Product Overview: The H 205 Adapter Sleeve
The H 205 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a 20mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection and a part of the popular H 200 Series, this sleeve simplifies the bearing mounting process, ensuring a secure and precise fit. Adapter sleeves allow for the use of commercially available shafts, which can be less expensive than precision-ground shafts, while still achieving excellent operational performance. The H 205 is supplied complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, providing a full solution for reliable bearing installation.
Key Features of the H 205 Adapter Sleeve
- Easy Mounting: Facilitates the installation of tapered bore bearings onto cylindrical shafts without the need for a shaft shoulder or special machining.
- Secure Fit: When tightened with the supplied lock nut, the sleeve provides a strong interference fit, firmly securing the bearing in its designated position.
- Compensates for Tolerances: Allows for the use of standard commercial shafts with wider diameter tolerances, reducing overall assembly costs.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with the appropriate lock nut (KM 05) and lock washer (MB 05) for a secure and complete installation.
- Slit Design: The sleeve is longitudinally slit, allowing it to contract and grip the shaft tightly when the bearing is pushed up the taper.
- Precision Engineered: Manufactured to strict standards to ensure concentricity and reliable performance of the bearing assembly.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount bearings in large fan assemblies, ensuring stable and vibration-free operation.
- Conveyor Belt Pulleys: Provides a reliable method for securing bearings on the long shafts used in conveyor systems.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as combines and balers, where robust and easy-to-maintain bearing arrangements are essential.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Enables secure bearing mounting in various industrial pump and gearbox applications.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Suitable for heavy-duty machinery where components are subjected to high loads and harsh environments.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures precise alignment and stability of rollers and drums.
Benefits of Using the H 205 Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive, high-precision shafts, lowering the overall cost of machinery.
- Simplified Installation and Dismounting: Bearings can be easily mounted, adjusted, or removed from any position on the shaft.
- Enhanced Bearing Life: Provides a true concentric fit, which improves running accuracy and extends the service life of the bearing.
- Increased Reliability: The secure locking mechanism prevents axial movement of the bearing on the shaft, enhancing operational safety and reliability.
- Versatility: Can be used with various bearing types, including self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings, in a wide range of applications.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The ease of mounting and dismounting bearings using an adapter sleeve significantly reduces downtime during maintenance or replacement.
