Overview
The Dodge 097024 S16-6 TL is a precision Taper-Lock Type S weld-on hub designed for industrial power transmission applications. This hub features taper-lock technology for reliable, repeatable shaft engagement without keyways or set screws. Constructed from 1015–1025 steel and drilled with taper bores, it mounts directly to shafts through the standardized Taper-Lock bushing interface.
