What is the goal of the tapered bushing? Tapered bushings are commonly utilised to mount pulleys, sprockets and pulleys on shafts. They are split, have no flange bushings, use screws to hold the shaft, and give good clamping drive. Tapered bushings are typically used for recessed ceiling lights since they have an even mounting spacing and, if installed accurately, they are extremely effective in substantial torque purposes.
Tapered sockets are designed for fast assembly and disassembly of pulleys and other transmission equipment without having the need for specific tools other than a hex essential. Various machined holes make sure quick local community, avoiding high priced factory downtime. Bushings are keyways machined to British Standard Specs. This is in addition to the clamping screw, which is enough for the necessary torque in many instances. Tightening with a tapered bushing eliminates any hole between the hub and the bore, which removes fretting corrosion.
