Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping power for secure shaft connection.
Available in popular and standard 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 constructed of steel and is used for installation a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It really is flush mounted for reduced installation width and includes a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts. The bushing is made of steel for greater strength and shock 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 utilized in automobiles, construction devices, agricultural machinery, and kitchen appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to mount pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other components to operate a vehicle shafts for the transmitting of mechanical power. Many 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 durable 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 electric motor 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 materials. Any particles left on the mating areas may cause improper installation.
Note: Usually do not lubricate mating surfaces.
2. Being careful not to harm bore or hubs, slip shaft into pulley.
3. Slide bushings onto shaft and into hubs. Oil thread point of set screws or thread and under head 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 to ensure 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 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. After that make use of a hammer against a heavy metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer initial next to the screw farthest from the bushing split and 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 sure the areas on both sides of the split are even.
Screws can now be tightened a little 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 surface on both sides of the split are even. Fill the various other holes with grease to exclude dirt.
Taper-Lock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to provide a true clamp match 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 engineered with an 8° taper and a flush-installed design with no protruding parts providing protected locking and elimination of wobble. Furthermore, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings are available with an optional Gemstone D integral key in well-known 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 available in sintered steel, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless
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 – brief hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed required hub diameter is usually for reference just. Severe conditions may necessitate bigger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller 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 transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings include a completely split style to help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and a key on the bushing to greatly 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 instance, product number 1008 has a max bore of 1 1.0″ and a complete length of 0.8″
In . bore sizes are specified with the whole inch followed by the fraction. For instance 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 constructed with steel and have a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are accustomed to install pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The long lasting stainless construction is ideal for meals and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are had a need to prevent rust.
