Product Overview: The H 3040 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3040 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 180mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, and part of the H 3000 Series, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securing bearings. The sleeve, along with a corresponding KM 40 lock nut and MB 40 lock washer, ensures that the bearing is correctly positioned and securely fastened on the shaft, allowing for full operational efficiency.
This system allows for the use of commercially available shafts with wider tolerances, simplifying assembly and reducing overall manufacturing costs. The H 3040 sleeve is precision-machined from durable steel to ensure a tight, concentric fit, facilitating easy mounting and dismounting without causing damage to the shaft or bearing. It is an essential accessory for a wide range of industrial applications where robust and reliable bearing arrangements are required.
Key Features of the H 3040 Adapter Sleeve
- Easy Installation: Simplifies the process of mounting tapered bore bearings onto straight cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fit: When used with a lock nut and washer, it provides strong and reliable axial location for the bearing.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Allows for the use of standard commercial shafts, reducing the need for expensive, precision-ground shafts.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel for excellent strength and longevity in demanding industrial environments.
- Facilitates Dismounting: The design allows for straightforward removal of the bearing for maintenance or replacement, minimizing downtime.
- Complete Mounting Solution: Designed to be used with a KM 40 lock nut and MB 40 lock washer to form a complete and secure assembly.
