Overview
The Baldor Dodge 117235 is an industry-standard size 3535 taper-lock bushing designed for efficient power transmission in industrial machinery. This cast iron bushing couples rotating shafts to hubs and pulleys with minimal axial play and superior holding power. The 8-degree taper wedge grips tight under load, delivering consistent torque transfer and eliminating runout—critical for conveyor systems, motor-driven equipment, and heavy-duty industrial drives.
