Product Overview: The H 30/500 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 30/500 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 500mm diameter. As a key component in our OH Series, this sleeve utilizes hydraulic pressure for effortless and precise installation and removal, making it ideal for large, heavy-duty applications. The hydraulic method ensures uniform pressure distribution, achieving a secure, concentric fit that prevents damage to the bearing and shaft during the mounting process.
This sleeve is an essential part of our comprehensive range of Adapter Sleeves, engineered to the highest industry standards for reliability and durability. The H 30/500 OH includes integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves to facilitate the hydraulic process, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime in critical machinery. It is the preferred choice for applications where traditional mechanical mounting methods are impractical or could lead to component damage.
Key Features of the H 30/500 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic-Assisted Mounting: Features oil ducts and grooves for connection to a hydraulic pump, enabling easy and controlled installation.
- Simplified Dismounting: Allows for hydraulic pressure to be used for removal, breaking the interference fit without damaging the bearing or shaft.
- Precise and Secure Fit: Guarantees a strong, concentric grip on the shaft, ensuring optimal bearing performance and alignment.
- For 500mm Shafts: Specifically designed to locate bearings with a tapered bore on 500mm cylindrical shafts.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Reduced Installation Time: Significantly cuts down on the time and labor required for mounting large bearings compared to mechanical methods.
