Bushings and Hubs
Bushings and hubs are available in a wide range of models with specific advantages in power transmission applications from automotive to paper.
Our bushings and hubs are made of high-quality steel. Most are phosphate coated or blackened to improve corrosion resistance. We offer tapered locking bushings, QD bushings, and weld-on and bolt-on hubs.
All bushings can be easily installed and removed with basic tools, resulting in minimal downtime during each installation.
A wide range of sizes and types of matched products are available off-the-shelf at short notice, and customization is also supported at Ever-power. Contact now!
Simplify Installation,Easy to Fit, High Quality Bushings and Hubs
QD Bushings
QD bushings are popular in many industrial applications. They are tapered, split through their flanges, and offer superior clamping force on shafts. They are commonly used in sprockets, pulleys, and sheaves. This design can increase the clamping force by up to 10 times over the standard bored-to-size bushing.
Taper Lock Bushings
Taper lock bushings are machined components that lock the corresponding taper to the shaft. They are characterized by their high torque ratings and are available in metric, inch, and metric-inch sizes. This makes them ideal for materials handling equipment.
Stainless Steel Taper Lock Bushings
Stainless steel taper lock bushings are precision-machined compression bushings that have multiple applications. These taper lock bushings are available in different sizes and bores and can be custom-made and are made to fit a variety of industries.
Split Taper Bushings
Split taper bushings are flanged bushings used in mounting pulleys, sprockets, and sheaves on a shaft. The split on the barrel allows the component to be keyed to the shaft, preventing loosening or slipping. They are available in decimal and metric sizes.
Taper Bore Weld-on Hubs
Weld-on Hubs are a great option for mounting taper bushes to a shaft. These standardized components are made of steel and are drilled, tapped, and taper-bored for easy installation. In addition to their ease of installation, these hubs are able to handle severe operating conditions.
Taper Bore Bolt on Hubs
Taper Bore Bolt on Hubs are designed to use taper bushes to secure the hub to a shaft. The flanges on the taper-bore hubs extend past the hub, allowing easy welding. Taper-bore bolt on hubs are used in a variety of applications and are available in a variety of sizes.
Taper Bore Adapters
Taper Bore adapters are designed to fit in a flanged threaded hole. They are generally cylindrical in shape, with a central cylindrical bore which is the same diameter as the cylindrical part 41 of the taper adapter member 13. They are supported on a face 33 and have square keys 36 which are diametrically spaced from one another.
What Are the Different Types of Bushings?
There are many types of bushings. Some of these are self-lubricating, while others need grease or oil. Plain bearings are commonly used in ship propellers, compressors, and steam turbines. These are economical solutions for low-speed shafting and intermittent operations. Bushings are also useful in food processing and other industries, where lubricants are often not required. They also vary in material composition, and some types are suitable for high pressure. Understanding these differences will help you choose the best type of bushing for your needs.
The first major difference between solid and split bushings is their construction. Solid bushings have the tightest OD and wall tolerances of any type of bushing on the market today. They are typically manufactured with a layer of babbitt material and seamless construction. They also avoid the machine-in-place process required in split bushings. Split bushings are generally used in low-load applications, such as shift linkages. However, we are also making split bushings available for internal transmission components.
Plain bearings, also known as bushings, are a type of bearing that uses soft metal to reduce friction between a rotating shaft and a stationary support. The bushing is made of babbit, soft metal, or plastic, which can be either machined or fabricated.
The common types such as QD bushing, split taper bushing, taper locking bushings are all available at Ever-power.
Features of Ever-power Bushings and Hubs
- Easy to install
Installing the bushings and hubs is a simple process. Before installing any bushings, make sure the bolts have lock washers. Then, use a torque wrench to tighten them evenly and progressively. Make sure that the torque values listed on the captive screws are consistent around the entire hub. After tightening all nuts and bolts, you can remove the mating hub by loosening the screws and twisting the hub in a circular motion.
- Low Maintenance
Low-maintenance bushings and hubs have several benefits. They are low maintenance, lightweight, corrosion resistant and durable. They overcome concerns about heat sensitivity, softening and shortened life at high temperatures. In addition, they perform well in wet conditions.
