Wx6-1/2 QD® Style Bushing, 6-1/2 in Bore, Cast iron
The Wx6-1/2 is a W series QD style bushing with a 6-1/2 in bore, machined from solid cast iron with a black oxide finish. It mounts any W-bushed component, including sheaves, sprockets, and timing pulleys, to a 6-1/2 in shaft. Every bushing is machined from solid stock, never sintered or powdered metal, which matters in a part that transmits its load through a friction fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Wx6-1/2 bushing fit?
It fits any sheave, sprocket, pulley, or coupling machined for a W series QD style bushing, and mounts that component to a 6-1/2 in shaft. The W size is standardized across manufacturers, so the component brand does not matter.
Does the Wx6-1/2 replace the Dodge W X 6-1/2 bushing?
Yes. The W series dimensions are an industry standard, and published interchange data crosses the Wx6-1/2 directly to the Dodge W X 6-1/2, as well as Martin W 6 1/2, Gates W 6.1/2, Masterdrive W6.1/2. Verify bore size before ordering.
How does a QD style bushing install?
QD style bushings are flanged and split through the flange and barrel. Slide the bushing onto the shaft, seat the component on the taper, and tighten the cap screws through the flange into the component. Torquing the screws compresses the split barrel onto the shaft. Reverse the screws into the jacking holes to remove.
Does the Wx6-1/2 ship from Houston?
Yes. Stock items ship same day from our Houston, Texas warehouse. Call (888) 203-2358 to confirm availability.
