Locating bush

The taper bush system offers a simple, cost-effective and flexible variant of the shaft-hub connection. Due to the internationally standardised sizes of the taper bushings, changes to the bore diameters can be implemented easily and quickly from stock. Our high-quality taper bushes are made of grey cast iron EN-GJL-200 (old GG-20) and are supplied ready for installation with cylindrical metric or imperial bores, keyways according to DIN 6885/1 or BS46 and mounting screws. The principle of the cone-clamp connection offers the advantage of a very short installation length compared to conventional keyway connections. The clamping on the shaft results in additional axial securing. This feature also enables the transmission of low torques without the use of a key. Advantages Extensive standard range High availability Favourable price-performance ratio Interchangeable due to international standardisation Simple and quick assembly and disassembly Short overall length Universally applicable In addition to our standard range, we also supply special sizes on request, e.g. 6050, 7060, 8065 and 10085 with bores up to 250 mm. Special designs with e.g. internal splines, keyways according to American ANSI standard or in alternative materials are also possible. Areas of application Due to the versatile use of the Taper Lock bush in pulleys (V-belts, toothed belts, ribbed belts, etc.), sprockets and shaft couplings, it can be used in numerous applications throughout the general mechanical and plant engineering sector, as well as in agriculture and forestry
