Overview
The Dodge 117106 taper-lock bushing is a precision mechanical power transmission component designed for secure shaft mounting in industrial machinery. Part number 117106 represents the 3020 series with 1-1/4″ KW (keyway) bore specification. This flangeless design ensures clean, compact installation in belt drives, chain drives, and coupling applications where reliable torque transmission is critical.
Key Features
- 8° Taper Design: Engineered wedging action grips shaft and bore securely without wobble or slippage
- Flush-Mounted Construction: No protruding parts allow clean fit in tight spaces and standard equipment
- High-Strength Material: Steel construction with protective finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
- Easy Installation/Removal: Taper-lock system allows quick on-off operation with hand tools—no welding or machining required
- Load Distribution: Tapered geometry distributes load evenly across shaft surface, reducing stress concentration and extending component life
Technical Specifications
For detailed dimensional specifications including bore diameter, overall length, keyway dimensions, bolt circle, and torque ratings, consult the Dodge 3020 series technical documentation or contact your distributor with the part number 117106.
