Taper-Lock Bushings

Taper-lock bushing

Taper-lock bushings are a common solution for mounting mechanical transmission parts like sprockets, pulleys, and couplings onto drive shafts. The fastening power of taper lock bushings has to do with their flanged, split design with a tapered diameter. This design ensures a firm connection with the shaft by providing a tight fit with radial pressure. It also offers simpler installation and removal procedures without keys or set screws. Among other benefits of taper-lock bushings are high-torque capacity, impact dampening, and the ability to accommodate small tolerances in the mounted part and shaft sizes.

USA Roller Chain & Sprockets' taper lock bushings offer the highest quality on the market. They’re manufactured from superior steel or cast materials, so you get an efficient, long-lasting product that is perfect for any sprocket, sheave, or pulley system.

Key Benefits of Taper Lock Bushings

Easy Installation and Removal

Taper lock bushings are quick and easy to install and remove, even in cramped spaces. This is because they do not require any special tools or fixtures, and they can be installed and removed without disturbing the shaft or other components.

Secure Shaft Grip

Taper lock bushings provide a secure grip on the shaft, even under heavy loads and vibration. This is because they are designed to create a tight clamp fit on the shaft that is equivalent to a shrink fit.

Versatility Across Shaft Types

Taper lock bushings can be used with a wide variety of shafts, including both plain and tapered shafts. This makes them a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

Long-Lasting Durability

Taper lock bushings are made from durable materials, such as cast iron or steel, that can withstand harsh conditions. This makes them a long-lasting solution for a wide range of applications.
