Shaft Fixings

Taper lock bushes are widely used to fasten a range of rotating elements such as pulleys, gears, and sprockets to shafts. They are essential in various machinery where a reliable and accurate alignment of these components is crucial.

Fitting a taper lock bush involves sliding the bush into the hub so the holes line up, inserting the appropriate set screws, and tightening them progressively in sequence. This method ensures a tight and concentric attachment to the shaft, enhancing the connection stability.

There is an extensive range of taper lock bushes available, including those with metric and imperial sizes. Additional variations include weld-on hubs, bolt-on hubs, and hub adaptors to suit different applications and installation requirements.

Taper lock bushes offer a high degree of mounting precision and robust connection. They simplify the assembly and disassembly process, which is particularly beneficial for maintenance and adjustment tasks. Their self-centering capability ensures optimal alignment, reducing wear and tear on the shaft and the connected components.
