Product Overview: The H 3132 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3132 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. As a key component in our H 3100 Series of Adapter Sleeves, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securing bearings. This sleeve is specifically engineered for a 150 mm shaft diameter and is used to mount bearings with a 160 mm tapered bore. The complete assembly includes the tapered sleeve, a corresponding lock nut (KM 32), and a lock washer (MB 32), ensuring a secure and precise fit. Adapter sleeves are essential Bearing Accessories that simplify both installation and dismounting processes, eliminating the need for complex shaft machining.
Features of the H 3132 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a full set with a lock nut and lock washer for immediate installation.
- Simplified Installation: Allows for easy mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto standard cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fitment: The tapered design and locking mechanism provide a strong, concentric grip, preventing slippage and ensuring precise bearing location.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft shoulders, keyways, or other special machining.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Can be used on commercial-grade shafts, compensating for minor variations in diameter.
- Facilitates Dismounting: Designed for straightforward removal, making maintenance and bearing replacement much easier.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount large fan bearings securely onto drive shafts.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for securing bearings on conveyor pulleys and rollers, which often require robust mounting.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Found in crushers, vibrating screens, and heavy-duty machinery where strong bearing fixation is critical.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Applied in paper machine rollers and other rotating equipment operating under heavy loads.
- Agricultural Machinery: Supports bearings in combines, harvesters, and other large farming equipment.
- Large Gearboxes and Transmissions: Ensures bearings are firmly positioned on shafts within industrial power transmission systems.
- Steel Manufacturing: Utilized in rolling mills and continuous casting machines.
Benefits of Using the H 3132 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, 360-degree grip on the shaft, reducing vibration and improving the operational stability of the bearing.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The design simplifies both the installation and removal of bearings, significantly cutting down on downtime.
- Increased Shaft Life: Protects the shaft surface from wear and damage that can occur during direct press-fitting of bearings.
- Versatile Application: Can be positioned at any point along a plain shaft, offering flexibility in machine design.
- Improved Assembly Accuracy: Allows for precise adjustment of the bearing's axial position and internal clearance during mounting.
- Lower Overall Costs: Reduces manufacturing costs by allowing the use of less precisely machined shafts and simplifying the overall assembly design.
