Taper lock bushes, also known as taper lock bushings or taper bushes, are mechanical components used for securing rotating components, such as pulleys, sprockets, or gears, onto shafts in various industrial applications. They provide a secure and concentric connection between the shaft and the mounted component. Taper lock bushes are commonly used to transmit torque and rotation between the shaft and the mounted part.

Here's how they work:

- **Tapered Design:** Taper lock bushes have a tapered bore that matches the taper on the shaft. The inside surface of the bushing is conical, and it fits onto the matching conical section of the shaft.
- **Keyless Locking:** Taper lock bushes eliminate the need for keys, keyways, or setscrews that were traditionally used to secure rotating components to shafts. This keyless design simplifies installation and reduces the risk of backlash and component misalignment.
- **Installation Process:** To install a taper lock bush, you slide it onto the shaft's tapered end. As you tighten the bushing's locking screws or bolts, it compresses onto the shaft's taper, creating a tight and secure fit. This locks the bushing in place on the shaft.
- **Mounting Component:** Once the taper lock bush is installed on the shaft, the rotating component (such as a pulley, sprocket, or gear) is placed over the bushing. The component typically has a matching taper that fits precisely onto the bushing's taper.
- **Final Locking:** As you tighten the locking screws or bolts on the taper lock bush, the bushing expands radially, creating a strong and secure connection between the shaft, the bushing, and the mounted component. This ensures that the mounted component rotates with the shaft, transmitting torque and power effectively.

Taper lock bushes come in various sizes to accommodate different shaft diameters and component sizes. They are widely used in industrial applications where reliable and efficient power transmission is crucial, such as conveyor systems, industrial machinery, and automotive equipment. The key advantages of taper lock bushes include easy installation, precise alignment, and the ability to handle high torque loads.



Taper bushes are a type of locking mechanism that use screws to tighten onto a power transmission drive for locating pulleys and sprockets.
