Product Overview: The H 3052 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3052 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for securely mounting bearings with a 260 mm tapered bore onto a 250 mm cylindrical shaft. As part of our specialized OH 3000 Series, this sleeve is engineered for heavy-duty applications where ease of mounting and dismounting is critical. It features integrated oil ducts and grooves that allow hydraulic fluid to be injected, expanding the sleeve to create a powerful, uniform grip on the shaft. This method simplifies installation and removal, preventing damage to both the bearing and the shaft.
As a key component in our range of Adapter Sleeves, the H 3052 OH allows for the use of standard commercial shafts, reducing the need for expensive custom machining. It is supplied as a complete assembly with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, providing a reliable and comprehensive mounting solution for large-scale industrial machinery.

Key Features of the H 3052 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting and Dismounting: Equipped with oil supply ducts and distribution grooves for fast, safe, and easy installation and removal using hydraulic pressure.
- Secure and Uniform Fit: The tapered design, combined with hydraulic pressure, ensures a strong 360-degree interference fit between the bearing and the shaft.
- Use with Standard Shafts: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on plain or stepped cylindrical shafts, offering design flexibility.
- Complete Mounting Solution: Typically supplied with a high-strength lock nut and a secure lock washer for a full-system installation.
- Prevents Component Damage: The hydraulic method minimizes the risk of scoring or damaging the bearing bore and shaft surface during fitting or removal.
- Precision Engineered: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure accurate and concentric positioning of the bearing.
Common Applications
- Steel and Paper Mills: Used for mounting large bearings on rollers and drums where heavy loads and high precision are required.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Ideal for crushers, conveyors, and screening machinery that operate under extreme conditions.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures secure and balanced mounting of fan rotors, reducing vibration and maintenance needs.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Employed in propeller shafts and gearboxes to facilitate reliable power transmission and easy servicing.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines, generators, and large motors where dependable bearing mounting is essential for continuous operation.
- Heavy-Duty Conveyor Pulleys: Provides a robust solution for mounting bearings on large conveyor systems in logistics and manufacturing.
Benefits of Using the H 3052 OH
- Reduced Maintenance Time: Significantly shortens the time required for mounting and dismounting large bearings, improving machine uptime.
- Enhanced Safety: Hydraulic methods are safer than traditional mechanical techniques that often involve heavy hammering or extreme heating.
- Extended Component Life: The non-damaging installation process helps preserve the integrity of the bearing and shaft, leading to a longer service life.
- Improved Reliability: Creates a powerful and consistent grip that prevents fretting corrosion and maintains bearing position under heavy or shock loads.
- Cost-Effective Design: Eliminates the need for special shaft machining (like keyways or shoulders), lowering overall manufacturing costs.
- Simplified Logistics: Allows for easier transportation and handling of shafts and bearings as separate components.
