Overview
The Martin SH-1/2 quick disconnect bushing is a split-taper coupling component for rapid pulley, sheave, and sprocket mounting on drive shafts. This Martin SH quick disconnect bushing is made of ductile iron and is used for mounting a quick disconnect pulley, sheave, or sprocket on a drive shaft. Bushings are cylindrical parts used to mount pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, or other components to drive shafts for the transmission of mechanical power. Most bushings are split and have a tapered outside surface so they will clamp to the shaft when tightened against the tapered bore of the driven component.
