P1 Type Split Taper Bushings
P1 Type Split Taper Bushings are precision-engineered components used to mount pulleys, sprockets, or other transmission elements onto shafts in industrial applications. Featuring a double-split barrel and solid flange design, they ensure superior concentricity and secure shaft-to-hub connections. Made from high-strength materials like ductile iron or steel with corrosion-resistant finishes, P1 bushings offer easy installation, reliable torque transfer, and durability. Their 3/4″ per foot taper and key-to-key drive provide robust mechanical locking, ideal for heavy-duty power transmission systems. Available in various bore sizes, they accommodate diverse shaft diameters.

Key Features of P1 Type Split Taper Bushings
P1 Type Split Taper Bushings are precision-engineered components used to mount pulleys, sprockets, and other devices onto shafts in power transmission systems. Here are the key features of P1 Type Split Taper Bushings:
- Double Split Barrel Design: The P1 bushing features a double split barrel, which enhances concentricity and provides a secure, uniform grip on the shaft. This design reduces vibration and ensures precise alignment, improving the efficiency and longevity of power transmission components in demanding industrial applications.
- Solid Flange Construction: Equipped with a solid flange, the P1 bushing maintains a concentric bore, minimizing wobble and ensuring smooth operation. This robust construction enhances durability, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where consistent performance and reduced maintenance are critical.
- Key-to-Key Drive System: The bushing incorporates a key-to-key drive, with keys on both the shaft and hub, delivering a strong, positive drive. This system maximizes torque transfer, preventing slippage and ensuring reliable performance under high-load conditions in industrial machinery.
- High-Strength Material: Made from ductile iron or high-strength steel, the P1 bushing offers superior durability and resistance to deformation. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures longevity, even in harsh environments, making it suitable for agriculture, manufacturing, and other rugged industrial settings.
- Easy Installation and Removal: The split design allows for straightforward installation and disassembly without requiring extensive downtime. This feature reduces maintenance time and costs, enabling quick replacements or adjustments in busy industrial operations, enhancing overall system efficiency and productivity.
- Wide Bore Size Compatibility: Available in both inch and metric bore sizes, the P1 bushing accommodates various shaft diameters. This versatility makes it adaptable to diverse applications, from small machinery to large industrial systems, ensuring precise fits and reliable performance.
Split Taper Bushings vs. Taper Lock Bushings
Split taper bushings and taper lock bushings are both used to mount components like pulleys or sprockets onto shafts, but they differ in design and application:
Split Taper Bushings:
- Design: Feature a flanged, double-split barrel with a tapered outer surface. The split extends through the barrel, and sometimes the flange, allowing the bushing to compress tightly onto the shaft.
- Installation: Secured using cap screws that pull the bushing into the component’s tapered bore, clamping it to the shaft. The flange often has bolt holes for attachment.
- Advantages:
- Strong grip due to the double-split design, which enhances concentricity and torque transmission.
- Holds securely even if fasteners loosen, making it reliable for high-torque applications.
- Interchangeable between manufacturers and allows for shaft size flexibility.
- Applications: Common in sheaves, pulleys, and sprockets, especially where precise alignment and high torque are needed.
Taper Lock Bushings:
- Design: Have a single split along one side and a gradual taper along the length-thru-bore. They lack a flange, resulting in straight sides for flush mounting.
- Installation: Inserted into a matching tapered hub and tightened with set screws or cap screws, creating a wedging action to lock onto the shaft. No keyway is required in some cases.
- Advantages:
- Easier and faster to install/remove with minimal tools, ideal for frequent maintenance.
- Compact design with a shorter length-thru-bore, allowing narrower hubs and closer bearing mounting.
- Uniform stress distribution reduces shaft damage and supports high torque.
- Applications: Widely used in pulleys, sprockets, and rotors across various shaft sizes, especially where quick adjustments or compact designs are prioritized.
