Overview
The Dodge 3535X338 taper-lock bushing is a split, tapered bushing engineered for industrial power transmission applications. This stock-bore unit provides superior shaft-to-hub clamping force compared to keyway-only fastening, making it ideal for mounting sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys on rotating shafts. The 3-3/8″ bore accommodates standard shaft diameters while the 8° taper geometry ensures even load distribution and secure mechanical coupling.
Key Features
- 8° taper design for wedging action and superior holding power
- Split bushing construction allows tool-free installation without shaft removal
- Black oxide coating resists corrosion in industrial environments
- Three-bolt fastening system with 1/2 x 1-1/2″ screws for secure assembly
- Cast iron body rated for 44,800 in-lb continuous torque capacity
- 7/8 x 1/4″ keyway provides additional anti-rotation security
