Taper bushings (Taper Lock)

Taper bushings (Taper Lock) are power transmission components designed for axial and radial fastening of hubs, pulleys and other parts to shafts via a tapered interface. The design uses a tapered fit between the bushing and the hub, which allows secure clamping without the need for permanent modifications to the shaft.

Functionally, they create a rigid mechanical connection between the shaft and the mounted component, ensuring torque transmission and supporting precise concentricity. The clamping principle is based on a tapered seat and the mechanical tightening of the fastening elements.

This category focuses on the general characteristics of taper bushings in power transmission and does not include specifications of dimensions, materials, standards or information on various designs. The description is intended solely as a technical overview of the basic function and application in mechanical connections.
