Product Overview: The H 31/500 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 31/500 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 500mm diameter. As a key component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, and specifically part of the OH 3100 Series, this sleeve simplifies the mounting and dismounting of large bearings. The hydraulic method allows for a precise and strong interference fit with minimal effort, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the bearing or shaft during installation. This makes it an essential solution for heavy-duty industrial machinery where reliability and ease of maintenance are paramount.
Key Features of the H 31/500 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting and Dismounting: Features oil ducts and grooves for hydraulic oil injection, enabling effortless and precise installation and removal.
- Designed for 500mm Shafts: Precision-engineered to provide a secure fit on large 500mm cylindrical shafts.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a complete set, including a high-precision lock nut and a locking device for secure fastening.
- High Concentricity: Ensures accurate positioning of the bearing on the shaft, which minimizes vibration and enhances operational stability.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to withstand high mounting forces and heavy operational loads.
- Simplifies Shaft Design: Allows bearings to be located at any position on a plain shaft, eliminating the need for shoulders, keyways, or other special machining.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Used in large conveyors, rock crushers, and heavy earth-moving equipment.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers in paper machines.
- Steel and Metal Processing: Applied in rolling mills, continuous casters, and other heavy machinery.
- Marine and Offshore: Ideal for propeller shafts and large gearboxes in marine propulsion systems.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines, generators, and large industrial fans where reliable bearing performance is critical.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Facilitates the mounting of bearings on large transmission shafts.
Benefits of Using the H 31/500 OH Sleeve
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The hydraulic method drastically cuts down the time required for mounting and dismounting large bearings.
- Prevents Component Damage: Eliminates the need for hammering or excessive force, protecting both the bearing and the shaft from damage.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a uniform and powerful grip on the shaft, ensuring a secure fit that will not loosen under heavy loads or vibration.
- Improved Bearing Lifespan: Accurate mounting and reduced risk of installation damage contribute to a longer service life for the bearing.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Simplifies shaft manufacturing and reduces overall assembly and maintenance costs associated with large machinery.
- Increased Safety: Hydraulic mounting is a safer procedure compared to traditional mechanical methods, reducing risks for maintenance personnel.
