Our direct supply chain to Martin Sprockets factories gets a wider range of QD Bushings delivered at the right time at the right price.
Taper bushing are widely used together with sprockets, v-belt pulleys, timing pulleys, coupling and other mechanical parts with taper bore connections.
Taper bushing series are constructed with high quality engineered materials with great tolerance. The feature can be easy to use and needs no extra alteration. These bushings can suit almost all kinds of assemblies and sizes. They are the best choice in design for mechanical connections.
No costly re-boring: complete range of both metric and imperial offered.
Standard range suits up to 125mm/5″ shafts & Hub diameter required depends on the application.
Complete short reach range obtainable, for compact lightweight assemblies & Clean, Compact Design.
Ease of installation and removal.

The initial 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 initial. Assemble key.
3. Placement QD bushing on shaft. Tighten arranged screw over key “hand tight” with standard Allen wrench only. Do not use excessive force.
4. Slide large end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into placement over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
Notice: Install M thru S bushings in the hub so that both 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 should be a gap between your encounter 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 many other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split design to help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and a key on the bushing to help provide more drive.
QD bushings (” and metric sizes) possess a flanged design and feature a 4° taper with regular or reverse mounting. They are stocked in well-known finished 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, uses a set screw to operate a vehicle the bushing into the bore of the component being set up (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when setting up 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 design. Split Taper bushing also offers a flange, and both are not interchangeable. The QD design has a split that proceeds through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy set up while providing exceptional keeping power. QD Bushings are utilized thought out the industry offering convenience and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Steel and are installed by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing in to the taper bore of the product which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are often removed by using the cap screws as jack-screws. Dual drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting mounting of product in the conventional or reverse positions. This allows cap screws to become installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever can be most convenient. A significant benefit in installation, cap screws are usually inserted from the exterior where they are easily accessible. QD Bushings are available from stock with all well-known 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 applied to sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping pressure is necessary over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are essential for mounting v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.
