a complete amount of 0.8″
In . bore sizes are designated with the complete inch followed by the fraction. For example a 1.5″ diameter bore will be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are designated with “MM” following the metric dimension. These bushings are easy to install and remove, these bushings match 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 install pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The long lasting stainless steel construction is well suited for food and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
