FAQ

• Q: What is the maximum load capacity of a QD sprocket?
  A: The maximum load capacity of a QD sprocket depends on its size and the specific application in which it is being used.
• Q: How do I know which size QD bushing to use for my sprocket?
  A: The size of the QD bushing needed depends on the bore diameter of the sprocket and the size of the shaft it will be mounted on. Consult the manufacturer's specifications for the correct size.
• Q: What is the advantage of using a QD bushing instead of a set screw?
  A: QD bushings provide a more secure and reliable means of mounting the sprocket onto the shaft than set screws, which can loosen over time and cause the sprocket to slip or become misaligned.
• Q: What maintenance is required for a QD bushing?
  A: QD bushings require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection and cleaning is recommended to ensure proper operation.
• Q: Can QD bushings be reused?
  A: Yes, QD bushings can be reused as long as they are not damaged or worn.
