Product Overview: The H 3064 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3064 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 320mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves range, this model is part of the robust OH 3000 Series. The 'OH' designation signifies that it includes integrated oil supply ducts, which facilitate the use of the hydraulic method for easy and precise mounting and dismounting of large bearings. This method minimizes the risk of damage to the bearing and shaft during installation and removal, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
Supplied as a complete set, the H 3064 OH includes a high-strength lock nut and a secure lock washer. This ensures a reliable and firm positioning of the bearing on the shaft, preventing axial movement during operation. These sleeves are essential bearing accessories for simplifying assembly in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features of the H 3064 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Features oil ducts and distribution grooves for the oil injection method, simplifying the installation and removal of large bearings.
- Complete Mounting Solution: Comes as a full assembly with a precision-engineered lock nut and lock washer for secure fastening.
- Accommodates Standard Shafts: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be used on economical and readily available cylindrical shafts, eliminating the need for a stepped shaft.
- Secure and Reliable Fit: Ensures tight, concentric gripping of the bearing on the shaft, maintaining precise alignment and performance.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable, high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Facilitates Maintenance: The hydraulic feature significantly reduces the time and effort required for bearing replacement and machinery maintenance.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in large conveyors, rock crushers, and screening equipment where robust mounting is critical.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Ideal for mounting bearings on the large rollers found in paper machines and processing lines.
- Steel Mills: Applied in rolling mills and continuous casting machines that handle extreme loads and temperatures.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures the secure mounting of rotor bearings in large-scale ventilation and air-handling systems.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propeller shafts, winches, and other heavy marine equipment requiring reliable bearing arrangements.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines, generators, and large gearboxes where precision and easy maintenance are paramount.
Benefits of Using the H 3064 OH Sleeve
- Reduced Installation Damage: The hydraulic method prevents the use of excessive force, protecting both the bearing and shaft from damage during mounting.
- Simplified Assembly: Allows for bearings to be mounted anywhere on a plain shaft, offering greater design flexibility.
- Cost-Effective Shafting: Eliminates the expense and complexity of machining steps or shoulders on shafts.
- Improved Operational Uptime: Faster and safer mounting and dismounting procedures reduce machinery downtime during maintenance cycles.
- Enhanced Bearing Performance: Provides a rigid and accurate seating for the bearing, contributing to a longer service life and optimal performance.
- Versatile Application: Can be used with various bearing types that have a tapered bore, including spherical roller bearings and self-aligning ball bearings.
