TB Woods Sore Grip Sheave Bushings

⚙️ Component: Sheave Bushings
🔩 Type: Sore Grip Bushing
🔧 Manufacturer: Woods (part of Regal Rexnord), known for industrial power transmission products.
🔗 Purpose: Designed to secure sheaves, pulleys, or sprockets to shafts, ensuring a tight fit to avoid slippage in power transmission systems. The “Sore Grip” design ensures a firm grip on both the shaft and the mounted component, helping to transmit torque more efficiently.
📏 Key Features:

• Tapered Design: These bushings typically feature a taper-lock mechanism that allows for easy installation and removal without damage to the shaft.
• High Torque Capacity: Provides excellent grip under high torque applications, reducing the likelihood of slippage.
• Easy Installation and Removal: The design allows for quick installation using standard tools and simple removal with less effort, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
• Corrosion Resistance: Many are coated or made from materials designed to resist corrosion in harsh environments, prolonging the life of both the bushing and the sheave.
  🏭 Applications: Commonly used in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, HVAC, and material handling where belt-driven systems require precise alignment and secure sheave attachment.
  🔋 Durability: Engineered to perform in demanding applications, withstanding heavy loads, vibrations, and varying environmental conditions.
