Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping force for secure shaft connection.
Obtainable in popular and regular 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 can be used for mounting a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It is flush mounted for reduced installation width and includes a split taper for a good clamp to shafts. The bushing is made from steel for greater strength and shock level of resistance than cast iron. It really is keyed to the shaft to avoid the shaft from rotating in the bushing, and it is interchangeable with taper lock bushings from numerous producers. This taper lock bushing is used in automobiles, construction devices, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts utilized to mount pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other components to drive shafts for the transmission 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 powered component. They are constructed of durable metals such as cast iron and steel. Bushings are used in automobiles, construction tools, and machine tools, amongst others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic engine controls.
1. Before installing 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 remaining on the mating areas may cause 
improper installation.
Note: Do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful never to harm bore or hubs, slip shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread stage of established 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 somewhat so that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in a single bushing just until all screws are very tight. Use a bit of pipe on the wrench to
increase leverage. See table on the back for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to prevent harm to the threads. Then make use of a hammer against much steel or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer initial beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing opposing side of
the screw. Avoid hammering close to the OD of the bushing to avoid damage. Working toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of every screw. After that hammer on each part of the bushing split. Make sure the areas on both sides of the split are also.
Screws is now able to be tightened a bit more using the specified torque. Repeat 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 also. Fill the other holes with grease to exclude dirt.
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-installed design with no protruding parts providing protected locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are available with an optional Gemstone D integral key in popular 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 Essential for Added Worth and Convenience
Materials available in sintered metal, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless
L – Space required to tighten bushing or loosen to eliminate hub with puller using short hex key.
M – Space necessary to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed needed hub diameter is certainly for reference only. Severe conditions may require larger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller sized hub may be satisfactory. Inquire about particular application.
Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split design to greatly help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and a key on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive. Grab the tapered and QD bushings you will 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 second two digits represent the bushing size. For example, product number 1008 includes a max bore of just one 1.0″ and a total length of 0.8″
” bore sizes are designated 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” following the metric dimension. These bushings are easy 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 possess an 8° taper, are made of steel and come with a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are accustomed to mount pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The durable stainless construction is perfect for food and beverage applications or where noncorrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
