Sure-Grip®* Bushings
›
Sure-Grip® bushings conform to the specifications set forth
by the Mechanical Power Transmission Association (MPTA) in
their CO-1 Guideline of October 1992.
›
An “MPB” or “Minimum Plain Bore” bushing is available in
most bushing sizes. These bushings are unsplit and have no
keyway. These bushings are intended for reboring and
other alterations.
›
Sure-Grip® bushings for inch shafts conform to ANSI
B17.1-1967, R1989 for key size versus shaft diameter and
keyway dimensions. Square keys are used where possible.
For larger bores where a square key is not possible, the
required rectangular key is furnished with the bushing.
›
Sure-Grip® bushings for metric shafts conform to British
Standard HS 4235: Part 1:1972 for key size versus shaft
diameter and keyway dimensions. For larger bores where it is
not possible to maintain the standard keyway depth, a more
shallow keyway may be used. Special metric keys are not
furnished with the bushing.

Pulleys, etc.
Materials
›
The standard material is class 30 or higher cast iron. Products
made from cast iron have a maximum speed limitation of
6,500
foot per minute at the outside diameter. Higher speed
requirements dictate the use of higher strength materials.
›
For speeds up to 16,000 foot per minute or high shock
application requiring greater toughness, special ductile iron
products can be made.
Balance
›
The standard balance is a one-plane tolerance to a G26
quality grade based on 3,500 rpm or the maximum rated
speed. A two-plane balance to a G6.3 quality grade is available
at an added cost. Sure-Grip® bushed products, which are
one-plane balanced, are marked so the bushing can be
reinstalled at the application the same way it was installed for
balancing. See MPTA SPB-95 for standard balancing practices.
