B&B 1610-IDL-BUSH Steel Idler Bushing 1610-IDL-BUSH

This steel idler bushing from B & B Manufacturing is a precision-engineered component designed to keep sprocket hubs narrow, reducing the significance of the length-thru-bore dimension. Its left-justified hub allows for shaft mounting close to bearings, minimizing the center of the load dimension and preventing issues with highly overhung loads. Taperlock bushings provide a true clamp fit on the shaft, equivalent to a shrink fit, making them ideal for applications where precision and reliability are crucial, such as in heavy-duty industrial equipment, construction machinery, and material handling systems.

Top product features:

• Taperlock bushings keep sprocket hubs narrow so the length-thru-bore dimension is less significant.
• The left-justified hub allows shaft mounting close to bearings keeping the center of the load dimension small while preventing issues with highly overhung loads.
• Taperlock bushings are split through the flange and gradual taper to provide a true clamp fit on the shaft that is the equivalent of a shrink fit.

Top product applications:

• Shaft mounting close to bearings
• Highly overhung loads
• Reducing the length-thru-bore dimension
