282488 - Miller 1610 Series Split Taper Bushing 7/8 Inch Bore with Keyway

Reliable Shaft Mounting with Miller 282488

The Miller 282488 is a high-quality Split Taper Bushing belonging to the industry-standard 1610 Series. Designed specifically for industrial applications, this bushing features a 0.875-inch (7/8 inch) internal diameter (ID) and is equipped with a 0.250-inch keyway. As a genuine Miller Electric replacement part, it is engineered to meet the exact specifications required for maintaining the performance and longevity of your welding equipment and associated machinery.

Precision Engineering

Split taper bushings are essential components in mechanical power transmission. The 1610 series design utilizes a double-split barrel which allows the bushing to compress uniformly around the shaft when tightened. This action creates a clamp-like grip that is significantly more secure than simple set-screw collars. The inclusion of the 0.250-inch keyway ensures positive torque transmission, preventing the bushing from spinning on the shaft even under heavy loads or start-up torque spikes. This precision fit reduces vibration and wear on both the shaft and the mounted component, such as a pulley or sprocket.

Genuine OEM Quality

When repairing complex industrial equipment like welding power sources or wire feeders, using genuine OEM parts is crucial. The Miller 282488 ensures that dimensional tolerances are strictly adhered to, guaranteeing a hassle-free installation. Generic bushings may suffer from slight variances in bore size or taper angle, leading to runout or wobble that can damage bearings and seals over time. By choosing this authentic Miller part, you ensure the structural integrity of your machine's drive system remains compromised.

Application Versatility

While specifically listed as a Miller replacement part, the 1610 series profile is a widely recognized standard. This bushing is typically used to mount sheaves, sprockets, and pulleys onto motor shafts or driven shafts within the machine. Its robust steel construction ensures it can handle the thermal and mechanical stresses common in industrial welding environments. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or an emergency repair, the Miller 282488 provides the reliability professional technicians demand.
