The original sheave and pulley mounting program developed to facilitate installation and alternative of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design offers both conventional (flange outboard) and invert (flange inboard) installation configurations.
1. Be certain the tapered cone surfaces of the bushing and the inside of the driven item are clean and free from anti-seize lubricants.
2. Slide QD bushing on shaft, flange end initial. Assemble key.
3. Position QD bushing on shaft. Tighten established screw over key “hand tight” with regular Allen wrench only. Do not use excessive force.
4. Slide huge end of sheave or sprocket taper bore into placement over cone aligning drilled bolt holes in sheave or sprocket with tapped holes in flange of bushing. Assemble pull-up bolts and lock washers.
NOTE: Install M thru S bushings in the hub to ensure that the two extra holes in the hub are located as far as possible from the bushing’s saw cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque table on back. Do not use extensions on wrench handles. There should be a gap between your face of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a reasonable cone grip and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
Use a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and many other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to greatly help provide easy installation and disassembly. A tapered bushing with straight edges uses an interior screw to help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and an integral on the bushing to help provide more drive.
QD bushings (in . and metric sizes) have a flanged style and feature a 4° taper with typical or reverse mounting. They are stocked in popular finished bore sizes and minimum plain bore for custom reboring.
Many people refer to both types as a “taper lock” because they both utilize the tapered wedging action to lock to the shaft. The taper bushing, with it’s straight sides, uses a set screw to drive the bushing into the bore of the component becoming set up (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when installing these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal just. Also be aware that the looks of a flange on the outside of the bushing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a QD design. Split Taper bushing also offers a flange, and both are not interchangeable. The QD style has a split that proceeds through the flange. The Steel QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers flexible and easy set up while providing exceptional holding power. QD Bushings are used considered the industry offering comfort and design versatility. They are precision machined of quality Metal and are set up by tightening many cap screws. This draws the bushing into the taper bore of the product which compresses the bore of the bushing. QD bushings are easily removed by using the cap screws as jack-screws. Double drilled holes are furnished in QD Bushings permitting mounting of product in the traditional or invert positions. This enables cap screws to become installed through product hub or bushing flange whichever is usually most convenient. A significant benefit in set up, cap screws are often inserted from the exterior where they are often accessible. QD Bushings can be found from share with all well-known bores within the range of each size bushing.
QD Bushings include a split tapered flange with the split central to the flange and taper. They are applied to sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys where more clamping pressure is necessary over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are essential for mounting v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.
