Product Overview: The H 3096 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3096 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 450mm diameter. As a key component in our OH Series of Adapter Sleeves, it is engineered for heavy-duty applications where easy and precise installation and dismounting are critical. This sleeve features integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves, allowing for the use of the oil injection method. This hydraulic technique simplifies the process of mounting and removing large bearings, preventing damage to both the bearing and the shaft, and ensuring a firm, reliable fit. The H 3096 OH is supplied as a complete set, including a high-strength lock nut and a secure lock washer.
Key Features of the H 3096 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Equipped with oil ducts for the oil injection method, enabling effortless and damage-free installation and removal.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied with a corresponding Lock Nut and Lock Washer for a full mounting solution.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure an accurate and secure interference fit between the bearing and the shaft.
- Split Sleeve Design: The longitudinal split simplifies placement over the shaft during installation.
- Enhanced Grip: Provides a robust connection, effectively transmitting high radial loads and preventing fretting corrosion.
- Versatile Application: Allows standard bearings with a tapered bore to be used on plain or stepped cylindrical shafts, reducing the need for custom shaft machining.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Used in large conveyors, crushers, and vibratory screens where bearings are subject to extreme loads and harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Ideal for mounting bearings on large rollers in paper machines, where frequent maintenance is required.
- Steel and Metal Processing: Essential for roll-neck bearings in steel mills and other heavy processing equipment.
- Marine and Offshore: Applied in propeller shafts and rudder systems that require reliable and serviceable bearing arrangements.
- Power Generation: Suitable for large industrial fans, blowers, and turbines in power plants.
- Large Gearboxes: Facilitates the mounting of large gears and bearings in industrial transmission systems.
Benefits of Using the H 3096 OH
- Reduced Downtime: The oil injection method drastically cuts down the time required for mounting and dismounting large bearings, minimizing machinery downtime.
- Prevents Component Damage: Eliminates the need for excessive force or heat during installation, protecting the bearing and shaft from damage.
- Increased Safety: Hydraulic mounting is a safer and more controlled process compared to traditional mechanical methods.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Simplifies the maintenance lifecycle, reducing labor costs and extending the service life of associated components.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures a consistently strong and uniform fit, which is crucial for the optimal performance of Spherical Roller Bearings in demanding applications.
- Simplified Logistics: Using adapter sleeves allows for a wider tolerance on the shaft diameter, simplifying the manufacturing and procurement process.
