Overview
The Dodge 2012-1-1/2 taper-lock bushing is a precision shaft-locking component engineered for reliable power transmission in industrial machinery. Manufactured by Dodge (ABB/Baldor), this Type 2012 bushing delivers secure, wobble-free engagement on 1-1/2″ bore shafts. The 8-degree taper design automatically eliminates clearances between the key and bushing, creating a positive fit suitable for motors rated at 1-1/2 KW and comparable equipment across manufacturing, process automation, and material handling applications.
Key Features
- Flangeless, Flush-Mounted Design — No protruding parts for clean, compact installation in tight spaces.
- 8-Degree Taper — Provides secure locking and eliminates wobble without puller removal requirement.
- Sintered Steel Construction — High-strength material for reliable long-term performance.
- Standard Keyway — 3/8″ × 3/16″ keyway for common industrial shaft fitment.
- Drop-In Replacement — Direct fit for OEM 2012 Series bushings in standard bore configurations.
