MAUREY Split Taper Bushing H 17mm Carbon Steel Shaft‑Hub Locking

Description

Product Overview

The MAUREY H 17mm split taper bushing is engineered to provide a true clamp fit that mimics the performance of a shrink‑fit connection while offering the convenience of a removable assembly. Constructed from high‑grade carbon steel, the bushing delivers exceptional strength, wear resistance, and durability in demanding industrial environments. The split design runs through the flange, allowing the two halves to be positioned around the shaft and then tapered together to create a secure, interference‑type grip. This design ensures that the bushing remains firmly seated on the shaft, even under high torque and cyclic loading conditions.</n

Key specifications include a 17 mm bore diameter, a split‑through flange that facilitates easy installation, and a set screw positioned over the keyway to maintain alignment during the initial tightening phase. Once the cap screws are fully torqued, the set screw can be removed, leaving a clean, uninterrupted surface that maximizes load transfer. The bushing also supports reverse mounting, giving users flexibility in assembly orientation without compromising performance. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for a wide range of shaft‑hub locking applications, from motor couplings to gearboxes and other power transmission components.

Usage

Designed for industrial power transmission, the MAUREY split taper bushing excels in environments where reliable torque transmission and shaft stability are critical. It is commonly employed in machinery such as pumps, compressors, conveyors, and heavy‑duty equipment where shafts must be securely locked to hubs, flanges, or collars. The carbon steel material provides resistance to corrosion and abrasion, making it suitable for use in harsh conditions, including exposure to moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

Installation is straightforward: the split halves are placed around the shaft, the set screw is tightened to hold the bushing in the correct position, and the cap screws are then torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. This process reduces installation time compared to traditional press‑fit methods and eliminates the need for specialized heating equipment. The bushing’s ability to be reverse‑mounted also allows technicians to adapt to space constraints or specific design requirements without sacrificing the integrity of the connection.

Maintenance is minimal; the carbon steel construction tolerates regular inspection and cleaning, and the set screw can be re‑engaged if the bushing needs to be repositioned during service. Whether used in new equipment builds or as a retrofit solution for existing machinery, the MAUREY H 17mm split taper bushing provides a dependable, long‑lasting connection that helps maintain system efficiency and reduce downtime.

FAQ

What is the purpose of the set screw on the bushing?

The set screw holds the bushing in the correct position on the shaft while the cap screws are being tightened. It ensures proper alignment and prevents rotation during installation, after which the set screw can be removed for a clean fit.

Can the bushing be installed in reverse orientation?

Yes, the design allows for reverse mounting, giving you flexibility to install the bushing in either direction without affecting its performance or load‑carrying capacity.

What torque specifications should be used for the cap screws?

Torque values depend on the specific application and shaft size. Refer to the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines or consult MAUREY technical support for recommended torque settings to achieve optimal clamping force.

Is the bushing suitable for high‑speed applications?

The carbon steel material and precise taper geometry make the bushing suitable for many high‑speed scenarios, provided that proper lubrication and alignment are maintained. For extremely high‑speed or specialized applications, verify compatibility with your system requirements.

How does the split taper design compare to a traditional press‑fit bushing?

The split taper offers a comparable interference fit without the need for heating or pressing equipment. It provides easier installation, the ability to reverse mount, and the added benefit of a set screw for alignment, resulting in reduced installation time and lower labor costs.
