Overview
The Martin 2012-1-5/8 taper bushing is a precision-engineered split taper lock bushing built for reliable shaft-mounted power transmission applications. With a 1.625-inch bore diameter and durable steel construction, this non-flanged design delivers excellent clamping force when fastened to tapered component bores. Whether mounting pulleys, sheaves, or sprockets, the Martin 2012-1-5/8 provides the mechanical holding strength and flush positioning needed in industrial machinery.
Key Features
- Non-flanged, flush-mount design eliminates protruding parts and installation complexity
- Split taper construction delivers increased clamping force over standard bored-to-size bushings
- Steel material provides durability in demanding power transmission environments
- Two-bolt mounting configuration with standardized screw torque specifications for straightforward installation
- Finished keyway accommodates shaft keys to prevent rotational slip
