The SKF PHF TBU taper bushing is a keyedless fastening component that mounts pulleys, gears, couplings and similar parts onto cylindrical shafts. Its tapered outer surface creates a tight, centered grip when the bushing is drawn against the mounted element, transferring torque through friction. For maintenance and purchasing teams building or repairing power transmissions, it offers a practical, removable connection. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this bushing as part of its transmission component line.

Reading the PHF TBU code helps you identify the right size. The digits after the series letters give the nominal shaft diameter and the bushing length, while the number following the X indicates the outside diameter in inches. For instance, PHF TBU2517X1.875 is a size 2517 bushing with a 1.875-inch bore. Confirming these values is essential when ordering a replacement.

These bushings appear in food processing, metallurgy, mining and agriculture, among other sectors. They are common on conveyor belts, mills, mixers, pumps and fans where pulleys or gears must be mounted quickly and securely. Because they transmit torque without play, they suit equipment that needs repeated, removable mounting, simplifying maintenance and component replacement without damaging the shaft.

Selection depends on the shaft diameter, the outside diameter required by the pulley or gear, and the torque to be transmitted. During mounting, insert the bushing into the element and tighten the fastening screws, which generate the pressure for the tapered fit. Clean the surfaces, verify alignment and apply the recommended tightening torque. Lubricating the screws and using lock washers support reliable mounting.

For equivalents, SKF PHF TBU taper bushings can interchange with other taper bushing systems from recognized brands when shaft dimensions, outside diameter and length match. Tolerances and the fastening method must also be checked, since not all bushings are compatible. Compare measurements and mounting type, and consult our technical team with any questions.
