Phosphated Taper Lock Bush

Taper-lock bushing (abbreviated as “bushing”) is a new type of elastic components in shaft-hub connection and is widely used in belts, timing belts, sprockets, gears, bevels, couplings, rollers , sheaves and agitators, impellers, fan rotors and other products which need to be shaft mounted.

Its features are as follows:

1. Particularly secure fit on the shaft with excellent concentricity.

2. Without interference, elasticity clip allows for easy on and easy off and with low aintenance necessary.

3. Better shock resistance, long life time, and great reliability in the situation of frequent starting and inversions, heavy loads and other severe operating conditions.

4. It is widely used in many circumstances and offers wide array of mounting between all kinds of  transmission components and different diameter shafts only by a few specifications. Easy standardization, easy separation and suitable for large scale of special productions can lower costs . At present, traditional connection methods by key is widely used in mechanical transmissions.

But its reliability is poor and its concentricity is also not very good, the installation is inconvenient and the keyway connection is easy to lose effectiveness under shock loads. Bushings have conquered all these defects completely so it has been propagated soon after the bushing was invented in the 1980’s and has become very popular in the U.S. Europe and Japan. We can surely say that bushing have taken the place of traditional key connections and is now a basic mechanical component all over the world.
