Overview
The Gates 4535 3-3/8 Taper-Lock Bushing is a precision industrial coupling component designed for mechanical power transmission in sheaves, sprockets, and pulley systems. This flangeless, cast-iron bushing provides secure shaft-to-hub mounting with an engineered 8° taper and flush-mounted design that eliminates protruding parts and ensures zero wobble during operation. Suitable for automotive, printing, manufacturing, and industrial equipment applications.
