Product Overview: The H 310 Adapter Sleeve
The H 310 is an essential component from our H 300 Series of Adapter Sleeves, designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 45mm diameter. This sleeve simplifies the bearing assembly process, eliminating the need for a specially machined shoulder or seat on the shaft. It is a complete mounting solution, typically supplied with a corresponding lock nut (KM 10) and lock washer (MB 10) to ensure the bearing is firmly fixed in its axial position.
As a key part of our Bearing Accessories range, the H 310 adapter sleeve provides a reliable and cost-effective method for bearing installation. Its precision-engineered taper ensures a tight interference fit between the bearing's inner ring and the shaft, facilitating optimal performance and longevity. This widely used mounting method is suitable for a vast array of industrial machinery where dependable operation is paramount.
Key Features of the H 310 Adapter Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on plain or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fixation: The tapered design, combined with a lock nut and washer, creates a strong, reliable fit that prevents axial movement.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft machining, allowing for the use of commercially available shafts with wider tolerances.
- Ease of Installation: The sleeve is slit, which allows it to be easily compressed onto the shaft as the bearing is driven up the taper.
- Full Assembly: Typically used as a system with a KM 10 lock nut and MB 10 lock washer for complete and secure mounting.
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with various bearing types, including self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Secures bearings on fan shafts, ensuring stable and vibration-free operation.
- Conveyor Belt Pulleys: Provides a robust mounting solution for pulley bearings in material handling systems.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in equipment such as harvesters and combines for mounting bearings on shafts exposed to heavy loads.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Facilitates the assembly of bearings within industrial pump and gearbox systems.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Ideal for heavy-duty applications where secure bearing mounting is critical for reliability.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures precise and stable rotation of rollers and cylinders.
- Paper Mills: Used for mounting bearings in large rotating equipment found in paper manufacturing.
Benefits of Using the H 310 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a concentric and secure grip on the shaft, improving the overall stability and performance of the bearing arrangement.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: Simplifies both the mounting and dismounting process, allowing for quicker bearing replacement and less machine downtime.
- Increased Shaft Life: Protects the shaft surface from wear and damage that can occur during direct bearing mounting or removal.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: A secure fit minimizes vibration and slippage, contributing to smoother and more efficient machinery operation.
- Flexible Design Options: Allows bearings to be located at any position along a plain shaft, offering greater flexibility in machine design.
- Lower Overall Costs: Reduces manufacturing costs by enabling the use of less precisely machined shafts and simplifying the assembly process.
