Product Overview: The H 2324 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2324 is a precision-engineered adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a 120 mm tapered bore onto a 110 mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, this sleeve is part of the popular H 2300 Series. It provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securing bearings onto smooth or stepped shafts. The H 2324 assembly comes complete with a corresponding lock nut (KM 24) and lock washer (MB 24), ensuring a secure fit and preventing loosening during operation. Its design facilitates easy installation and dismounting, making it an essential accessory for a wide range of industrial machinery.
Key Features of the H 2324
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a full set including the tapered sleeve, a KM 24 lock nut, and an MB 24 lock washer.
- Shaft Compatibility: Enables the use of bearings with a 120 mm tapered bore on standard 110 mm cylindrical shafts.
- Simplified Installation: The slit sleeve design allows for easy positioning and is securely tightened using the lock nut, pressing the bearing up the taper.
- Secure Fit: Provides strong frictional engagement between the bearing and the shaft, ensuring reliable power transmission and positioning.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from durable steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Facilitates Dismounting: Simplifies the process of removing bearings from shafts, reducing maintenance time and effort.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on head and tail pulley shafts, providing a secure and adjustable fit.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Essential for securing large bearings in ventilation and air-handling units.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in equipment such as combines and balers where robust bearing mounting is critical.
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for heavy-duty applications like rock crushers, screening equipment, and shaker tables.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing machinery that operate under demanding conditions.
- Large Pumps and Gearboxes: Provides a reliable method for mounting bearings in power transmission systems.
Benefits of Using the H 2324 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Allows the use of less expensive, commercially straight shafts instead of requiring precisely machined stepped shafts.
- Enhanced Versatility: Enables a single bearing size to be used on various shaft diameters by simply changing the adapter sleeve.
- Improved Reliability: Ensures concentric and secure clamping of the bearing, reducing vibration and increasing operational life.
- Reduced Maintenance: The ease of mounting and dismounting minimizes downtime and labor costs during maintenance cycles.
- Shaft Protection: Prevents direct damage to the shaft surface, as the sleeve takes the wear during installation and removal.
- Accommodates Clearance: Allows for easy adjustment of the bearing's internal clearance during the mounting process to meet application requirements.
