FAQ

First, ensure the shaft, bore of the bush, and inner bore of the pulley are clean and free of oil or debris. Insert the bush into the pulley, aligning the holes. Lightly oil the threads of the set screws and insert them. Slide the complete assembly onto the shaft, position it correctly, and then tighten the screws alternately and evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Yes, the taper lock design provides a high clamping force and excellent concentricity, which makes it very effective in resisting vibration and shock loads.
