Overview
The Dodge 393170 is a KW-series taper-lock bushing engineered for reliable shaft attachment in mechanical power transmission systems. Featuring an 85mm diameter with 3535 standard bore dimensions, this bushing combines a proven tapered design with compact mounting geometry. Dodge taper-lock bushings are flangeless for clean, compact application with an 8° taper and flush-mounted design providing secure locking and elimination of wobble. The unit arrives new in box, ready for immediate deployment in demanding industrial applications.
Key Features
- 8° taper design with flush-mounted construction and no protruding parts
- Clean, compact design recognized as an industry standard for over 40 years
- Easy-on, easy-off installation without specialized pullers
- Used to mount sprockets, pulleys, and couplings onto shafts with a cylindrical body that gradually increases in diameter and has a linear split for compression
- No lubricants or anti-seize compounds required on tapered bore
- Simple mounting using setscrew installation holes and removal holes for convenient service
