Dimensions in millimetres.
Keyways are British Standard Metric BS 4235: Part 1: 1972 DIN 6885 and conform to ISO recommendations with the exception of those marked* which are shallower.
Where a key is to be used it should be parallel and side tting, with top clearance. Depth of keyway is measured at the CENTRE.
Bold italic type indicates bushes made of steel or ductile iron.

Taper Lock Engineering Data

MINIMUM DIAMETERS OF TAPER BORED HUBS
The following table shows the recommended minimum diameter in mm for bespoke component hubs that are to be drilled, tapped and
taper bored for use with Taper Lock bushes. The table differentiates between grey iron and ductile materials of various minimum tensile
strength grades (in N/mm2 or MN/m2 units, which are numerically equal).
All standard Fenner Taper Lock products are tested to ensure that they are capable of safely containing the radial and circumferential hub
stresses generated by the wedging mechanism which makes Taper Lock the equivalent of a shrink-on t. For Taper Lock hub machining
details, consult your local Authorised Distributor.

AVERAGE SLIP TORQUES FOR TAPER LOCK FIXING (WITHOUT KEY)

The following table shows empirically derived average slip torque values in Nm for each basic Taper Lock bush size with a variety of
common metric bore diameters. The values assume that the assembly uses a Fenner Taper Lock bush tted, in accordance with the
instructions supplied with every bush, to a hub prepared to the Fenner specication. Slip will tend to occur at the bush/shaft interface,
at the prescribed torque, unless a key is tted. With a key, the slip tendency transfers to the bush/hub interface at a greater torque value
related to the ratio of bush outer dia. to bore dia.. Consult your local Authorised Distributor for specic values.
Formula to calculate the slip torque if a key is used:

Large OD of Bush#

x Average slip torque value
