FHP17K Split Taper Bushing

FHP17K Split Taper Bushing

The FHP17K split taper bushing is a type of bushing that is used to mount sheaves, sprockets, gears, and other components on shafts. It is a split bushing, which means that it is made up of two halves that are held together by keys. This allows the bushing to be easily installed and removed, and it also makes it easier to align the component with the shaft.The FHP17K split taper bushing is designed for use in drives with lower torque. It has a 1 3/8" inside diameter and a 1 7/16" outside diameter. The bushing is made of steel and is heat treated for strength and durability.Split taper bushings work by transferring the load from the component to the shaft. The tapered surface of the bushing fits snugly against the shaft, which creates a frictional force that holds the component in place. The keys in the bushing help to prevent the halves from coming apart under load.The FHP17K split taper bushing is a versatile and reliable component that can be used in a variety of applications. It is a good choice for applications where a low-torque, easy-to-install bushing is required.

FHP17K Split Taper Bushing Installation:

Here are the steps on how to install an FHP17K split taper bushing:1. Ensure that the shaft and the bore of the hub or pulley are clean and free from any debris or burrs.2. Slide the split taper bushing onto the shaft, aligning the tapered bore with the shaft.3. Tighten the screws or bolts on the bushing evenly using a wrench or socket. This will cause the split taper bushing to grip the shaft tightly.4. Check the manufacturer's specifications for the recommended torque values for tightening the screws or bolts. Over-tightening can damage the bushing or the shaft.5. Once the split taper bushing is securely attached to the shaft, slide the hub or pulley over the bushing until it contacts the flanges.6. Secure the hub or pulley to the split taper bushing using the provided set screws or bolts. Tighten them evenly and ensure that they are properly seated.7. Double-check the alignment and make any necessary adjustments before finalizing the installation.

FHP17K Split Taper Bushing Removal:

Here are the steps on how to remove an FHP17K split taper bushing:1. Loosen and remove the set screws or bolts that secure the hub or pulley to the split taper bushing.2. Insert a suitable tool, such as a puller or a screwdriver, into the split of the split taper bushing.3. Apply force evenly to the tool to expand the split and release the grip on the shaft.4. Once the split taper bushing is loose, slide it off the shaft carefully.5. Clean the split taper bushing and inspect it for any damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
