The TAPER-LOCK bushing from DODGE is a power transmission component used to secure pulleys, gears, sprockets and other rotating elements onto cylindrical shafts. Its tapered design allows for simple mounting and dismounting and a firm interference fit, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this official brand in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct size for your application.

The TAPER-LOCK series is identified by its numeric designation, which indicates the shaft diameter in inches or millimeters depending on the variant. For example, a 1610 bushing corresponds to a 1 inch diameter and a 1 inch length, while a 2517 is used for 25 mm shafts. Suffixes may indicate the measurement system or the type of keyway. To select the right one, have on hand the shaft diameter and the hub dimensions of the element to be mounted.

These bushings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, chemical, mining and logistics. They are found in conveyors, mills, mixers, pumps and fans, where a reliable connection between the shaft and the transmission element is required. Their ability to transmit torque without slipping makes them ideal for applications with moderate to high loads and variable speeds.

For correct mounting, verify that the shaft and the hub bore are clean and free of burrs. Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the thread and the tapered surface to facilitate the fit and prevent galling. The set screws must be tightened evenly and progressively, following the torque recommended by the manufacturer. Proper alignment between shaft and hub extends the service life of the bushing and the associated bearings.

Regarding equivalences, TAPER-LOCK bushings are interchangeable among different manufacturers that adopt the same dimensional standard. However, it is essential to verify tolerances and material to guarantee a correct fit. MR Accesorios Industriales carries the DODGE brand and can guide you on compatibility with other brands, without the need to modify the shaft or the hub.
