The Taper-Lock bushing system keeps the sprocket hubs narrow so the length-thru-bore dimension is less than in the past. 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 that is the exact carbon copy of a shrink fit.
Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are flangeless for clean, compact application. They are manufactured with an 8° taper and a flush-mounted design without protruding parts providing secure locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are available with an optional Diamond D integral key in well-known sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes offered up to 12” shaft diameter
Globally acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Essential for Added Value and Convenience
Materials available in sintered steel, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless
L – Space necessary to tighten bushing or loosen to eliminate hub with puller using short hex key.
M – Space required to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed necessary hub diameter is definitely for reference just. Severe conditions may require larger hub and in some instances a slightly smaller sized hub could be satisfactory. Inquire about particular application.
Use 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 greatly help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal 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 1st two digits represent the maximum bore size and the next two digits represent the bushing size. For example, product number 1008 includes a max bore of just one 1.0″ and a complete amount 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 designated 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 made from 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 steel construction is perfect for food and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.

Bushings are made to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping push for secure shaft connection.
Available in popular and regular bore sizes.
Stainless steel bushings are corrosion resistant, avoiding rust buildup to improve product life.
This Ever-Power’s size 3030 taper lock bushing with a torque capacity of 24000 in-lbs is made from steel and can be used for mounting a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It is flush mounted for reduced mounting width and includes a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is made of steel for greater power 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 different producers. This taper lock bushing is used in automobiles, construction gear, agricultural machinery, and home appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to install pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other components to drive shafts for the tranny of mechanical power. Most bushings are split and have a tapered outside surface so they will clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the driven component. They are made of long lasting metals such as cast iron and metal. Bushings are found in automobiles, construction gear, 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 material. Any particles remaining on the mating surfaces may cause improper installation.
Note: Do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful not to harm 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 constantly in place desired and hand tighten screws in each bushing somewhat so that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in one bushing only until all screws are very 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 avoid harm to the threads. Then use a hammer against a heavy metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer initial next to the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing opposite side of
the screw. Avoid hammering near to the OD of the bushing to avoid damage. Operating toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of every screw. Then hammer on each side of the bushing split. Make certain the areas on both sides of the split are actually.
Screws is now able to be tightened a little 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 top on both sides of the split are actually. 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 in the past. The left-justified hub design allows shaft mounting near to bearings, keeping the center of load dimension small while preventing problems with high overhung loads.
