FAQ

What is the advantage of the external key?

The external key provides a positive drive interface, allowing the bushing to transmit higher torque without slipping, which is essential for heavy‑duty applications.

Can this bushing be used with metric shafts?

Yes, the Q1 2 1/4 series is offered in both inch and metric bore sizes, making it compatible with a wide range of shaft dimensions.

How does the double‑split barrel improve installation?

The double‑split barrel design creates two locking points that clamp the bushing firmly in place, reducing the chance of movement and ensuring consistent performance.

Is the solid flange necessary for all applications?

The solid flange is particularly beneficial when maintaining concentricity is critical, such as in high‑speed rotating equipment, but it also adds overall strength for general use.

What maintenance is required?

Regular inspection for wear and proper torque checks are recommended. The hardened steel material resists corrosion, but periodic cleaning of debris will extend service life.
