TapperGrip Bushings

The Taper-Grip™ system is based on the well-known clamping capabilities of clamping bushings with one notable difference. The Taper-Grip™ bushing has a series of small tapered surfaces in the form of a continuous helix. The diagrams below illustrate the principle and show how an optimum friction angle can be selected within a minimum radial gap. As a result, the maximum bores are retained and the length of the bushing can be chosen to ensure a perfect fit of the gearbox.
