Regal Split-Tapered Locking Bushing H 1 7/16 with External Key

Description

Product Overview

The Regal Split‑Tapered Locking Bushing H 1 7/16 is engineered for high‑performance torque transfer in a variety of industrial environments. Constructed from hardened steel, the bushing features a precision‑machined external key that engages directly with mating shafts, delivering superior torque capacity and reducing the risk of slippage under heavy loads. The double‑split barrel design creates a positive clamping action, ensuring the bushing remains securely seated even when subjected to vibration or shock. With dimensions of 6 x 6 x 2 inches and a lightweight profile of just over 6 ounces, the component is easy to handle while still providing robust strength. Available in inch, metric, and spline bore configurations, the product covers a bore range from 3/8″ to 10″, offering flexibility for a wide array of applications. The solid flange maintains concentric bore alignment, guaranteeing consistent performance throughout the lifespan of the equipment.

Usage

This locking bushing is ideally suited for use in heavy‑duty machinery, conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and any application where reliable torque transmission is critical. The external key allows for quick, positive drive installation, making it a favorite among maintenance technicians who need to minimize downtime. Its robust construction tolerates the high‑stress conditions found in gearboxes, pump assemblies, and hydraulic systems. The bushing’s ability to accommodate both inch and metric bores simplifies inventory management for distributors serving global markets. Whether retrofitting older equipment or integrating into new designs, the Regal bushing provides a dependable solution that meets or exceeds industry standards for durability and performance.

FAQ

What materials are used in the Regal Split‑Tapered Bushing?

The bushing is fabricated from hardened alloy steel that meets ASTM standards for strength and wear resistance. This material choice provides excellent durability in high‑stress applications.

Can the bushing be used with both inch and metric shafts?

Yes, the product is offered in both inch and metric bore configurations, allowing seamless integration with a variety of shaft standards without the need for additional adapters.

How does the external key improve torque transmission?

The external key engages directly with the mating shaft, creating a larger contact area that distributes load more evenly. This design reduces the likelihood of slippage and increases the overall torque capacity of the assembly.

Is the bushing suitable for high‑vibration environments?

Absolutely. The double‑split barrel and solid flange construction provide a secure fit that resists loosening caused by vibration, making it ideal for machinery that operates under dynamic conditions.
