Product Overview: The H 3080 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3080 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto 400mm cylindrical shafts. As a critical component in our Adapter Sleeves range, this sleeve is part of the specialized OH Series and OH 3000 Series, which utilize oil injection for simplified mounting and dismounting of large bearings. The hydraulic method ensures a precise and secure interference fit while significantly reducing the risk of damage to the bearing or shaft during installation.
Manufactured from high-strength steel, the H 3080 OH provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for securing large bearings in demanding industrial applications. It eliminates the need for precision machining of steps or shoulders on the shaft, allowing for more flexible and straightforward machinery design. This sleeve is supplied as a complete assembly, including a lock nut and locking device, ensuring a secure and stable bearing position.
Key Features of the H 3080 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic Mounting: Features oil ducts and grooves for oil injection, enabling effortless and precise mounting using hydraulic pressure.
- Simplified Dismounting: The hydraulic system also facilitates easy removal of the bearing, minimizing downtime and maintenance effort.
- Secure Interference Fit: Achieves a strong, uniform grip on the shaft, ensuring reliable power transmission and preventing fretting corrosion.
- For 400mm Shafts: Specifically designed to locate bearings with a tapered bore on a 400mm diameter cylindrical shaft.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, dimensionally stable steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with a corresponding lock nut and locking device for a secure and complete mounting solution.
- Compensates for Tolerances: The split sleeve design can accommodate minor variations in shaft diameter, ensuring a consistent fit.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in heavy-duty equipment like rock crushers, conveyor belt pulleys, and grinding mills.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers in paper machines and processing equipment.
- Steel Manufacturing: Applied in rolling mills, continuous casters, and other high-load machinery.
- Marine and Offshore: Utilized in propeller shafts, large gearboxes, and rudder systems.
