Product Overview: The H 2314 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2314 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to securely mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a 65mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our Bearing Accessories range, this sleeve is part of the versatile H 2300 Series within the broader Adapter Sleeves collection. Adapter sleeves simplify the bearing mounting process by allowing for wider shaft tolerances and eliminating the need for complex shaft machining, such as shoulders or steps. The H 2314 comes as a complete assembly with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, providing a reliable and robust solution for locating bearings axially on a shaft.
Key Features of the H 2314
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied with a lock nut (KM 14) and a lock washer (MB 14) for a secure and complete installation.
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Enables bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts with ease.
- Tapered Design: Features a tapered outer surface that provides a tight friction fit with the inner ring of the bearing when the lock nut is tightened.
- Slotted Construction: The sleeve is longitudinally slotted, allowing it to contract and grip the shaft firmly.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from durable steel to ensure strength, reliability, and a long service life under demanding operational conditions.
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with various bearing types, including self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings.
Common Applications
- Conveyor and Pulley Systems: Used to mount bearings on long shafts where precise positioning is critical.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings in high-speed rotational equipment.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for applications in equipment like combines and balers that operate in harsh environments.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Ensures reliable bearing performance in crushers, screens, and other heavy-duty machinery.
- Paper and Pulp Processing: Used in rollers and processing machinery requiring stable and secure bearing arrangements.
- Large Gearboxes and Transmissions: Simplifies the assembly and maintenance of bearing systems on shafts.
Benefits of Using the H 2314 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, 360-degree grip on the shaft, preventing slippage and ensuring stable bearing operation.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces manufacturing costs by allowing the use of commercial-grade shafts with wider tolerances and eliminating the need for special machining.
- Simplified Installation and Removal: The design allows for quick and easy mounting and dismounting of bearings, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
- Improved Bearing Lifespan: Ensures the bearing is properly seated and aligned on the shaft, which helps to maximize its operational life.
- Flexibility in Positioning: Allows the bearing to be positioned at any point along a smooth shaft, offering greater design flexibility.
- Reduced Inventory: A single sleeve size can often accommodate minor variations in shaft diameter, simplifying stock requirements.
