Tapered Bush Sprockets

Nitro Chains Tapered Bush Sprockets deliver superior power transmission and longevity for demanding industrial applications. Designed for seamless integration with various shaft sizes, our tapered bush sprockets ensure easy installation and secure operation.

Advantages of Nitro® Tapered Bush Sprockets

1. Easy Installation & Removal: The tapered bushing system allows for quick installation and removal. The sprocket is secured to the shaft using a tapered bushing that can be easily mounted or dismounted with basic tools, reducing downtime during maintenance.
2. Adjustable Fit: Tapered bush sprockets can accommodate different shaft sizes without the need for re-machining. The bushings are interchangeable, allowing the same sprocket to be used with multiple shaft diameters. This offers greater flexibility and reduces the need to stock multiple finished bore sprockets.
3. Superior Holding Power: The tapered design increases the contact area between the bushing and the shaft, creating a tighter and more secure fit than traditional finished bore sprockets. This is achieved through the bushings having a split design, which clamps down on the shaft as the hex screws are tightened down. This reduces slippage and ensures efficient power transmission.
4. Reduced Wear: The even distribution of pressure around the shaft minimizes the risk of wear and tear, extending the sprocket's lifespan and lowering the overall maintenance costs.
5. Enhanced Versatility: Unlike finished bore sprockets, which are machined to a fixed bore size, tapered bush sprockets offer flexibility in use across various applications, allowing for easy switching between different shaft sizes without compromising performance.
