Tapered Locking Bushes

These tapered locking bushes are commonly used in pulley assemblies, to provide a keyless, self-centring shaft connection that clamps securely as mounting bolts are tightened. This allows quick fitting and removal without damaging the shaft, simplifying maintenance on drive assemblies. Because no keyway is required, the shaft retains its full strength, which can be an advantage in applications where shaft fatigue is a concern.
