Pulley Taperlock
Precision and durability are essential in mechanical power transmission. Taper lock pulleys provide consistent torque transfer and efficient motion control in industrial applications. Their secure and easy-to-install design, featuring a concentric taper lock bushing, minimises slippage and ensures reliable performance.
Taper lock systems utilise a tapered bushing that fits inside a correspondingly tapered hub on the pulley. When the bushing is tightened using set screws or bolts, it is drawn into the pulley hub, creating a tight frictional connection between the shaft and the pulley. This mechanical locking mechanism ensures high concentricity and torque transmission without the need for keyways or complicated assembly methods.
The design also allows for quick removal and repositioning, which is particularly beneficial in applications requiring frequent maintenance or reconfiguration. Additionally, the even distribution of pressure around the shaft minimises the risk of shaft damage and prolongs the life of both the pulley and connected components.
