What Is a QD Bushing?

A QD bushing, short for quick-disconnect bushing, is a split flanged bushing that mounts a sprocket, sheave or pulley onto a shaft and comes off again in minutes. You do not pull the hub off the shaft: you remove the cap screws, thread them into the removal holes in the flange, and the bushing backs itself out of the hub.

That is why QD bushings are the practical choice wherever components are changed on a maintenance schedule, or where a drive has to come apart in the field rather than in a workshop.

How a QD Bushing Mounts

Exploded view of a chain sprocket assembly mounted with a QD bushing
Sprocket, hub and bushing: the bushings listed on this page mount this stack.
  1. Slide the bushing onto the shaft and align the keyway, then position the assembly where the drive needs it.
  2. Locate the hub on the bushing so the cap screw holes line up with the threaded holes in the flange.
  3. Tighten the cap screws to the torque listed for that type. To remove, move the same screws into the removal holes and the bushing releases the hub.

Torque values per type are in the size table above. Ask us to check your installation →

Custom QD Bushing

Send a drawing, a sample, or the shaft dimensions and we will quote a bushing that fits the application. Custom work we handle regularly:

  • Bores in inch or metric sizes
  • Keyways to your specification
  • Cast iron and steel, other materials on request
  • Bushings for hubs already in service

Not sure which type you need? Send your dimensions and our engineers will name the closest standard item, or quote a custom one.

Interchangeable with Dodge, Martin and Browning QD Hubs

CTS QD bushings are dimensionally interchangeable with the Dodge, Martin and Browning QD hubs in common use, so a CTS bushing fits an existing QD hub without modification.

Where QD Bushings Are Used

Typical drives for the components our bushings mount.

Chain sprockets

Mounting sprockets on drive shafts where the sprocket comes off again for wear replacement.

V-belt sheaves and pulleys

Bushed sheaves for belt drives, fan drives and line shaft equipment.

Conveyors and elevators

Drives that are serviced in the field, where quick removal saves downtime.

Pumps, mixers and fans

Impeller and rotor shafts on equipment with regular maintenance intervals.

Retrofits and replacements

Replacing a worn or obsolete bushing on a machine that is still in service.

Quality and Inspection

Every batch is checked for bore, keyway and taper fit before packing, and material certificates can be supplied on request. Bushings leave the factory export packed with rust protection for sea and air freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does QD stand for?

QD stands for quick disconnect. The bushing is split and keyed, so it tightens onto the shaft and releases from the hub quickly using the same cap screws.

Which QD bushing types do you supply?

The common QD range, from the small JA sizes through to the heavy S sizes. Tell us the type letter and the bore and we will confirm stock.

Are CTS QD bushings interchangeable with Dodge, Martin or Browning?

Yes. They are made to the same dimensional standard. Confirm with the part number from your old bushing and we will match it before you order.

Do you keep QD bushings in stock?

Yes. Popular types and bores are held in stock with no minimum order.

How do I get a price?

Use the contact page with your list: type, bore and quantity. We will reply with pricing and availability.
