Martin bushings are precision-machined components that provide a secure, concentric connection between shafts and power transmission components like sheaves, sprockets, and couplings. The taper-lock or QD (Quick Detachable) design allows easy installation and removal without disturbing the position of the driven component on the shaft — a massive time saver during maintenance.

Martin has been manufacturing bushings and power transmission components in the United States since 1928. Every bushing is machined from high-strength steel or cast iron, with bore tolerances held tight enough to ensure zero wobble at operating speed. The split-taper design creates a uniform clamping force around the shaft, eliminating the stress concentrations that cause setscrew-mounted components to slip or damage shafts.

Available in 600 bore sizes (QD-HD-E-1, QD-HD-E-1-1/8, QD-HD-E-1-3/16, QD-HD-E-1-1/4, QD-HD-E-1-5/16 and 595 more) to match your shaft and component requirements.
