Browning 1069517 Type P Split Taper Bushing 1.625 in Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 1069517 is a Type P split taper bushing designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves in mechanical power transmission systems. Machined from iron, this P1 series bushing features a 1.625-inch bore with a 3/8-inch keyway width and 3/16-inch keyway depth, allowing secure shaft engagement with a keyed connection. The 3-inch outside diameter and 5/16 x 1 thread size are standard for the Type P form factor. With a maximum torque rating of 192 inch-pounds, it handles moderate load applications in industrial and commercial drive systems. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors working on belt and chain drive assemblies.

This bushing is used wherever split taper sprockets or sheaves require a removable, self-centering bore connection. Common applications include fan drives, conveyor systems, pump drives, and blower assemblies in commercial HVAC and light industrial settings. The split taper design allows the bushing to be installed and removed without damaging the shaft or hub, making it well suited for systems that require periodic maintenance or component swaps. The P1 series designation identifies the specific dimensional standard within the split taper bushing family.

Compatibility

Designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves that accept a Type P bushing bore. Consult the sprocket or sheave manufacturer specifications to confirm Type P bushing compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Disengage and lock out all drive power before beginning work, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Clean the shaft, bore, and mating taper surfaces before assembly, and use the provided threaded holes to draw the bushing evenly into the hub. Do not force the bushing by striking it directly, as this can damage the taper seat or split.
