Description
Product Overview
The Tb Woods quick disconnect bushing is engineered for mounting pulleys, sheaves, or sprockets on drive shafts with a robust torque capacity of 7,000 in-lbs. Constructed from ductile iron, this bushing offers superior strength compared to gray cast iron, along with excellent resistance to wear, galling, and corrosion. Key specifications include product dimensions of 4.5 x 4.4 x 2.1 inches, a weight of 3 pounds, and model number SK118. The split through flange and taper design ensures strong clamping on the shaft, while the keyed interface prevents shaft rotation within the bushing. A set screw over the keyway further secures the key in place, making it ideal for vertical shafts and applications with vibrating loads.
Usage
This quick disconnect bushing is designed for industrial and mechanical environments where reliable shaft mounting is critical. It is commonly used in conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, manufacturing equipment, and power transmission applications. The bushing suits professionals in maintenance, engineering, and production roles who need secure attachment of pulleys, sheaves, or sprockets to drive shafts. Its versatility makes it appropriate for both new installations and replacement parts in settings requiring high torque and vibration resistance.
