Browning 1069178 Type G Split Taper Bushing 1 in Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 1069178 is a Type G split taper sprocket bushing designed for secure shaft-to-sprocket and shaft-to-sheave connections in power transmission applications. Machined from iron, this bushing features a 1 inch bore with a 1/4 inch keyway width and 1/8 inch keyway depth, allowing positive rotational locking on keyed shafts. The outside diameter measures 2 inches, with a hub fit range of 1.133 to 1.172 inches OD. Rated to a maximum torque of 95 inch-pounds, it suits light-duty industrial and mechanical drive systems. Licensed HVAC and mechanical technicians, as well as industrial maintenance professionals, install these bushings during drive system assembly or component replacement.

This bushing is intended for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves across a range of industrial and commercial drive configurations. The split taper design allows the bushing to draw evenly into the sprocket or sheave hub as fasteners are tightened, creating a tight, concentric fit without requiring a press. Typical applications include conveyor drives, fan shaft assemblies, and belt or chain drive systems where shaft sizes fall within the 1 inch bore specification.

Compatibility

Designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves accepting a Type G bushing series. Consult the sprocket or sheave manufacturer specifications to confirm Type G bushing compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or industrial maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out the drive system fully before beginning any shaft or bushing work, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Clean the bushing bore, shaft, and hub bore before assembly to ensure proper seating. Do not use impact tools to drive the bushing into the hub; tighten fasteners gradually and evenly in a cross pattern to draw the bushing squarely into the taper.
