Product Overview: The AHX 2315 Adapter Sleeve
The AHX 2315 adapter sleeve is a precision-engineered component designed for the secure and efficient mounting of spherical roller bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. This essential mechanical part from our AHX 2300 Series, also part of our broader Adapter Sleeves and Sleeves collections, simplifies the installation process and ensures optimal bearing performance. With a nominal shaft (Bore) diameter of 75 mm, an Outer Diameter of approximately 95 mm, and a Thickness of around 65 mm, the AHX 2315 provides a reliable interface between the bearing and the shaft, accommodating various shaft tolerances without the need for intricate machining. Its robust design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, making it an indispensable part of many industrial setups.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we understand the critical role adapter sleeves play in the longevity and efficiency of rotating machinery. The AHX 2315 is manufactured to industry standards, ensuring a precise fit and reliable operation, which translates into reduced downtime and extended service life for your equipment. Pair it with complementary components such as KM 15 or MB 15 lock nuts and a suitable lock washer for a complete and secure bearing assembly.
