Bushings are created to precise tolerances.
Provides excellent clamping force for secure shaft connection.
Obtainable in popular and standard bore sizes.
Stainless steel bushings are corrosion resistant, stopping 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 is utilized for mounting a taper lock pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. It is flush installed 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 avoid the shaft from rotating in the bushing, in fact it is interchangeable with taper lock bushings from various producers. This taper lock bushing can be used in automobiles, construction apparatus, agricultural machinery, and home appliances, among others. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to mount pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other parts to operate a vehicle shafts for the transmitting of mechanical power. The majority of 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 made of durable metals such as cast iron and steel. Bushings are used in automobiles, construction apparatus, and machine tools, amongst others. Ever-Power’s manufactures bushings, pulleys, couplings, and electronic engine 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 in position desired and hands tighten screws in each bushing somewhat to ensure that bushings are snug in hubs.
5. Tighten screws alternately and evenly in a single bushing only until all screws are very tight. Use a bit of pipe on the wrench to
increase leverage. See desk on the trunk for wrench torque.
Avoid excessive wrench torque to prevent harm to the threads. After that use a hammer against much metal or bronze bar held
against bushings. Hammer first next to the screw farthest from the bushing split and then hammer on the bushing reverse side of
the screw. Avoid hammering close to the OD of the bushing to prevent damage. Operating toward the split, hammer on bushing on
each side of each screw. Then hammer on each part of the bushing split. Make certain the surfaces on both sides of the split are even.
Screws is now able to be tightened a little more using the specified torque. Repeat this alternate hammering and screw re-tightening
until the specified wrench torque no more turns the screws after hammering.
Check to make sure the top on both sides of the split are also. Fill the additional 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 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 without protruding parts providing protected locking and elimination of wobble. In addition, Dodge Taper-Lock bushings can be found with an optional Diamond D integral type in popular sizes for a far more precise fit.
Stock sizes available up to 12” shaft diameter
Worldwide acceptance and availability inch and metric bores
Flush Mounting-No Protruding Parts
Diamond D Integral Key for Added Worth and Convenience
Materials available in sintered metal, cast iron, ductile iron, steel and stainless steel
L – Space necessary to tighten bushing or loosen to eliminate hub with puller using brief hex key.
M – Space necessary to remove bushing using screws as jackscrews – short hex key – no puller reuired.
Listed needed hub diameter is definitely for reference just. Severe conditions may necessitate larger hub and in some cases a slightly smaller sized hub could 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 has 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 first two digits represent the maximum bore size and the second two digits represent the bushing duration. For example, product number 1008 includes a max bore of just one 1.0″ and a total length of 0.8″
In . bore sizes are designated with the whole inch accompanied by the fraction. For instance a 1.5″ diameter bore would 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 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 have a black oxide coating.
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are used to attach pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts. The durable stainless steel construction is perfect for food and beverage applications or where non-corrosive sprockets are needed to prevent rust.
