Bush metric taper lock bushes

Bores in millimetres · Sizes 1008 upwards · Dunlop / Optibelt / PIX

Taper lock bushes fit taper lock pulleys and sprockets to the shaft. They clamp tight as the screws are done up, and release easily for maintenance, so one pulley can be fitted to many shaft sizes. We stock metric bore bushes from Dunlop / Optibelt and PIX. Search by bush size and bore, such as 1610-25mm, and use the filters to narrow it down.

Finding the right bush

Reading the code1610-25mm is a 1610 bush with a 25mm bore. The bush size (1610) must match the pulley; the bore must match your shaft.

Bush sizeThe bush size is shown in brackets in the pulley code, such as SPZ 100 X 2 Groove (1610). The last two digits are the bush length in tenths of an inch, so a 1610 is 1″ long.

Metric or imperial?Measure the shaft. Metric shafts take millimetre bores with a metric keyway. Don’t mix them: the keyway won’t fit properly.

Tip: Tighten the screws evenly and in steps to the correct torque, and recheck after the first few hours of running. Fill the unused holes with grease to keep dirt out and make removal easier.
