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 near to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension small while preventing problems with high overhung loads.

Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to supply a true clamp fit on the shaft that 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 with no protruding parts providing protected locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings can be found with an optional Diamond D integral key in popular sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes available up to 12” shaft diameter
Worldwide 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 necessary to tighten bushing or loosen to remove hub with puller using short hex key.
M – Space necessary to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed required hub diameter is definitely for reference just. Severe conditions may necessitate bigger hub and in some instances a slightly smaller sized hub may be satisfactory. Inquire about particular application.
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 design to greatly help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and a key on the bushing to 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 maximum bore size and the next two digits represent the bushing size. For instance, product number 1008 has a max bore of just one 1.0″ and a complete amount of 0.8″
Inch bore sizes are specified with the whole inch followed by the fraction. For example a 1.5″ diameter bore would be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are designated with “MM” after the metric dimension. These bushings are simple 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 have an 8° taper, are made of steel and come with a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are accustomed to install pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The durable stainless steel construction is ideal for food and beverage applications or where noncorrosive sprockets are had a need to prevent rust.

Bushings are made to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping force for secure shaft connection.
Obtainable in popular and standard bore sizes.
Stainless steel bushings are corrosion resistant, stopping rust buildup to increase product life.
This Ever-Power’s size 3030 taper lock bushing with a torque capacity of 24000 in-lbs is made 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 installation width and includes a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is made of steel for greater strength and shock level of 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 utilized in automobiles, construction apparatus, agricultural machinery, and home appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts utilized to attach pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other parts to operate a vehicle shafts for the tranny of mechanical power. The majority of bushings are split and also have a tapered outside surface so they will clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the powered component. They are made of durable metals such as for example cast iron and steel. Bushings are used in automobiles, construction tools, 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 remaining on the mating areas could cause improper installation.
Note: Usually do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful never to damage bore or hubs, slide shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread point of set 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 slightly to ensure 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 table on the trunk for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to prevent damage to the threads. Then make use of a hammer against much metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer initial beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing reverse side of
the screw. Avoid hammering near to the OD of the bushing to prevent damage. Operating toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of every screw. After that hammer on each aspect of the bushing split. Make certain the areas on both sides of the split are even.
Screws is now able to be tightened a little 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 other holes with grease to exclude dirt.
The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow so the length-thru-bore dimension is significantly less than ever before. The left-justified hub design allows shaft mounting close to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension small while preventing issues with high overhung loads.
