Taperbushes

A key or taper lock link is the most frequent shaft-boss joint.

Another frequent shaft-boss joint is the cylindrical taper bush.


The working principle is by means of conical rings that are telescoped and fastened with pins.

The advantage of this option is that neither shaft nor boss needs any machining.

The type of taper bush depends on the measurements and the moment to be transmitted.
