Dodge 117180 Taper Lock Bushing

Dodge 117180 Taper Lock Bushing has a 3-1/4 in bore, a 4-1/4 in barrel, and a 2 in length. This taper-lock mounting component is designed to secure a hub or pulley to a shaft in power-transmission assemblies, delivering a robust, removable connection for drives that rely on belts or chains. The bore size defines the shaft it fits, the barrel engages the hub bore, and the overall 2 in length supports compact drive arrangements. When assembled as part of a taper-lock system, tightening the screws distributes clamping force to lock the bushing in place, enabling precise alignment and reliable torque transfer between components. The 117180 designation identifies this specific bushing configuration within Dodge’s taper-lock lineup. Typical applications include mounting pulleys or sprockets on shafts in conveyors, fans, and other machinery where easy installation, removal, and shaft protection are valued. This bushing serves as a precise interface piece in power transmission setups, helping maintain concentricity and serviceability in rotating assemblies.
