Bushes
Using Fenner Taper-Lock® Bushes, it is possible for unskilled labour to
achieve 'shrink fit' of Pulleys, Couplings, etc. on to shafts only using a
hexagon wrench.

The arrangement of half-threaded holes and longitudinally split tapered

bushes ensure maximum grip and fast, easy fitting. Tightening of the
screws into the threaded holes in the hub forces the bush into the taper
bored components, thereby effectively contracting the bore of the
Taper-Lock® Bush until the equivalent of a shrink fit is obtained. Taper-
Lock® 'Bushes are suitable for metric shafts and can also be supplied
with Imperial Bores and Keyways.
