Brewer 1610-B Tapered Idler Bushing

Brewer 1610-B tapered idler bushing is a cast-iron, precision-driven component designed for Brewer universal drive tensioners. It accepts a 5/8 in (0.625 in) shaft, with a 2.25 in outer diameter and a 1.0 in overall length, enabling a compact yet stable interface for idler pulleys in belt-drive and conveyor systems. As part of Brewer’s 1610-series, this bushing is intended for rims that accommodate tapered-bushing assemblies, delivering reliable alignment and smooth operation under load in industrial drive applications. Typical installations include tensioner-equipped belt drives and small-to-mid-size conveyors where a durable tapered-idler interface helps maintain belt tension and minimize lateral movement. The 1610-B features a cast-iron body that balances rigidity and wear resistance, providing dependable performance within Brewer’s lineup of tapered bushings.
