Bushes (also known as taper lock bushes or bushing sleeves) are mechanical adapters that facilitate secure mounting of pulleys, sprockets, and other rotating components onto shafts. They simplify installation and removal, ensuring concentric alignment and torque transmission.

Constructed from high-strength materials like steel or cast iron, bushes are engineered for resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical stress. They are vital for maintaining alignment and performance in rotating equipment.
