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 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 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 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 Gemstone D integral key in well-known sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes offered 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 steel
L – Space required to tighten bushing or loosen to eliminate hub with puller using brief hex key.
M – Space necessary to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – short hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed needed hub diameter can be for reference only. Severe conditions may necessitate larger hub and in some instances a slightly smaller hub may 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 design to help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly 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 first two digits represent the utmost bore size and the second two digits represent the bushing duration. For example, product number 1008 has a max bore of 1 1.0″ and a total length of 0.8″
Inch 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 specified with “MM” after 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 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 non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
Bushings are made 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 increase product life.
This Ever-Power’s size 3030 taper lock bushing with a torque capacity of 24000 in-lbs is constructed of steel and is used for installation a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It is flush mounted for reduced mounting width and has a split taper for a good 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 avoid the shaft from rotating in the bushing, in fact it is 
interchangeable with taper lock bushings from various manufacturers. This taper lock bushing can be used in automobiles, construction apparatus, agricultural machinery, and home appliances, amongst others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other elements to operate a vehicle shafts for the transmitting 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 constructed of long lasting metals such as cast iron and metal. Bushings are found in automobiles, construction devices, and machine tools, among others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic electric motor 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 still left on the mating surfaces could cause improper installation.
Note: Usually do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful not to damage bore or hubs, slide shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread stage of arranged 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 extremely 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 steel or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer 1st next to 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. Operating toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of each screw. After that hammer on each side of the bushing split. Make certain the surfaces on both sides of the split are even.
Screws is now able to be tightened a bit more using the specified torque. Continue doing 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 various 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 in the past. The left-justified hub design allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension small while preventing issues with high overhung loads.
