ABSTRACT:
A coupling/mounting system for securing a shaft to a sleeve or hub includes an inner insert or bushing and an outer insert or bushing. The inner bushing has a slot permitting its radial compression during insertion into the hub. One or more radially extending projections are provided about the cylindrical outer periphery of the inner bushing. The projections enter into engagement in a corresponding recess within the bore. The inner bushing has a tapered inner surface that contacts a corresponding tapered outer surface of the outer bushing. The outer bushing has a elongated slot that permits its radial compression about the shaft when the system is assembled. The outer bushing includes mechanical features which permit it to be drawn into engagement between the inner bushing and the shaft, and thereby to exert radial forces for securing the shaft to the bore.
