Product Overview: The H 2336 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2336 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically engineered for a 160 mm shaft diameter, this sleeve is an essential component in our H 2300 Series of Adapter Sleeves. It provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securing bearings, allowing for wider shaft tolerances and simplifying both installation and removal processes. When combined with the appropriate lock nut and lock washer, the H 2336 ensures a secure and precise fit, preventing axial movement and maintaining optimal bearing performance.
As a key part of our Bearing Accessories range, the H 2336 sleeve is manufactured from durable steel to withstand heavy loads and demanding industrial environments. It is the preferred choice for applications where precise bearing location on a smooth or stepped shaft is required without complex machining.
Key Features of the H 2336 Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be easily mounted on standard cylindrical shafts.
- Precise Fit: The tapered design ensures a tight interference fit between the bearing and the shaft.
- Slotted Design: Features a longitudinal slit that allows for easy compression and a secure grip when tightened with a lock nut.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-strength steel for excellent longevity and resistance to wear and deformation.
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with various spherical roller bearings and self-aligning ball bearings that have a tapered bore.
- Includes Accessories Provision: Designed to be used as a complete assembly with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer for secure fastening.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to secure bearings on motor shafts, ensuring stable and vibration-free operation.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential for mounting bearings on conveyor pulleys and rollers.
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, tractors, and other equipment where robust bearing mounting is critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Provides reliable bearing support in crushers, screeners, and heavy-duty vehicles.
