Shaft mounting components — including taper lock bushes, shaft collars, weld-on hubs, and key stock — provide the connection and location elements for securing sprockets, pulleys, and couplings to shafts in industrial drives, machinery, and mechanical equipment requiring reliable shaft-to-hub connection and precise axial positioning. Where this product is used Shaft and locking components are used in any industrial drive where sprockets, pulleys, couplings, or other rotating components must be secured to a shaft — including conveyor drives, pump sets, fan drives, and general mechanical equipment assembly and maintenance. Taper lock bushes (Mi-Lock No. 1 and No. 2, metric and imperial) for securing sprockets, pulleys, and couplings to shafts using a split-taper interference fit for reliable, concentric mounting. Shaft collars (grub screw, split clamp type, stainless steel and zinc plated, metric and imperial) for axial location of components and bearing retention in machinery and drive systems. Key stock (metric and imperial, zinc plated and 304 stainless steel) for transmitting torque between shaft and hub in sprocket, pulley, and coupling assemblies where a keyed bore connection is specified. Key specifications Specification Detail Standard Imperial Material Bronze Selecting the right option Select taper lock bushes by Mi-Lock number (No. 1 or No. 2) to match the hub on the sprocket or pulley being mounted — metric and imperial bore options are available; confirm the shaft diameter before ordering. Shaft collars should be selected by bore size and collar type: grub screw type suits light-duty location; split clamp (two-piece) suits secure clamping or frequent adjustment. Select stainless steel for corrosive or washdown environments; zinc plated for standard workshop and industrial use. Key stock must match the shaft and hub keyway dimensions exactly — confirm section size and length required.
