Overview
The Martin 1610 1 taper bushing is a precision-engineered taper-lock bushing designed for secure mounting of taper-bushed components on drive shafts. Made of sintered steel and used for mounting a taper bushed pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft, this bushing delivers robust power transmission performance across industrial applications.
Key Features
- Flush mounted for reduced mounting width with a split taper for a tight clamp to shafts
- Sintered powder steel construction for greater strength and wear resistance than plain carbon steel
- Keyed to the shaft to prevent the shaft from rotating in the bushing, and interchangeable with taper bushings from various manufacturers
- Industry-standard 8-degree taper design for reliable engagement
- Finished with keyway for secure power transmission
