Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping force for secure shaft connection.
Obtainable in popular and standard 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 can be 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 tight 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 home appliances, amongst others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to mount pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other elements to operate a vehicle 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 constructed of long lasting metals such as for example cast iron and metal. Bushings are used in automobiles, construction devices, and machine tools, among others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic 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 left on the mating areas may cause improper installation.
Note: Do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful not 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 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 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 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 initial beside the screw farthest from the bushing split and hammer on the bushing opposing side of
the screw. Avoid hammering near to the OD of the bushing to avoid damage. Working toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of each screw. After that hammer on each aspect 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. Repeat this alternate hammering and screw re-tightening
before specified wrench torque no longer turns the screws after hammering.
Check to ensure the top on both sides of the split are even. Fill the additional holes with grease to exclude dirt.

Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to supply a true clamp suit on the shaft this is the equivalent of a shrink fit.
Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are flangeless for clean, small application. They are engineered 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 are available with an optional Gemstone D integral key in popular sizes for a more precise fit.
Stock sizes obtainable 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 obtainable in sintered steel, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless steel
L – Space necessary 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 required hub diameter is certainly for reference only. Severe conditions may necessitate bigger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller hub may be satisfactory. Inquire about specific application.
Use 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 style to greatly help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly edges uses an internal screw to help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and an integral on the bushing to help provide more drive. Pick up 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 next two digits represent the bushing length. For instance, product number 1008 includes a max bore of 1 1.0″ and a total length of 0.8″
In . bore sizes are specified with the whole inch followed by the fraction. For example a 1.5″ diameter bore will be 1-1/2. Metric bore sizes are designated with “MM” after the metric dimension. These bushings are easy to install and remove, these bushings match 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 meals and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
