1310 Taper Lock Bushing Features
The 1310 Taper-Lock Bushing is a widely used component in power transmission systems, known for its reliable design and ease of use. Here are its key features:
- Tapered Design: It features an 8-degree taper, which allows it to wedge inward and securely grip the shaft and the bore of a compatible component, such as a sprocket or pulley, providing a strong, concentric fit.
- Bore Size Range: Available in a variety of bore sizes, typically ranging from 1/2″ to 1-3/8″ for imperial measurements and up to 35mm for metric sizes, offering flexibility for different shaft diameters.
- Compact and Flush Mount: The bushing fits flush into the tapered hub of the component, resulting in a clean, compact installation with no protruding parts.
- Easy Installation and Removal: It uses a split design and mounting screws (often grub screws or cap screws), making it simple to install and remove without requiring extensive tools or downtime.
- Material: Commonly made from steel (sometimes sintered steel or grey cast iron), providing strength and durability, with some versions featuring a black oxide coating for added resistance to wear and corrosion.
- Keyway Options: Many models include a keyway (e.g., 8 x 3.3 mm for metric sizes), enhancing torque transmission and preventing slippage on the shaft.
- Length and Dimensions: Typically, it has a length of about 1 inch (25.4 mm) through the bore, with a maximum outer diameter of around 2 inches, though this varies slightly by manufacturer.
- Versatility: Compatible with Taper-Lock sheaves, sprockets, and pulleys, it's suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial machinery, automotive drives, and printing equipment.
Taper Lock Bushing vs. QD Bushing
Taper Lock bushings and QD (Quick Detachable) bushings are two popular types of mechanical bushings used to mount pulleys, sprockets, or other components onto a shaft in power transmission systems. Both serve the same fundamental purpose—securing a component to a shaft without the need for extensive machining or keyways—but they differ in design, installation, and application suitability.
A Taper Lock bushing features a tapered, split design that creates a tight, friction-based fit between the shaft and the mounted component. The bushing consists of a flanged outer body and a tapered inner sleeve, typically split along one side to allow it to compress around the shaft. Installation involves inserting the bushing into the hub of the component (e.g., a pulley), sliding it onto the shaft, and tightening a series of cap screws. As the screws are tightened, the tapered surfaces wedge together, contracting the bushing onto the shaft and expanding it into the hub, creating a secure, concentric fit. This design ensures high torque transmission and eliminates play between the shaft and component. Removal is straightforward: loosening the screws allows the bushing to relax, and a threaded hole in the flange can be used to push it out. Taper Lock bushings are widely used in industrial applications like conveyors, fans, and pumps due to their reliability, ease of installation, and ability to accommodate a range of shaft sizes with standardized components.
In contrast, a QD bushing, or Quick Detachable bushing, is designed for fast installation and removal, emphasizing convenience. It also uses a tapered fit but incorporates a flanged bushing with a separate, removable cap that bolts onto the hub of the component. The QD bushing is slid onto the shaft, and the cap is tightened with bolts, pulling the bushing into the hub and clamping it onto the shaft. This creates a strong, uniform grip similar to the Taper Lock, but the key advantage is its removal process: loosening the bolts and using them in jacking holes on the flange allows the bushing to pop off quickly without additional tools. QD bushings often include a keyway for added torque capacity, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications like large motors or crushers. Their design also tends to distribute stress more evenly across the shaft, reducing wear.
