A bush assembly for receiving and coupling a transmission shaft to a transmission component, comprises a transmission component (2) having a hollow hub and an annular bush member (4, 5) having a tapered inner bore. A contractible, inner sleeve member (9) having a tapered outer surface and an inner bore adapted, in use, to receive the transmission shaft (3) is received in the tapered inner bore of the annular bush member (4, 5) with the tapered outer surface thereof contacting the tapered inner bore of the annular bush member. Engagement means (11, 13) ensure that there is no slippage between the transmission component (2) and the annular bush member (4, 5). Screws/bolts (8) allow the annular bush member to be tightened against the transmission component (2), thereby effecting contraction of the inner sleeve member (9) onto the shaft and engagement of the engagement means (11, 13) between the annular bush member (4, 5) and the transmission component (2). |
