What is a BS Sprocket Taper Bush?

BS Sprocket Taper Bush is a type of sprocket designed to fit onto a shaft using a taper bush for a secure, keyless connection. When the bush is inserted into the sprocket’s tapered bore and screws are tightened, the bush is compressed and clamps down tightly on the shaft. This creates a secure, keyless connection that effectively transmits power.

Key Features and Benefits of BS Sprocket Taper Bushes

  • Easy Installation and Removal: The design allows for quick mounting and dismounting using basic tools, reducing maintenance downtime.
  • Versatility: One sprocket can be used with various shaft diameters by simply changing the taper bush, offering flexibility and reducing the need to stock multiple sprockets.
  • Superior Holding Power: The tapered design provides a tight, uniform grip on the shaft, which is more secure than a traditional fixed-bore sprocket with a keyway.
  • Wide Application: These sprockets are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications, including agricultural equipment, conveyors, and other power transmission systems.
