How does a taper lock coupling work?
Taper lock bushes are used for mechanical joining of a shaft to a sprocket or a pulley. It is fastened tightly to the shaft via its tapered surface with the matching component. It provides flexibility between the main component to be suitable with many shaft sizes.
What is the first step to remove a taper lock on a shaft?
Loosen the bushing by first tightening the screw furthest from the bushing saw slot, then, alternately tighten remaining screws. Keep tightening the screws in small but equal increments until the tapered sprocket/sheave and bushing disengage.
Does a taper lock need a key?
The Taper Lock bush, also referred to as a Taper bush or Taper Fit bush, is a locking mechanism commonly used in Power Transmission Drives for locating pulleys, sprockets, and couplings to shafts. The Taper Lock bush is pre-bored and keyed to match the required shaft and keyway diameters.
What are taper lock bushings used for?
Gates Taper-Lock bushings are used to mount pulleys, sprockets and sheaves on shafts.
What is a taper lock bushing?
How to remove split taper bearing sheaves?
Tighten the capscrews according to the instructions furnished with the bushings. HOW TO REMOVE SPLIT TAPER BEARING SHEAVES. Remove all capscrews. Put two of the capscrews in the tapped holes in the flange of the bushing. Turn the bolts alternately and evenly until the sheave has loosened.
How do you remove Taper Lock bushing from car?
Loosen and remove all mounting bolts. Insert cap screws into all threaded jack screw holes. Loosen the bushing by first tightening the screw furthest from the bushing saw slot, then, alternately tighten remaining screws. Keep tightening the screws in small but equal increments until the tapered sprocket/sheave and bushing disengage.
When do you need a deep groove sheave?
Deep groove sheaves are intended for drives with belt offset such as quarter-turn or vertical shaft drives. (See Power Transmission Belt Technical Information Bulletin No.10.) They may also be necessary where oscillations in the center distance may occur.
Can a joined belt drive use a deep groove sheave?
Deep groove sheaves are intended for drives with belt offset such as quarter-turn or vertical shaft drives. (See RMA Power Transmission Belt Technical Information Bulletin No. 10.) Joined belts will not operate in deep groove sheaves. *The “a” values shown for the A/B combination sheaves are the geometrically derived values.
