A DODGE Split Taper bushing locks a pulley, gear, hub or similar driven part onto a shaft. The tapered, split construction clamps firmly and centers the element, while keeping installation and removal simple, with no hammering on the shaft or the mounted part. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.

The series is ordered by size, and each bushing ships with its set screws. As the screws are tightened, the split sleeve is pressed against the shaft and against the tapered bore of the mounted element, which produces the clamping force and the centering. To identify a replacement, use the code or size shown on the drawing or on the part you are removing.

Typical installations are industrial plants, workshops and production lines where pulleys, gears, sprockets, hubs or flywheels run on shafts. Conveying, mixing, ventilation, pump and process machinery are common examples, and this series shows up regularly in food, chemical and cement plant maintenance as well as in shops that replace power transmission components.

Selection depends on three things: the shaft diameter, the tapered bore of the element being mounted, and the screw torque. During installation, clean the mating surfaces, confirm the taper and bore are in good condition, and tighten the screws evenly in stages. A light film of lubricant on the threads helps reach the correct clamping force, and careful alignment keeps vibration and premature wear in check.

Bushings of this type are interchangeable between brands when size and taper match, so a matching shaft diameter alone is not enough. Check the outer diameter, the length and the screw pitch as well. If the driven element already carries a bushing, compare its dimensions before ordering a replacement. Our team can suggest equivalents and help you confirm the right one.

To request a quote, send the code or size by WhatsApp or email. If you do not have it at hand, share the shaft diameter and the tapered bore dimensions of the element to be mounted, and we will reply promptly. You can also ask about the other power transmission parts we supply.
