What is Taper bore sprocket?
A taper bore sprocket is a sprocket with a tapered center hole that allows for quick installation and adjustment on the shaft by working with a tapered sleeve (also called a taper sleeve or locking sleeve) on the shaft. Taper bore sprockets are called by different names, and here are some common nicknames: Taper Bushed Sprocket, Taper Lock Sprocket, Taper Bore Sprocket, Bushed Sprocket.
A tapered bore sprocket is a specially designed sprocket that features a tapered center hole instead of the traditional round hole. This design allows the sprocket to be installed and removed more easily, and the axial position of the sprocket can be adjusted during installation to achieve the best chain tension. Taper bore sprockets are very common in industrial applications because they provide more reliable fixing and better adjustment performance.
Main Components of Tapered Bore Sprocket
1. Sprocket body
- Gear ring: The outer edge of the sprocket with teeth that mesh with the chain.
- Hub: The center of the sprocket, used to install and fix the sprocket on the shaft.
- Taper hole: The tapered hole inside the hub, used to match the tapered sleeve or the tapered end face on the shaft.
2. Taper bushing
- Inner cone: The side that matches the tapered hole of the sprocket hub.
- Outer cone: The side that matches the tapered part on the shaft or the special locking device.
- Locking nut: Used to lock the sleeve so that it fits tightly between the sprocket and the shaft, thereby fixing the position of the sprocket.
Advantages of Taper Bore Sprocket Over Other Types of Sprockets
1. Easy to install and remove
- Quick installation: The tapered hole sprocket can be adjusted by rotating the locking nut, which enables quick installation. No complicated tools are required, and the operation is simple and fast.
- Keyless connection: No traditional keyway and key are required to fix the sprocket, which simplifies the assembly process.
- Convenient disassembly: When the sprocket needs to be maintained or replaced, the sprocket can be easily removed from the shaft by simply loosening the locking nut, reducing downtime and labor intensity.
2. Reliable positioning
- High-precision positioning: The tapered hole design allows the sprocket to be fine-tuned on the shaft, ensuring precise axial and radial positioning. This is especially important in applications that require high-precision transmission.
- Gapless connection: Through the close fit of the tapered hole and the locking device, any potential axial or radial clearance can be eliminated, ensuring a firm connection between the sprocket and the shaft.
- Prevent loosening: The design of the locking nut ensures that the sprocket will not loosen due to vibration or long-term operation, improving the stability of the system.
3. Strong adaptability
- Versatile: The tapered hole sprocket can be applied to a variety of different shaft sizes and shapes, increasing its application range.
- Adjustability: By adjusting the position of the locking nut, the position of the sprocket can be fine-tuned to meet different installation requirements.
- Scalability: When the number of sprockets needs to be increased or decreased, the tapered hole design makes it easier to add or remove sprockets.
4. Convenient maintenance
- Easy to check: Due to the simple installation and removal, it becomes easier to regularly check the wear of the sprocket, which helps to find and solve problems in time.
- Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the simple installation and removal process, the time and labor costs required for maintenance are reduced.
5. Reliable performance
- Reduced stress concentration: The keyless connection reduces the possibility of stress concentration and extends the service life of the sprocket and shaft.
- Uniform load distribution: The tapered hole design ensures a more uniform load distribution between the sprocket and the shaft, reduces local wear, and improves overall durability.
- Efficient power transmission: The tight fit between the tapered hole sprocket and the shaft ensures efficient power transmission and reduces energy loss.

How to install the taper lock sprocket？
- Clean and remove the oil stains on the middle hole of the taper bushing, the cone’s outer surface, and the sprocket’s inner conical surface. Insert the conical bushing into the sprocket (pay attention to aligning the half-threaded hole with the half-unloading hole)
- Coat the hexagon socket head screw with oil and screw it into the thread, but do not tighten it;
- Clean up and remove the oil stain on the shaft surface, and install the sprocket together with the tapered bushing at a proper position
- When using the key, first install the key into the keyway
- According to the torque shown in the table below, gradually tighten the hexagon socket screws with the hexagon socket torque wrench (dn911)
- After the load runs for some time (about half an hour), check and ensure that the screw still works under the appropriate tightening torque;
- To avoid ash, all gaps shall be filled with grease.
