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 style allows shaft mounting close to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension little while preventing problems with high overhung loads.

Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to provide a true clamp fit on the shaft that is the equivalent of a shrink fit.
Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are flangeless for clean, small application. They are manufactured with an 8° taper and a flush-mounted design with no protruding parts providing secure locking and elimination of wobble. Furthermore, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings can be found with an optional Gemstone D integral key in popular sizes for a more precise fit.
Stock sizes available up to 12” shaft diameter
Globally acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Essential for Added Worth and Convenience
Materials available in sintered steel, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless steel
L – Space required to tighten bushing or loosen to remove hub with puller using brief hex key.
M – Space required to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – short hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed needed hub diameter is certainly for reference just. Severe conditions may require larger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller sized hub may be satisfactory. Inquire about specific 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 include a completely split design to help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal screw to help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper includes 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 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 amount of 0.8″
In . bore sizes are designated with the complete inch followed by the fraction. For instance a 1.5″ diameter bore will be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are specified with “MM” following the metric dimension. These bushings are easy 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 possess an 8° taper, are constructed with 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 construction is perfect for meals and beverage applications or where noncorrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.

Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping push for secure shaft connection.
Available in popular and standard bore sizes.
Stainless bushings are corrosion resistant, preventing 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 from 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 power and shock resistance than cast iron. It really 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 products, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, amongst others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other elements to drive shafts for the transmitting of mechanical power. Many bushings are split and have a tapered outside surface 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 steel. Bushings are found in automobiles, construction equipment, and machine tools, among others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic motor controls.
1. Before setting up the bushing, polish the next 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 material. Any particles still left on the mating surfaces could cause improper installation.
Note: Do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful never to damage bore or hubs, slip shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread point of arranged 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 hand tighten screws in each bushing slightly so that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in a single bushing just until all screws are extremely tight. Use a piece of pipe on the wrench to
increase leverage. See table on the back for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to avoid harm to the threads. After that use a hammer against a heavy steel or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer first beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and hammer on the bushing opposite 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. Then hammer on each side of the bushing split. Make sure the areas on both sides of the split are actually.
Screws can now be tightened a bit more using the specified torque. Continue doing this alternate hammering and screw re-tightening
until the specified wrench torque no more turns the screws after hammering.
Check to make sure the surface on both sides of the split are even. 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 less than ever before. The left-justified hub style allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension little while preventing problems with high overhung loads.
