Strong Shaft Connections Without the Hassle

Taper lock bushes and hubs are the go-to solution when shafts need secure, repeatable mounting without custom machining. Using a tapered, split-cone design, they clamp tightly to the shaft as bolts are tightened, creating a high-strength interference fit that stands up to torque, vibration, and shock loads. For fitters and maintenance crews, this means faster installs, easier swaps, and less downtime compared to traditional keyed connections. Whether it’s a pulley on a conveyor, a sprocket in a crusher, or a coupling in a pump drive, taper lock hardware gets the job done with precision and reliability. Options range from compact bushes for light-duty drives through to heavy-hub assemblies for industrial plant equipment. Trusted products include the SKF Taper Hub for high-accuracy mounting and the Finer Power Transmission bush series for workshop use. Industrial Shed delivers taper lock bushes & hubs crews can depend on, backed by trade pricing, bulk supply, same-day dispatch, and the Industrial Shed Trade Guarantee.
