The original sheave and pulley mounting program developed to facilitate installation and replacement of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design provides for both conventional (flange outboard) and reverse (flange inboard) mounting configurations.
1. Be certain the tapered cone surfaces of the bushing and the inside of the driven product are clean and free of anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end 1st. Assemble key.
3. Placement QD bushing on shaft. Tighten established screw over key “hand tight” with regular Allen wrench only. Usually do not use excessive force.
4. Slide huge end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into position over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
NOTE: Install M thru S bushings in the hub to ensure that the two extra holes in the hub can be found as far as feasible from the bushing’s saw cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque desk on back. Usually do not use extensions on wrench handles. There must be a gap between your face of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a satisfactory cone grasp and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and several other power transmission applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and a key on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive.
QD bushings (inch and metric sizes) have a flanged design and feature a 4° taper with standard or reverse mounting. They are stocked in popular completed bore sizes and minimal plain bore for custom reboring.
Many people refer to both types as a “taper lock” because they both use the tapered wedging action to lock to the shaft. The taper bushing, with it’s straight sides, runs on the set screw to drive the bushing in to the bore of the component becoming set up (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when installing these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal just. Also remember that the looks of a flange on the outside of the bushing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a QD style. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and the two aren’t interchangeable. The QD style has a split that continues through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers versatile and easy installation while providing exceptional holding power. QD Bushings are used considered the industry offering convenience and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Metal and are set up by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing into the taper bore of the product which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are easily removed by using the cap screws as jack-screws. Double drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting installation of product in the conventional or reverse positions. This enables cap screws to end up being installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever can be most convenient. A substantial benefit in installation, cap screws are generally inserted from the outside where they are often accessible. QD Bushings are available from stock with all popular bores within the range of each size bushing.
QD Bushings feature a split tapered flange with the split central to the flange and taper. They are used on sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping power is required over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are crucial for installation v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.

Our immediate supply chain to Martin Sprockets factories gets a wider selection of QD Bushings delivered at the right time at the proper price.
Taper bushing are trusted together with sprockets, v-belt pulleys, timing pulleys, coupling and other mechanical parts with taper bore connections.
Taper bushing series are made from high quality engineered components with great tolerance. The feature is definitely easy to use and needs no additional alteration. These bushings can fit almost all types of assemblies and sizes. They will be the best choice in design for mechanical connections.
No costly re-boring: full range of both metric and imperial obtainable.
Standard range fits up to 125mm/5″ shafts & Hub diameter required depends on the application.
Complete brief reach range obtainable, for compact lightweight assemblies & Clean, Compact Design.
Simple installation and removal.
The initial sheave and pulley mounting system developed to facilitate installation and substitute of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design provides for both conventional (flange outboard) and reverse (flange inboard) mounting configurations.
1. Be sure the tapered cone areas of the bushing and the within of the driven product are clean and free of anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end 1st. Assemble key.
3. Position QD bushing on shaft. Tighten established screw over key “hand tight” with regular Allen wrench only. Usually do not use excessive force.
4. Slide large end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into position over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
Take note: Install M thru S bushings in the hub to ensure that both extra holes in the hub can be found as far as feasible from the bushing’s noticed cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque desk on back. Do not make use of extensions on wrench handles. There should be a gap between the face of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a reasonable cone grasp and press fit.

Make use of a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power tranny applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to greatly help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and an integral on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive.
QD bushings (in . and metric sizes) have a flanged style and feature a 4° taper with conventional or reverse installation. They are stocked in popular completed bore sizes and minimum plain bore for customized reboring.
Many people refer to both types as a “taper lock” because they both utilize the tapered wedging action to lock to the shaft. The taper bushing, with it’s straight sides, runs on the set screw to operate a vehicle the bushing into the bore of the component getting installed (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be cautious when installing these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal only. Also be aware that the appearance of a flange externally of the bushing doesn’t indicate it’s a QD style. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and the two aren’t interchangeable. The QD design has a split that continues through the flange. The Metal QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy installation while providing exceptional holding power. QD Bushings are used considered the industry offering convenience and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Steel and are installed by tightening a number of cap screws. This draws the bushing in to the taper bore of the merchandise which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are easily removed utilizing the cap screws as jack-screws. Dual drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting installation of product in the conventional or reverse positions. This enables cap screws to become installed through item hub or bushing flange whichever is definitely most convenient. A significant benefit in set up, cap screws are at all times inserted from the outside where they are often accessible.
