Product Overview: The H 3060 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3060 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve, an essential component from our OH 3000 Series. Specifically designed for mounting bearings with a 300 mm tapered bore onto a 280 mm cylindrical shaft, this sleeve simplifies both installation and removal. Its integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves allow for the use of the hydraulic method, where high-pressure oil is injected between the sleeve and the bearing, creating a nearly frictionless film for easy positioning and dismounting. This advanced feature is crucial in heavy-duty applications where mechanical force alone would be impractical.
As a key part of our Adapter Sleeves collection, the H 3060 OH ensures a secure and precise fit, enabling bearings to be located accurately on the shaft and operate at their full potential. This component is supplied complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer to secure the assembly firmly in place.
Key Features of the H 3060 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Features oil supply ducts and grooves for easy, damage-free installation and removal using the oil injection method.
- Secure Bearing Location: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be firmly positioned on smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a set with a high-quality lock nut and a secure locking washer for a reliable installation.
- Precision Machining: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure excellent concentricity and a strong, consistent grip on the shaft.
- High-Strength Construction: Made from durable, high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Versatile Application: Enables the use of standard shafts without the need for special machining, reducing overall costs.
Common Applications
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Facilitates the maintenance and replacement of bearings in heavy rotating equipment.
- Mining and Construction Machinery: Used in crushers, grinding mills, and large conveyors where components are subject to extreme loads and vibration.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for mounting bearings on long rollers and shafts in paper machines.
- Steel and Metal Processing: Applied in rolling mills and other heavy machinery requiring robust and reliable bearing arrangements.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Secures bearings on propeller shafts and in large gearboxes, where reliability is critical.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines and generators for secure and precise rotor support.
Benefits of Using the H 3060 OH
- Reduced Installation Time: The hydraulic method significantly speeds up the mounting process compared to traditional mechanical techniques.
- Prevents Component Damage: Eliminates the risk of scoring or damaging the bearing bore or shaft during mounting and dismounting.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure fit, minimizing fretting corrosion and ensuring stable bearing performance.
- Simplified Maintenance: Greatly simplifies the process of bearing inspection and replacement, reducing machine downtime.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Allows the use of less expensive cylindrical shafts instead of custom-machined stepped shafts.
- Improved Safety: Reduces the need for heavy physical force, sledges, and heaters during installation, creating a safer working environment.
