Dodge TA0107L Instruction Manual

Tapered and Short Shaft Bushing Assemblies
These instructions must be read thoroughly before installation or operation. This instruction manual was accurate at the time of
printing. Please see dodgeindustrial.com for updated instruction manuals.
WARNING: To ensure the drive is not unexpectedly started, turn off and
lock-out or tag power source before proceeding. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in bodily injury.
BUSHING INSTALLATION
The Dodge Torque-Arm II Reducer is designed to fit both
standard and short length driven shafts. The Standard Taper
Bushings series is designed where shaft length is not a concern.
The Short Shaft Bushing series is to be used where the driven
shaft does not extend through the reducer.
WARNING: Because of the possible danger to person(s) or property
from accidents which may result from the improper use of products,
it is important that correct procedures be followed. Products must be
used in accordance with the engineering information specified in the
catalog. Proper installation, maintenance and operation procedures
must be observed. The instructions in the instruction manuals must
be followed. Inspections should be made as necessary to assure
safe operation under prevailing conditions. Proper guards and other
suitable safety devices or procedures as may be desirable or as may
be specified in safety codes should be provided, and are neither
provided by Dodge nor are the responsibility of Dodge. This unit and
its associated equipment must be installed, adjusted and maintained
by qualified personnel who are familiar with the construction and
operation of all equipment in the system and the potential hazards
involved. When risk to persons or property may be involved, a holding
device must be an integral part of the driven equipment beyond the
speed reducer output shaft.

Standard Taper Bushings
1. One bushing assembly is required to mount the reducer
on the driven shaft. An assembly consists of two tapered
bushings, bushing screws and washers, two bushing backup
plates and retaining rings, and necessary shaft key or keys.
The driven shaft must extend through the full length of the
reducer. If the driven shaft does not extend through the
reducer do not use the standard tapered bushings; instead
use the short shaft bushings as described in the Short Shaft
Bushings section that follows. The minimum shaft length, as
measured from the end of the shaft to the outer edge of the
bushing flange (see Figure 1), is given in Table 1.
2. Install one bushing backup plate on the end of the hub and
secure with the supplied retaining ring. Repeat procedure for
other side.
3. Place one bushing, flange end first, onto the driven shaft and
position per dimension "A", as shown in Table 1. This will allow
the bolts to be threaded into the bushing for future bushing
and reducer removal.
4. Insert the output key in the shaft and bushing. For easy of
installation, rotate the driven shaft so that the shaft keyseat is
at the top position.
NOTE: In most cases the keys that are supplied with the
bushing kit are NOT square keys, and the orientation of
the key is important. Install the key so that it fits snugly in
the width of the keyseat. The keys are marked with a part
number and some keys are also etched with "THIS SIDE
UP" – these markings should be showing on the top of the
key when it is installed in the shaft keyseat, see Figure 1
below.
