qd bushing

Our direct supply chain to Martin Sprockets factories gets a wider selection of QD Bushings delivered at the right time at the right price.
Taper bushing are widely used together with sprockets, v-belt pulleys, timing pulleys, coupling and other mechanical parts with taper bore connections.
Taper bushing series are made from high quality engineered components with great tolerance. The feature is easy to make use of and needs no extra alteration. These bushings can match almost all kinds of assemblies and sizes. They are the best choice in style for mechanical connections.
No costly re-boring: full range of both metric and imperial available.


Simple installation and removal.

Ease of installation and removal.
The original sheave and pulley mounting program developed to facilitate installation and substitute of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design provides for both conventional (flange outboard) and invert (flange inboard) installation configurations.
1. Be certain the tapered cone surfaces of the bushing and the inside of the driven product are clean and free of anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end 1st. Assemble key.
3. Placement QD bushing on shaft. Tighten established screw over key “hand tight” with standard Allen wrench only. Do not use excessive force.
4. Slide huge end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into position over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
NOTE: Install M thru S bushings in the hub so that the two extra holes in the hub are located as far as possible from the bushing's noticed cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque desk on back. Do not use extensions on wrench handles. There must be a gap between the encounter of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a satisfactory cone grasp and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power transmission applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and a key on the bushing to help provide more drive.
QD bushings (in . and metric sizes) possess a flanged style and feature a 4° taper with conventional or reverse installation. They are stocked in well-known finished bore sizes and minimum plain bore for customized reboring.
Many people make reference to both types as a “taper lock” because they both utilize the tapered wedging action to lock to the shaft. The taper bushing, with it's straight sides, uses a set screw to drive the bushing into the bore of the component being installed (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when installing these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal only. Also remember that the appearance of a flange on the outside of the bushing doesn't necessarily mean it's a QD style. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and the two aren't interchangeable. The QD style includes a split that proceeds through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy set up while providing exceptional holding power. QD Bushings are used thought out the industry offering comfort and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Steel and are installed by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing in to the taper bore of the merchandise which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are easily removed utilizing the cap screws as jack-screws. Dual drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting installation of product in the conventional or reverse positions. This enables cap screws to become installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever is usually most convenient. A substantial benefit in installation, cap screws are at all times inserted from the exterior where they are often accessible. QD Bushings can be found from share with all popular bores within the range of each size bushing.
QD Bushings include a split tapered flange with the split central to the flange and taper. They are applied to sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping force is necessary over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are essential for installation v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.
