Regal Split-Tapered Locking Bushing H-5/8 Duty

Description

Product Overview

Regal’s split‑tapered locking bushing (model H-5/8) is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Constructed from hardened steel, it features an external key on most sizes to deliver positive drive and superior torque capacity. The double‑split barrel ensures firm clamping, while the solid flange keeps the bore perfectly concentric. Available in inch, metric, and spline configurations, the bore range spans from 3/8″ to 10″, accommodating a broad spectrum of machinery.

Usage

Designed for heavy‑duty applications, this bushing excels in gearboxes, conveyor systems, and hydraulic assemblies where precise alignment and high torque are critical. Installers appreciate the external key for easy, secure mounting, and the double‑split design simplifies adjustments during maintenance.

Why Choose Us

Regal combines decades of engineering expertise with rigorous quality control. Each bushing undergoes heat treatment and dimensional verification to meet exacting standards.

FAQ

What materials are used in the bushing?

The bushing is made from hardened alloy steel, heat‑treated for optimal strength and wear resistance.

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

Yes, the product line includes both inch and metric bore sizes, allowing flexible integration with various shaft standards.

How does the external key improve performance?

The external key engages directly with the mating component, delivering positive drive and increasing the torque the bushing can safely transmit.

Is the bushing suitable for high‑speed applications?

While designed for high torque, the bushing performs well at moderate speeds typical of industrial gear and conveyor systems. For very high‑speed use, consult the technical specifications.

What is the recommended installation torque?

Installation torque varies by size; refer to the accompanying torque chart for precise values to ensure optimal clamping without over‑stress.
