Martin QD Bushing 1 1/8″ SDS NIB

The Martin 1 1/8″ SDS QD Bushing (New in Box) is a quick-detachable (QD) bushing commonly used to mount pulleys, sheaves, and sprockets to shafts in industrial and mechanical applications. SDS (Split Driven Shaft) bushings are a specific type of QD bushing designed for secure and efficient installation and removal.

Key Features:

1. Shaft Size:

   • Accommodates a 1 1/8-inch diameter shaft.

2. Design:

   • QD (Quick Detachable) Mechanism: Allows for easy installation and removal without the need for special tools.
   • Split Taper Design: Ensures a tight and secure fit on the shaft to prevent slippage.

3. Material:

   • Typically made of durable steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments.

4. Mounting Style:

   • Compatible with taper-lock grooves on compatible hubs or components.
   • Includes mounting bolts and possibly a key for aligning the shaft with the hub.

5. Finish:

   • Precision-machined surfaces for excellent fit and minimal shaft wear.

Applications:

• Power Transmission Systems:
  • Used with pulleys, sprockets, or couplings in conveyor systems, HVAC systems, and agricultural machinery.
• Industrial Equipment:
  • Found in motor-driven applications where torque transfer is critical.
• Maintenance and Repairs:
  • Ideal for replacing worn-out or damaged bushings in existing setups.

Benefits:

• Ease of Use:
  • Simplifies installation and replacement, reducing downtime.
• Reliability:
  • Provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection between the shaft and the mounted component.
• Versatility:
  • Can be used with various hub types and shaft sizes, provided they meet the SDS standard.

Installation Notes:

1. Align the bushing with the hub’s taper-lock groove.
2. Insert the bolts through the bushing and hub, tightening gradually and evenly.
3. Verify that the shaft key (if required) is securely in place.
4. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specified settings.
