QD (Quick Disconnect) bushing is a type of bushing used for mounting components onto a shaft. Here are some key details about QD Bushings:

Function: QD bushings provide a secure and easy-to-install connection between a component, such as a pulley or sprocket, and a shaft. They facilitate the transfer of torque from the shaft to the component.

Design: QD bushings feature a flanged design with an external taper. The flange provides a surface for the component to mount against, while the taper matches the internal taper of the component's bore.

Quick Disconnect Feature: QD bushings are designed for quick and simple installation and removal. They typically have one or more screws that, when tightened, create a tight fit between the bushing and the shaft. Loosening these screws allows for easy removal of the bushing from the shaft.

Construction and Material: QD bushings are commonly made from steel or other suitable alloys to provide strength and durability. The material choice depends on factors such as load capacity, operating conditions, and environmental considerations.

Installation: To install a QD bushing, it is placed onto the shaft and positioned at the desired location. The screws on the flange are then tightened, which causes the bushing to expand and grip the shaft tightly. This creates a secure and rigid connection between the shaft and the component.

Applications: QD bushings are widely used in various industrial applications where components need to be mounted securely onto shafts. They are commonly found in power transmission systems, conveyor systems, machinery, and equipment that require precise torque transfer.

Maintenance: Regular inspection for wear, damage, or any signs of loosening is important to maintain the integrity of the connection. Proper tightening of the screws is crucial to ensure a secure fit
