Browning 1069426 Type P Split Taper Sprocket Bushing

Product Description

The BROWNING 1069426 is a Type P split taper bushing designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves in power transmission systems. With a 1.125-inch bore diameter and a 3-inch outside diameter, this bushing accommodates a 1/4-inch keyway width by 1/8-inch keyway depth and is rated for a maximum torque of 192 inch-pounds. Constructed from iron, the 1069426 delivers the rigidity and wear resistance expected in industrial drive applications. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians install this component when mounting split taper sprockets or sheaves onto shafts in conveyor, fan, pump, and general power transmission assemblies.

The BROWNING 1069426 fits into the P1 bushing series and is engineered specifically for split taper sprocket and sheave installations. This type of bushing is common in both light commercial and industrial settings where easy installation and positive shaft engagement are required. The split taper design allows the bushing to be drawn into the hub bore under bolt load, creating a secure, concentric fit without requiring a press. It is suited for applications where reliable torque transfer and straightforward removal for maintenance are priorities.

Key Features

• Type P split taper design for secure, self-centering shaft engagement
• 1.125-inch bore with 1/4-inch keyway width and 1/8-inch keyway depth for positive keyed shaft connection
• 3-inch outside diameter compatible with matching split taper hub bores
• Maximum torque rating of 192 inch-pounds for light-to-moderate drive loads
• Iron construction provides rigidity and durability in industrial environments
• P1 bushing series designation for straightforward cross-reference and replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves requiring a Type P bushing with a 1.125-inch bore. Verify hub bore taper angle and thread size (5/16 x 1) match your sprocket or sheave specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system completely before removing or installing any bushing. Clean shaft and bore surfaces before assembly, and torque the bushing bolts evenly in an alternating pattern to draw the taper uniformly into the hub. Follow the sprocket or sheave manufacturer's bolt torque sequence and verify shaft runout after assembly.
