Taper Lock & QD Bushings

Taperlock bushings are tapered non-flanged split bushings that utilize screws to tighten on the shaft, providing excellent clamping force. Taperlock bushings are utilized on sprockets, sheaves and pulleys to increase clamping force over standard bored to size product that only utilizes a keyway...

Split taper bushings mount sheaves and sprockets on shafts and are built to withstand torque generated in power transmission. The double split steel, flanged design makes these bushings more adjustable in regards to shaft size and improves hold strength. The bushing also includes a keyway to help lock it in place on the shaft.

Built to withstand high torque capacity applications, taper bore bushings are split bushings that utilize set screws to lock on shafts in addition to keyways. The split, flangeless design and narrow hub creates a small center of load that further improves their torque capacities.

QD bushings (inch and metric sizes) have a flanged design and feature a 4° taper with conventional or reverse mounting. They are stocked in popular finished bore sizes and minimum plain bore for custom reboring.

Taper bushing is a new type of mechanical coupling components widely used in American and European market, with a high degree of standardization, high precision, compact structure, easy installation and removal, etc.

Taper locking bushings and hubs are used to mount pulleys, sprockets, and sheaves on shafts. They are split, flangeless bushings that use screws to tighten on the shaft and provide excellent clamping force. These bearings also keep sprocket hubs narrow, maintain a small center of load dimension, and stabilize overhung loads.
