Product Overview: H 2320 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2320 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a 90mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our H 2300 Series of Adapter Sleeves, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for securing bearings. This sleeve assembly, which includes a corresponding KM 20 lock nut and MB 20 lock washer, ensures that the bearing is firmly positioned on the shaft, facilitating easy mounting and dismounting without the need for special shaft machining.
Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings on a shaft, as they can be used on both plain and stepped shafts. The H 2320 is manufactured to precise standards to ensure a secure and concentric fit, which is essential for maximizing bearing life and machine performance. It is a fundamental part of many industrial power transmission systems, offering versatility and dependability.
Key Features of the H 2320 Adapter Sleeve
- Easy Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted quickly and securely on cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fit: The tapered design, combined with the lock nut, provides a strong and reliable interference fit.
- Slotted Design: The sleeve is longitudinally slotted to accommodate the shaft and provide a tight grip when the lock nut is tightened.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with a high-quality lock nut and lock washer for a complete mounting solution.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for precise shaft shoulders, special machining, or internal clearances, reducing overall assembly costs.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational stresses.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount large bearings on fan shafts, ensuring stability and smooth operation.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides a secure mounting method for pulley and roller bearings in material handling equipment.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for applications in harvesters, combines, and other equipment where robust bearing mounting is required.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Commonly found in paper machine rolls and processing equipment.
- Mining and Construction: Essential for mounting bearings in crushers, screens, and other heavy-duty machinery.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Ensures precise and secure location of bearings in various industrial transmission systems.
Benefits of Using the H 2320
- Simplified Installation and Removal: The sleeve design greatly simplifies the process of mounting and dismounting bearings, reducing maintenance time.
- Versatility: Can be used on plain shafts, allowing bearings to be located at any position.
- Enhanced Bearing Life: Provides a true concentric grip, which helps to maximize the service life of the bearing by ensuring proper alignment and support.
- Shaft Protection: Protects the shaft surface from damage that can occur during direct bearing mounting or removal.
- Reduced Costs: Allows for the use of commercial-grade shafts with wider tolerances, lowering manufacturing and inventory expenses.
- Improved Reliability: The locking mechanism ensures the bearing remains securely in its operational position, preventing axial movement and enhancing machine reliability.
