Product Overview: The H 3152 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3152 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed to simplify the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 240mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, this sleeve is part of the robust OH 3100 Series, which is specifically engineered for applications requiring hydraulic assistance for mounting and dismounting. The 'OH' designation signifies the presence of oil supply ducts and distribution grooves, allowing for the oil injection method to be used. This technique creates a film of oil between the mating surfaces, drastically reducing the force required and minimizing the risk of damage to the bearing and shaft during installation and removal.
Manufactured from high-quality steel to precise tolerances, the H 3152 OH ensures a secure and concentric grip on the shaft, providing reliable support for heavy-duty applications. It is supplied as a complete assembly, including a high-strength lock nut and a corresponding lock washer, to facilitate a full mounting solution.
Key Features of the H 3152 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting Enabled: Features integrated oil ducts and grooves for effortless oil injection mounting and dismounting.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied with a precision lock nut and lock washer for secure fastening and reliable operation.
- Simplified Installation: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on standard cylindrical shafts without the need for a shaft shoulder or special machining.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-grade steel for excellent durability and resistance to heavy radial loads and operational stresses.
- Precision Fit: Engineered for tight tolerances to ensure a firm, concentric grip, reducing vibration and enhancing bearing performance.
- Reusable Design: Can be used multiple times, offering a cost-effective solution for bearing replacement and machinery maintenance.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Used in crushers, mills, and large conveyor systems where heavy loads and harsh conditions are standard.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Ideal for mounting large bearings on rollers and cylinders in paper-making machinery.
- Steel and Metal Processing: Essential for roll-neck bearings in rolling mills and other heavy processing equipment.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings on large fan shafts in ventilation and air handling systems.
- Marine and Offshore: Utilized in propeller shafts, rudder stocks, and deck machinery where reliability is critical.
- Power Generation: Applied in turbines, generators, and large gearboxes to support heavy rotating components.
Benefits of Using the H 3152 OH
- Reduced Downtime: Hydraulic mounting and dismounting significantly cuts down the time required for maintenance and bearing replacement.
- Prevents Component Damage: The oil injection method eliminates the need for excessive force, preventing scoring or damage to the bearing bore and shaft surface.
- Enhanced Safety: Reduces the physical effort and risks associated with mounting large bearings using traditional mechanical methods.
- Improved Reliability: Ensures a consistently strong and accurate interference fit, leading to longer bearing life and more reliable machine operation.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive, custom-machined stepped shafts, allowing the use of more economical straight shafts.
- Versatility: Allows the bearing to be positioned at any point on the shaft, providing flexibility in machine design and assembly.
