Overview
The Dodge 3535 taper-lock bushing is a compact, high-performance power transmission coupling component manufactured to industrial standards. This 1-3/8″ bore variant is engineered for reliable shaft-to-hub engagement in conveyors, pumps, fans, motors, and other rotating machinery. The 8° taper design ensures a secure grip without slippage, eliminating wobble and vibration during continuous operation.
Key Features
- 8° Taper Design: Grips tight, holds tight, runs true with no wobble
- Flush Mounting: Easy installation and removal; fits flush into tapered bushing sprockets and pulleys
- Steel Construction: Made of steel with black oxide coating for corrosion resistance
- Simple On/Off Operation—no special tools required for quick adjustments
- Compact footprint ideal for space-constrained applications
