Hub parts must frequently be provided with a finished bore to receive the machine shaft. In the case of very economically priced hub parts, this remachining is frequently costlier than the component itself. With the Taper clamping bush, a very simple and economically priced shaft/hub connection which can be used without remachining is achieved.

Although the dimensions of the Taper clamping bushes are not standardized, standard dimensions have become accepted, so that replacement Taper clamping bushes are nearly always available locally. Since in Europe and North America unfortunately different fixing bolts (UNC and BSW threads) are used, these Taper clamping bushes are not interchangeable.

Thanks to standard dimensioning, Taper clamping bushes can be used in different hub parts, thus facilitating storage. Taper clamping bushes are also standard stock at many specialist dealers and so are readily available.
