The original sheave and pulley installation system developed to facilitate installation and alternative of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design offers 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. Position QD bushing on shaft. Tighten established screw over key “hand tight” with regular Allen wrench only. 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 so that the two extra holes in the hub are located as far as feasible from the bushing’s noticed cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque table on back. Do not use extensions on wrench handles. There must be a gap between your encounter of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a satisfactory cone hold and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
Use a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and several other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings include a completely split design to help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper has a flange and a key on the bushing to greatly help provide more drive.
QD bushings (” and metric sizes) have a flanged design and feature a 4° taper with typical or reverse mounting. They are stocked in popular completed bore sizes and minimal plain bore for custom reboring.
Many people make reference 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 drive the bushing into the bore of the component becoming installed (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when setting up these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal just. Also be aware that the looks of a flange externally of the bushing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a QD design. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and both are not interchangeable. The QD style has a split that continues through the flange. The Metal QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy installation while providing exceptional keeping power. QD Bushings are used considered the industry offering comfort and design versatility. They are precision machined of quality Metal and are installed by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing in to the taper bore of the merchandise 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 installation of product in the traditional or reverse positions. This enables cap screws to end up being installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever is certainly most convenient. A significant benefit in installation, cap screws are constantly inserted from the outside where they are easily accessible. QD Bushings are available from stock with all popular bores within the number 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 pressure is required over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are essential for installation v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.

Our direct supply chain to Martin Sprockets factories gets a wider selection of QD Bushings delivered at the proper time at the proper 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 made of high quality engineered components with great tolerance. The feature is easy to use and needs no extra alteration. These bushings can suit almost all kinds of assemblies and sizes. They will be the best choice in style for mechanical connections.
No costly re-boring: complete selection of both metric and imperial offered.
Standard range matches up to 125mm/5″ shafts & Hub diameter required depends upon the application.
Complete short reach range obtainable, for compact lightweight assemblies & Clean, Compact Design.
Ease of installation and removal.
The initial sheave and pulley installation program developed to facilitate installation and alternative 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 areas of the bushing and the within of the driven product are clean and free from anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end 1st. Assemble key.
3. Placement QD bushing on shaft. Tighten set screw over key “hands tight” with regular Allen wrench only. Usually 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.
NOTE: Install M thru S bushings in the hub so that both extra holes in the hub are located 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. Do not make use of extensions on wrench handles. There must be a gap between your encounter of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a reasonable cone hold and press fit.

A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an internal screw to greatly help drive the bushing in to the shaft, while a split taper has 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 typical or reverse mounting. They are stocked in popular finished bore sizes and minimum plain bore for customized reboring.
Many people make reference 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, uses a set screw to operate a vehicle the bushing in to the bore of the component getting installed (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when setting up these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal only. Also remember that the looks of a flange on the outside of the bushing doesn’t indicate it’s a QD design. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and both aren’t interchangeable. The QD style has a split that proceeds through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers versatile and easy set up 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 many cap screws. This draws the bushing into 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. Double drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting installation of product in the conventional or reverse positions. This allows cap screws to become installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever is definitely most convenient. A substantial benefit in installation, cap screws are usually inserted from the outside where they are often accessible. QD Bushings can be found from share 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 applied to sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping power is necessary over standard bored-to-size bushings.
