Regal Split-Tapered Locking Bushing Heavy Duty

Description

Product Overview

Regal’s split‑tapered locking bushing is engineered for demanding industrial environments where torque capacity and alignment precision are critical. Constructed from high‑strength steel, the bushing features an external key on most sizes, delivering a positive drive that maximizes torque handling. The double‑split barrel design ensures secure, repeatable clamping, while the solid flange maintains concentricity of the bore, reducing wear and vibration. Available in a comprehensive range of inch, metric, and spline bores from 3/8″ up to 10″, the bushing adapts to diverse machinery configurations.

Usage

Designed for applications such as gearboxes, conveyor systems, and heavy‑duty hydraulic assemblies, this bushing excels where reliable torque transfer and precise alignment are required. Installers benefit from the external key for easy, tool‑free positioning, and the double‑split barrel provides consistent clamping even under fluctuating loads. Ideal for maintenance technicians, OEMs, and industrial engineers seeking a durable fastening solution that minimizes downtime.

FAQ

What materials are used in the bushing?

The bushing is forged from high‑strength carbon steel and undergoes heat treatment to achieve optimal hardness 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 compatibility with a wide range of shaft standards.

How does the external key improve performance?

The external key provides a positive drive connection, increasing torque transmission capability and reducing the risk of slippage under load.

Is the bushing suitable for high‑temperature environments?

While the steel construction offers good thermal stability, for extreme temperatures above 300°F (149°C) a specialized alloy version is recommended.

What is the recommended installation torque?

Installation torque varies by size; refer to the accompanying technical data sheet for specific torque values to ensure optimal clamping force.
