What is a Taper Lock Timing Pulley?

A taper lock timing pulley is a belt-driven device that is used to transfer power from one shaft to another in order to rotate a drive element at a specific speed. It consists of two parts: the pulley and the taper lock bushing. The pulley has a series of teeth to grip the belt, while the bushing has a tapered bore that locks into the pulley. This design allows for easy installation, maintenance, and removal of the pulley.

Taper Lock Timing Pulley Specifications



There are a few different standards that apply to taper lock timing pulleys. The most common are the European Standard (ISO) and American Standard (ANSI). The main difference between these two standards is the size of the pulleys. The European Standard pulleys are typically smaller than the American Standard pulleys.

The teeth of the taper lock timing pulley can also vary in shape. Common shapes include the trapezoidal, round, and square shapes. Additionally, there are various types of installation holes available, such as pilot bolts, tap bolts, and QD bolts. Flanges can also be added for additional stability.

In terms of material, the taper lock timing pulleys can be made from aluminium alloy, steel, or stainless steel.

How to Install, Disassemble, and Maintain Taper Lock Timing Pulleys

Installing a taper lock timing pulley is relatively straightforward. Firstly, the taper lock bushing is placed inside the pulley and secured with a set screw. Then, the pulley and bushing are placed onto the shaft and secured with a nut. The belt is then placed over the pulley and tightened with a tensioner.

In order to ensure that the taper lock timing pulley is running smoothly, regular maintenance is required. This includes cleaning the pulley and bushing, as well as checking the belt tension. Additionally, timing belts can be used in conjunction with the pulley for more precise timing.
