Product Overview: The H 3156 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3156 is a high-quality adapter sleeve from our H 3100 Series, designed to facilitate the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically engineered for a 260mm shaft diameter, this sleeve provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securely locating bearings. As an essential component in our range of Bearing Accessories, the H 3156, when used with its corresponding lock nut and washer, ensures that the bearing is firmly fixed in its operational position, preventing axial movement and ensuring optimal performance.
Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings on a shaft, as they allow for the use of commercially available shafts with wider tolerances. Our H 3156 is manufactured to precise industry standards, making it a dependable choice for a vast array of industrial and mechanical applications.

Key Features of the H 3156
- Simplified Mounting: Allows for easy installation of tapered bore bearings onto plain or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fit: The tapered design ensures a tight interference fit between the bearing and the shaft when the lock nut is tightened.
- Complete Assembly: Designed to be used with a corresponding lock nut (KM 56) and lock washer (MB 56) for a full, secure mounting solution.
- Versatility: Accommodates wider shaft tolerances, reducing the need for expensive, high-precision shaft machining.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational stresses, ensuring long service life.
- Slotted Design: Features a longitudinal slit that allows for easy contraction and a firm grip on the shaft.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used to mount large gears and bearings securely onto shafts.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for securing bearings on head and tail pulleys where reliability is critical.
- Agricultural Machinery: Employed in heavy-duty equipment like combines and balers to handle high loads and harsh conditions.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Provides robust bearing mounting in crushers, screens, and earth-moving machinery.
- Fans and Blowers: Ensures bearings are securely fixed in large industrial ventilation systems.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing equipment where shafts are long and may have wider tolerances.
- Power Transmission: A fundamental component in various power transmission assemblies for mounting bearings and other components.
Benefits of Using the H 3156
- Cost-Effective Installation: Reduces the overall cost by allowing the use of less precisely machined shafts.
- Easy Maintenance: The sleeve design simplifies both the mounting and dismounting of bearings, reducing downtime during maintenance.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a strong, concentric grip that prevents fretting corrosion between the shaft and the bearing bore.
- Improved Bearing Life: Ensures the bearing is correctly and securely positioned, leading to a longer operational lifespan.
- Flexible Positioning: Allows the bearing to be located at any position along a plain shaft, offering design flexibility.
- Reduced Inventory: Enables a single bearing size to be used on shafts of slightly different diameters by using different sleeves.
