Browning 1079052 Type Q Sprocket Bushing 2.125 in Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 1079052 is a Type Q split taper bushing designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves in power transmission assemblies. With a 2.125 inch bore and a keyway measuring 0.5 inches wide by 0.25 inches deep, this bushing provides a secure, keyed shaft connection that resists rotational slip under load. The outer diameter ranges from 2.766 to 2.875 inches, making it compatible with the corresponding Type Q sprocket or sheave hub bore. At 2.95 pounds, it is a solid, precision-machined component suited for industrial and mechanical drive systems. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, industrial mechanics, or experienced maintenance technicians.

The BROWNING 1079052 is intended for use in split taper sprocket and sheave assemblies found in conveyor systems, pump drives, fan drives, and similar rotating equipment. Split taper bushings allow for consistent, repeatable mounting and removal without damaging the shaft or hub. This bushing is sized for applications requiring a 2.125 inch bore and is matched to the Type Q taper specification. It is suited for both new installations and replacement service in industrial mechanical power transmission systems.

Compatibility

Designed for use with split taper sprockets and sheaves requiring a Type Q bushing with a 2.125 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or industrial mechanic. De-energize and lock out the drive system before beginning any bushing installation or removal. Verify shaft diameter, keyway dimensions, and hub taper type before mounting. Follow the bushing manufacturer torque sequence for the flange bolts to ensure even clamping across the split taper — do not fully tighten one bolt at a time.
