Overview
The Dodge 272135 twin-tapered bushing is a critical power transmission component designed specifically for Torque-Arm TXT7 speed reducers. This 3-7/16″ bore tapered bushing assembly combines split-bushing design with flanged mounting for secure, vibration-resistant coupling in heavy-duty industrial environments. Manufactured from ductile iron (Class 65), the 272135 delivers maximum torque capacity with fast, tool-free installation, making it ideal for OEM equipment builders and field maintenance teams requiring drop-in replacement performance.
Key Features
- Twin-Tapered Design: Fully split construction with clamp-fit mounting ensures stable support on both reducer sides and accommodates easy removal without disassembly
- Ductile Iron Construction (Class 65): Provides superior strength and shock-load resilience compared to cast iron, extending service life in shock-duty applications
- Flanged Bushing Mount: Eliminates radial play and prevents axial drift during operation, ensuring precise shaft alignment
- Full-Length Shaft Key: Integrated keyed design prevents rotational slip and simplifies assembly
- High Rated Torque (65,553 in-lb): Engineered to handle peak loads in speed-reduction applications without performance degradation
- Installation Torque 800 in-lb: Standardized installation specification ensures consistent, repeatable mounting across equipment lineups
