Keyless Bushings: A Reliable Connection Solution for Shaft-to-Hub Connections
Introduction
Keyless bushings are ideal locking devices for connecting shafts and hubs. They provide a high-capacity, zero-backlash connection for mounted components to shafts. EPT keyless bushings are best suited for applications where speed and simplicity of installation and repositioning are critical. These bushings provide a frictional connection that will never wear or pound out and can accommodate high-torque, thrust, bending, and/or radial loads. They also provide exceptional concentricity while maintaining the ability to accommodate bending loads. EPT keyless bushings use a single hex nut for speed and simplicity of installation.
Benefits of Keyless Bushings
EPT keyless bushings offer numerous benefits, including:
- Ability to transmit higher torques than keyed connections
- True zero-backlash
- Less equipment downtime
- Ability to mount over existing keyways
- Complete axial and radial adjustability
- Locks and unlocks with the twist of a single nut
