New Range Of Stainless Steel Taper Lock Bushes

Stainless Steel Taper Lock BushesThe range consists of 1008, 1108, 1210, 1610, 1615 and 2012 sizes and can be manufactured to suit any shaft diameter, both metric and imperial, on a very short delivery. All Cross + Morse Stainless Steel Bushes are supplied complete with stainless steel locking screws.

Taper bushes provide a low cost, simple, quick method of securing sprocket, pulleys and couplings to a wide range of standard metric and imperial dimensioned shafts of general commercial tolerances and finish. The taper surfaces on the bush and mating hub are driven together by high tensile screws, causing the split bush to be firmly contracted onto the shaft. The strong clamping force which can be achieved enables transmission of high torque without the problems of fretting associated with simple keyseated drives.

The design ensures quick, easy installation of sprockets and pulleys onto shafts with simple positioning for alignment. Positive jacking-off of the bush during removal ensures quick disassembly without normal problems of seizure between shaft and pulley. The standard bushes shown are also suitable for taper bore pulleys.
