The original sheave and pulley installation system developed to facilitate installation and alternative of components.
The QD (Quick Detachable) design offers both conventional (flange outboard) and reverse (flange inboard) installation configurations.
1. Be certain the tapered cone areas of the bushing and the within of the driven product 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. Usually 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 noticed cut.
5. Tighten pull-up bolts alternately and evenly to tightness indicated in torque desk on back. Do not use extensions on wrench handles. There should be a gap between your encounter of the sheave or sprocket hub and the flange of the QD bushing to insure a reasonable cone hold and press fit.
CAUTION: THIS GAP SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED.
Use a tapered or QD bushing from Ever-Power with sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and several other power transmitting applications. Flanged quick-disconnect bushings feature a completely split style to greatly help provide easy set up and disassembly. A tapered bushing with directly edges uses an interior screw to greatly help drive the bushing into the shaft, while a split taper includes a flange and a key on the bushing to help provide more drive.
QD bushings (" and metric sizes) possess a flanged style and show a 4° taper with regular or reverse installation. They are stocked in popular completed bore sizes and minimal plain bore for customized reboring.
Many people make reference to both types as a “taper lock” because they both use 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 in to the bore of the component becoming set up (sheave, sprocket, etc.). Be careful when setting up these screws. The holes with threads on the bushing are for removal just. Also remember that the looks of a flange externally of the bushing doesn’t indicate it’s a QD design. Split Taper bushing also has a flange, and the two are not interchangeable. The QD style has a split that continues through the flange. The Metal QD (Quick Disconnect) Type bushing offers versatile and easy installation while providing exceptional holding power. QD Bushings are used considered the industry offering comfort and design flexibility. They are precision machined of quality Steel and are installed by tightening several cap screws. This draws the bushing in to the taper bore of the merchandise 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 reverse positions. This enables cap screws to become installed through item hub or bushing flange whichever is usually most convenient. A substantial benefit in set up, cap screws are at all times inserted from the exterior where they are easily accessible. QD Bushings can be found from stock with all well-known bores within the number of each size bushing.
QD Bushings feature 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 required over standard bored-to-size bushings. Quick-Disconnect Bushings are crucial for mounting v-belt drives, synchronous belt drives and roller chain drives.
