A TAPER-LOCK taper bushing sits between the shaft and the driven part, whether that is a pulley, a sprocket or a coupling. Tightening its screws draws the tapered surfaces together, so the assembly centers itself and grips the shaft without hammering or press fits. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the DODGE line in a range of sizes for power transmission work.

The four-digit designation tells you two things at a glance. The first pair of digits is the nominal bore in inches, and the second pair is the bushing length. A 1008 takes a shaft up to 1 inch, while a 2517 goes up to 2 1/2 inches. The same reading applies to the larger series, including 3030, 3535 and 4030. Common sizes stocked by MR include 1008, 1108, 1210, 1215, 1310, 1610, 1615 and 2517. Once you know the shaft size, the code narrows the choice quickly.

Typical installations are fans, pumps, conveyor drives and mixers, where the bushing has to hold torque without slipping. Plants in food processing, chemical, mining and metallurgical operations rely on this style of connection because it is simple to service and easy to replace when a spare is needed. Because the bushing is a standard component, keeping a few sizes on the shelf covers many of the drives in a plant.

Choosing the right one comes down to shaft diameter, transmitted torque and the nature of the load. Before mounting, wipe the taper on both the bushing and the mating hub and check for burrs. Apply lubricant to the screws and tighten them to the specified torque. Shaft and hub alignment should be verified to avoid vibration and early wear. If the shaft itself is worn, address that first.

Bushings made to the same dimensional standard can be swapped between brands, provided the taper and the length match and the tightening torque is observed. MR Industrial Accessories can cross-reference a DODGE number against other manufacturers when you are replacing a part. Always confirm taper compatibility and length before installing a substitute.
