Keyless Bushes

Keyless bushes are innovative mechanical components used for secure, backlash-free shaft connections in various industrial applications. These bushes eliminate the need for traditional keyways, set screws, and other fastening methods, providing a reliable, easy-to-install solution for power transmission systems. Operating on the principle of friction locking, keyless bushes work by expanding radially to grip the shaft and hub simultaneously, ensuring a tight and precise fit. This unique approach enhances performance by distributing loads evenly and minimising wear on components. They are famous for their ability to reduce assembly time, improve accuracy, and provide a maintenance-free alternative to conventional bushings.

Usage Information of Keyless Bushes

• Used in pumps, fans, conveyors, and machine tools
• Ideal for automotive and aerospace components
• Common in packaging, material handling, and manufacturing equipment

How Do they Work?

Keyless bushes utilise friction locking, where the bushing expands and contracts using a mechanical screw or hydraulic system, gripping both the shaft and hub securely.

What are Keyless Bushes Made of?

Typically made from high-strength steel alloys or stainless steel, keyless bushes are designed to withstand high torque loads and harsh industrial conditions.

Available Types Include

• External Locking Devices: Mount outside the hub, ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments.
• Internal Locking Devices: Fit inside the hub, providing a compact solution for limited space.
