Product Overview: The H 2336 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 2336 OH is a high-performance adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto 160mm cylindrical shafts. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves range, this model belongs to the robust H 2300 Series and the specialized OH Series. The 'OH' designation signifies its advanced design, featuring integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves. This allows for hydraulic mounting and dismounting, a method that significantly simplifies the installation and removal of large bearings by using oil pressure to create a separating film between the mating surfaces.
Supplied as a complete assembly with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, the H 2336 OH ensures a secure and precise fit. This not only simplifies the assembly process but also guarantees a reliable, concentric grip on the shaft, which is essential for extending the operational life of the bearing and associated machinery. It is an indispensable accessory for heavy-duty industrial applications where ease of maintenance and secure mounting are paramount.
Key Features of the H 2336 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Features oil ducts and grooves that enable the use of the hydraulic method, drastically reducing mounting force and time.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied with a high-strength lock nut and a secure lock washer for a full mounting solution.
- Secure Fit on Cylindrical Shafts: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be firmly positioned on plain or stepped shafts.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure high concentricity and minimize vibration during operation.
- Facilitates Easy Positioning: The sleeve can be positioned at any point along a cylindrical shaft, offering design flexibility.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads, ensuring long-term reliability.
Common Applications
- Heavy Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount large fan rotor bearings securely, simplifying maintenance procedures.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Ideal for crushers, grinders, and vibrating screens where bearings are subjected to heavy loads and frequent replacement.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for mounting bearings on the rolls of paper machines, where hydraulic methods are standard for maintenance.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Employed in propeller shaft arrangements and large gearboxes for reliable bearing mounting and service.
- Steel Rolling Mills: Facilitates the secure and efficient mounting of roll neck bearings.
- Large Conveyor Pulleys: Ensures a strong, reliable fit for pulley bearings in demanding material handling systems.
- Power Generation Equipment: Used in turbines and large generators for secure rotor bearing installation.
Benefits of Using the H 2336 OH
- Reduced Installation Time: The hydraulic method is significantly faster and safer than traditional mechanical methods for large bearings.
- Damage-Free Mounting: Eliminates the risk of scoring or damaging the bearing bore or shaft during installation and removal.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability: Provides a rigid and concentric connection, improving the running accuracy of the bearing and reducing wear.
- Simplified Maintenance: Greatly simplifies the process of dismounting bearings, even after long periods of service or in corrosive environments.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Allows the use of standard cylindrical shafts, avoiding the cost and complexity of machining tapered shaft seats.
- Improved Safety: Hydraulic mounting is a controlled process that minimizes the physical effort and risks associated with hammering or using mechanical pullers on large components.
