Taper Bushings for Textile Machinery Drive Systems
Textile machinery can use compact pulley and sprocket drives where alignment and repeatable maintenance matter. The planning document identifies textile machinery as a target application; the actual bushing family still follows the installed hub geometry and shaft/keyway.
Where the bushing enters the drive
Recommended series to review
| Application / duty | EP series to review | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Compact Taper Lock | EP-1008 through EP-2517 | Review when the shaft and hub dimensions match. |
| Split Taper | EP-G through EP-Q families | Confirm the matching steel hub and Type 1/Type 2 geometry. |
| QD | EP-SF-STL through EP-F-STL | Use where the mating component is designed for the corresponding QD size. |
Key selection criteria
| Selection variable | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Alignment | Preserve pulley/sprocket position and recheck the drive after service. |
| Shaft/keyway | Measure the actual dimensions. |
| Hub family | Do not select by shaft size alone. |
| Service access | Confirm room for tightening/removal. |
| Duty | Provide speed, power/torque and cycle details for new design selection. |
Model suggestions are starting points for an enquiry, not a substitute for checking shaft diameter, keyway, mating hub geometry and the drive requirement.
