Fenner Taper Lock Sheaves Taper Bush

A taper bush is a bushing which has a taper bore in the center and a longitudinal slit running its length. The taper bore of a bush is shaped to facilitate the engagement between the bushing and the hub. This bushing is used to hold the hub in place. It may be made of different materials. However, it is highly preferred that the bushing is made of a solid material such as plastic.

These bushes are available in metric and inch sizes and are designed for quick assembly and disassembly. They can also be removed easily without reboring. Among the leading manufacturers of taper bushes, Fenner is one of the most renowned. The company's taper bushes have the highest quality and are made of cast iron. They are used in a wide range of applications, including the power transmission industry.

In machine tool applications, a taper bush is used to secure machine elements onto cylindrical shafts. It features a tapered surface to allow for maximum flexibility between the main component and the abutting hub. Taper bushes are machined in accordance to ISO standards. The QTL tapered bush is a good example of this. Its diameter is small and it fits over a tapered hub. This taper bush is the most widely used type of taper bushes.

The Fenner Taper Lock four hole bush is made of steel and cast iron. It is manufactured to exact tolerances and is one of the most widely used shaft fixings in the market. Available in metric and imperial shaft sizes, this bush is widely used for mounting fan rotors, steel and plate sprockets. A quality manufacturer will provide an installation guide. In addition to providing a quality bush, Fenner also offers a metric version for machined parts.

A taper bush offers the fastest way to fix components to a shaft. Because they are pre-machined, they are a cost-effective and convenient way to attach components to a shaft. The taper bushes also offer a wide range of bore sizes and shaft diameters. You can order them in sizes ranging from 150mm to eight inches and have them made with pilot bores if necessary. Moreover, Challenge bushes are manufactured with shallow keyways to facilitate easier mounting.

The main disadvantages of using a taper bush are: lack of symmetry. The system has an uneven balance between the hub and the bush and this can lead to excessive vibration in the operation, especially in vibration-sensitive situations. It can also affect the flexibility of a structure, which is why it is advisable to choose taper bushes with sufficient rigidity. This is a good choice for those who need high-torque applications.
