Taper Lock Sprockets for Motorcycle Kit with Without Key ANSI 1/4 Pitch Lightweight Roller Chain Tooth Speed Bike Freewheel Conveyor Electric Scooter Sprocket

Taper lock sprockets are mechanically connected power transmission components that utilize a tapered bushing system to securely mount to the shaft without keyways or set screws. The design offers the following benefits:

Excellent grip through tapered friction lock

Easy to install/remove without damaging the shaft

Precise concentricity for vibration-free operation

Key Benefits
Zero backlash operation (compared to conventional keyway sprockets)
Reusable design (bushings can be reused on new sprockets)
Available for standard shaft sizes (metric and imperial)
Vibration reduction (tapered interface absorbs shock)
Easy maintenance (no special tools required for disassembly)
 

Component Breakdown

Technical Specifications
