Product Overview: The H 2338 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2338 is a high-quality adapter sleeve from our H 2300 Series, designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. With a bore diameter of 170mm, this sleeve provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for positioning bearings securely without the need for complex shaft machining. It is an essential component in our wider range of Adapter Sleeves, widely used across various industrial applications to ensure a tight and concentric fit between the shaft and the bearing.
Adapter sleeves like the H 2338 are supplied as a complete set, including a lock nut and a lock washer, which are used to press the bearing up the tapered seat of the sleeve and secure it in its final position. This system not only simplifies installation and dismounting but also enhances the overall reliability of the machinery.

Features of the H 2338 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer for a full installation package.
- Simplified Installation: Enables easy mounting of tapered bore bearings on plain or stepped shafts.
- Precision Fit: Ensures a secure and concentric grip on the shaft, reducing vibration and improving bearing performance.
- Versatile Positioning: Allows the bearing to be located at any position along a cylindrical shaft.
- Slit Sleeve Design: The sleeve is longitudinally slit, allowing for easy contraction and a firm grip when the lock nut is tightened.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational stresses.
Applications of H 2338 Adapter Sleeves
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount large fan bearings onto drive shafts, ensuring stability and long service life.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential for securing bearings on conveyor rollers and pulley shafts in material handling equipment.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in heavy-duty equipment like combines and balers for mounting bearings on transmission shafts.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Provides robust bearing mounting solutions for crushers, screens, and other processing machinery.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in roller and drum assemblies where reliable bearing performance is critical.
- Power Transmission Systems: Facilitates the mounting of bearings in large gearboxes and industrial drives.
Benefits of Using the H 2338 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft machining such as shoulders, threads, or keyways, reducing manufacturing costs.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: Simplifies the process of both mounting and dismounting bearings, minimizing downtime for repairs and inspections.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure fit, preventing fretting corrosion between the shaft and the bearing bore.
- Improved Bearing Life: A proper fit ensures correct load distribution within the bearing, such as the 22338, maximizing its operational lifespan.
- Increased Design Flexibility: Offers engineers more freedom in designing shaft arrangements, as bearings can be easily positioned.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Can be used on commercial-grade shafting, accommodating wider shaft diameter tolerances than interference fits.
