New Range of Stainless Steel Taper Bushes available from Cross + Morse

Cross and Morse have unveiled a new comprehensive range of Stainless Steel Taper Lock Bushes in Stainless Steel 304 material. The range consists of 1008, 1108, 1210, 1610, 1615 and 2012 sizes and they are available in any shaft diameter, both metric and imperial. Our taper bushes provide a low cost, simple, quick method of securing sprocket, pulleys and couplings to a wide range of standard metric and imperial dimensioned shafts of general commercial tolerances and finish. The taper surfaces on the bush and mating hub are driven together by high tensile screws, causing the split bush to be firmly contracted onto the shaft. The strong clamping force which can be achieved enables transmission of high torque without the problems of fretting associated with simple keyseated drives. The design ensures quick, easy installation of sprockets and pulleys onto shafts with simple positioning for alignment.
