Product Overview: The H 2348 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 2348 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve, specifically engineered to facilitate the mounting of bearings with a 240 mm tapered bore onto a 220 mm cylindrical shaft. As a key component in our Bearing Accessories range, this sleeve is part of the specialized OH Series, which utilizes oil injection for effortless installation and removal. The hydraulic method significantly reduces the force required, preventing potential damage to the bearing and shaft, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications.
This adapter sleeve assembly includes the sleeve, a lock nut, and a lock washer, providing a complete solution for securely locating the bearing both axially and radially. The H 2348 OH is precision-manufactured to ensure a tight, reliable fit, compensating for slight variations in shaft diameter and ensuring optimal bearing performance and longevity. It is an indispensable component for heavy-duty machinery where maintenance efficiency and component integrity are paramount.
Key Features of the H 2348 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting and Dismounting: Features oil supply ducts and distribution grooves for oil injection, enabling a near-frictionless mounting and dismounting process.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a complete set with a precision-engineered lock nut and a secure lock washer for reliable axial positioning.
- Simplified Installation: Drastically reduces the time, effort, and risk of damage associated with mounting and removing large bearings.
- Secure and Accurate Fit: Ensures the bearing is firmly and concentrically positioned on the shaft, maximizing operational stability.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Manufactured from durable, high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with various bearing types that have a 1:12 tapered bore, such as spherical roller bearings and self-aligning ball bearings.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Used in heavy equipment like conveyors, crushers, and vibratory screens where large bearings are common.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers and cylinders in paper processing machinery.
- Steel Manufacturing: Applied in rolling mills, continuous casters, and other high-load equipment.
- Power Generation: Suitable for turbines, large generators, and industrial fans where reliability is critical.
- Marine Systems: Employed in propeller shaft arrangements and other large-scale marine machinery.
