Product Overview: The H 314 Adapter Sleeve
The H 314 adapter sleeve is a critical component within our H Series of Adapter Sleeves, meticulously designed to facilitate the secure mounting of spherical roller bearings and other tapered bore bearings onto cylindrical shafts. This robust industrial accessory is engineered for precision, ensuring a concentric fit that optimizes bearing performance and extends operational life. Specifically, the H 314 is sized to mount bearings onto a 70mm diameter shaft, making it ideal for a wide range of medium to heavy-duty industrial applications.
Adapter sleeves like the H 314 are renowned for their ease of installation and removal, which significantly simplifies maintenance procedures. They eliminate the need for tight tolerance machining on the shaft, allowing bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on standard cylindrical shafts with high accuracy and reliability. When paired with a compatible lock nut (such as KM 14) and lock washer (like MB 14), the H 314 provides a firm and stable seating for the bearing, preventing axial movement and ensuring consistent rotational performance under varying loads and speeds. As a key part of industrial power transmission systems, the H 314 adapter sleeve is a testament to reliable and efficient mechanical design.
