Product Overview: The H 3036 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3036 is a high-precision adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto 170mm cylindrical shafts. As a key component in our H 3000 Series, this sleeve simplifies installation, provides a secure fit, and allows for easy dismounting. Adapter Sleeves are the most common components for locating bearings on a shaft, as they can be used on smooth or stepped shafts. They are supplied complete with a lock nut and a lock washer, ensuring a reliable and firm hold.
Key Features of the H 3036 Adapter Sleeve
- Precise Fit: Designed for a 170mm shaft diameter, ensuring a secure and concentric fit for compatible tapered bore bearings.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with a corresponding lock nut (KM 36) and lock washer (MB 36) to securely clamp the bearing in place.
- Slit Design: Features a longitudinal slit and a tapered outer surface that mates perfectly with the bearing's inner ring bore.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from durable steel to withstand high clamping forces and provide long-lasting performance.
- Simplified Installation: Allows for straightforward mounting without the need for complex shaft machining like shoulders or keyways.
- Easy Removal: The design facilitates easy dismounting of the bearing for maintenance or replacement.
Common Applications
The H 3036 adapter sleeve is essential for mounting Spherical Roller Bearings and Self-Aligning Ball Bearings in a wide variety of industrial machinery, including:
- Conveyor Systems: Used in pulley and roller assemblies to ensure stable and reliable operation.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for fan shafts, accommodating heavy loads and vibrations.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as combines, balers, and tillers where robust bearing arrangements are critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Supports bearings in crushers, screens, and heavy-duty vehicles.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in roller and press sections where reliability is paramount.
- Large Gearboxes: Facilitates the mounting of bearings on transmission shafts.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures precise alignment and secure fitting of bearings in high-speed applications.
Benefits of Using the H 3036
- Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming shaft machining, allowing the use of commercially available smooth shafts.
- Enhanced Versatility: The bearing can be positioned at any point along the shaft, offering greater flexibility in machine design.
- Improved Reliability: Provides a strong, uniform grip on the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring the bearing operates correctly.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The sleeve simplifies both the mounting and dismounting process, minimizing machine downtime.
- Accurate Clearance Adjustment: Allows for precise setting of the bearing's internal radial clearance during installation.
- Full Shaft Strength: By avoiding the need for keyways or shoulders, the full strength and integrity of the shaft are maintained.
