The SKF PHF TB line taper bushing is a fastening component used to mount pulleys, gears, sprockets and other elements onto cylindrical shafts. Its tapered design allows a firm, centered fit when it is compressed against the hub by means of screws. It is a practical solution for power transmission because it simplifies mounting and removal without the need for special machining on the shaft.
The PHF TB designation identifies SKF taper bushings with a screw fastening system. The number that follows indicates the bushing size: the higher the number, the larger the outer diameter and capacity. The suffix after the X indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters, as in PHF TB1008X9MM or PHF TB1008X16MM. Thus, the complete part number tells you the bushing size and the shaft diameter for which it was made.
These bushings are used in industries such as food, mining, cement and in aggregate processing plants. They also appear in conveyors, mixers, fans and pumps. In Argentina, they are common in the maintenance of production lines where pulleys or gears need to be changed frequently. Because they do not require a keyway on the shaft, they simplify replacement and reduce downtime.
To select the bushing, verify that the shaft diameter matches the suffix in the part number and that the bushing size is compatible with the hub of the element to be mounted. During installation, clean the tapered surfaces, apply the specified torque to the screws gradually and verify the alignment between pulleys. Proper lubrication of the thread and the use of lock washers help prevent loosening.
SKF taper bushings are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. If you need to replace an existing bushing, compare the complete part number: the size number and the shaft diameter must match. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF, and we can guide you so you choose the correct component.
Before requesting a quote, have on hand the part number engraved on the bushing or the measurements of the shaft and hub. With that data, we will send you a proposal tailored to your needs. Write to us via WhatsApp and we will reply shortly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which taper bushing I need?
- You need two pieces of data: the shaft diameter (the mm suffix in the part number) and the bushing size (the number, such as 1008). Verify that the hub of the pulley or gear is compatible with that size. If you have doubts, send us the measurements and we will advise you.
- Are SKF bushings compatible with other brands?
- Yes, taper bushings that follow the dimensional standard are interchangeable between brands. Even so, always compare the complete part number: the size number and the shaft diameter must match for correct mounting. If in doubt, ask us.
- What torque should I apply to the screws?
- The torque depends on the bushing size and is generally indicated in the manufacturer's catalog or in the technical documentation. Apply the torque gradually and in a cross pattern for a uniform fit. If you don't have the figure, contact us and we will provide it.
