Proudly Providing QD Bushings You Can Rely on in the Laredo, Austin, Victoria & San Antonio, TX Area

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications, QD Bushings offer a host of features that ensure both performance and ease of use. At Bohls Equipment, our QD Bushings are renowned for their tapered, precision fit, which guarantees a snug and secure connection between the sheave and the bushing. This precision machining allows for an even compression along the bushing’s full length, providing a grip on the shaft that rivals that of a press fit. This full split design ensures a perfect fit, even on shafts that are slightly oversized or undersized.

Bohls Equipment proudly offers QD Bushings from trusted brands such as Maska and Leeson to clients in San Antonio, Austin, Laredo, Victoria, TX, and the surrounding areas of Central and South Texas. These bushings are a reliable choice, providing the precision and durability needed in industrial operations.

Overview

Quick Disconnect Tapered Bushing

Features

Tapered, Precision Fit

Precision machining of the tapered bore in the hub of the “QD” rim and the tapered mating surface of the bushing ensures a snug, precision fit between rim and bushing. Tightening the cap screws draws the sheave up tight on the bushing.

Full - Not Partial Split

This feature, together with the tapered, precision fit of rim and bushing, enables the “QD” Bushing to compress evenly through the overall bushing length, thus gripping the shaft with tremendous pressure, the equivalent of a press fit on the shaft. And the full split makes it just as easy to install “QD” Bushings on all standard size shafts as it is to install them on shafts, which may be slightly oversized or slightly undersized.

Easy to Install, Easy to Remove

To install “QD” Bushings, the cap screws are used as pull-wrench only – no additional leverage is necessary. To remove “QD” Sheaves, the cap screws are taken out and used as jack screws. A few quick turns on each screw, and the tight grip of the bushing on the shaft is easily broken.

Set Screw Over the Key

Once the correct position of the “QD” Bushing on the shaft is determined, tightening the set screw in the bushing flange down on the key will hold the bushing in this position while the pull-up bolts are tightened. This set screw holds the key in place on the shaft during drive operation - an especially desirable feature on drives that have vertical shafts facing down. Available on all “QD” bushings except W and S.

Fully Interchangeable With Other “QD” Bushings

“QD” Bushings conform to standardized “QD” dimensions and sheave types. Because of this feature, any “QD” Stock Bushing may be interchanged with the same size bushing that other “QD” manufacturers produce.
