Overview
The Martin 3020 2-15/16 taper bushing is a precision mechanical component engineered for reliable shaft mounting and power transmission. This taper lock bushing in the 3020 Series features a 2-15/16 inch bore with a 3/4 x 3/8 inch keyway, designed for mounting pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, and other driven components on rotating shafts. Manufactured from steel, it delivers consistent performance across industrial automation, machinery drive systems, and motion control applications.
Key Features
- Flush mounted for reduced mounting width with split taper for tight clamp to shafts
- Tapered non-flanged split design utilizes screws to tighten on the shaft, providing excellent clamping force
- Keyed to the shaft to prevent rotation and interchangeable with taper bushings from various manufacturers
- Steel construction for durability and wear resistance
- Used on sprockets, sheaves and pulleys to increase clamping force over standard bored-to-size products
Technical Specifications
This Martin 3020 2-15/16 taper bushing meets industry standards for shaft-mounted power transmission components. Key dimensional and performance characteristics include the following specification table.
Typical Applications
