Product Overview: The H 2328 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2328 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to facilitate the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft. Specifically engineered for a 125mm shaft diameter, it allows for the secure installation of bearings with a 140mm bore. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection and a part of the H 2300 Series, this sleeve provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for positioning bearings on smooth or stepped shafts. The assembly, which includes the H 2328 sleeve, a lock nut (KM 28), and a lock washer (MB 28), ensures a tight and secure fit, preventing slippage and maintaining precise alignment during operation.
Key Features of the H 2328 Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Enables easy installation of tapered bore bearings onto cylindrical shafts without the need for special shaft machining.
- Precise Positioning: Allows for the bearing to be located at any position along a plain shaft, offering design flexibility.
- Secure Clamping: The tapered design provides a strong, concentric grip on the shaft when tightened with the corresponding lock nut.
- Complete Assembly: Designed to be used with a KM 28 lock nut and MB 28 lock washer for a full, secure mounting solution.
- Facilitates Dismounting: Simplifies the process of removing bearings from the shaft, reducing maintenance time and effort.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to ensure strength, durability, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on head and tail pulley shafts, ensuring reliable operation.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides secure mounting for bearings in large ventilation and air-handling units.
- Agricultural Machinery: Employed in equipment like combines and balers where robust bearing arrangements are essential.
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for heavy-duty applications such as rock crushers, vibrating screens, and material handling equipment.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Ensures precise and stable bearing location in various power transmission systems.
- Paper and Pulp Machinery: Used in rollers and processing equipment that operate under heavy loads and continuous use.
Benefits of Using the H 2328 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft shoulders, keyways, or other special machining, reducing overall manufacturing costs.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure fit that improves the operational stability and lifespan of the bearing.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The straightforward installation and dismounting process minimizes machinery downtime during repairs or replacements.
- Increased Versatility: Allows for the use of standard plain shafts, simplifying inventory and design processes.
- Shaft Protection: Protects the shaft surface from damage that can occur during direct bearing mounting or removal.
- Improved Bearing Performance: Ensures proper clearance and fit, which is critical for achieving the optimal service life of spherical roller and self-aligning ball bearings.
