Product Overview: The H 316 Adapter Sleeve
The H 316 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically engineered for a 75mm shaft diameter, this sleeve facilitates a secure and precise fit for bearings with an 80mm tapered bore. As a crucial component in our Bearing Accessories lineup, the H 316 is part of the versatile H 300 Series of Adapter Sleeves, renowned for their reliability and ease of use in a wide range of industrial applications.
Adapter sleeves are the most common components for locating bearings on a smooth shaft, eliminating the need for complex and costly shaft machining. The H 316 assembly, which includes the slotted sleeve, a corresponding lock nut (KM 16), and a lock washer (MB 16), ensures that the bearing is firmly positioned axially and radially, providing stable and efficient operation. This system simplifies both installation and dismounting, making it a preferred choice for maintenance and manufacturing professionals.
Key Features of the H 316 Adapter Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Allows bearings with a 1:12 tapered bore to be mounted on plain or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Precise Positioning: Enables the bearing to be accurately positioned anywhere along a smooth shaft.
- Secure Fitment: The combination of the sleeve, lock nut, and lock washer provides a strong, reliable clamping force.
- Cost-Effective Shafting: Eliminates the need for shoulders, keyways, or other special shaft machining.
- Accommodates Tolerances: Can be used on shafts with wider diameter tolerances compared to direct-fit bearings.
- Easy Dismounting: Greatly simplifies the process of removing the bearing from the shaft for maintenance or replacement.
Common Applications
- Conveyor and Pulley Systems: Used to mount bearings on long shafts where precise positioning is critical.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides secure mounting for fan shaft bearings, ensuring smooth rotation and reducing vibration.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment like harvesters and balers, where components need to be robust and easily serviceable.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Supports bearings in crushers, screens, and conveyor drives operating in harsh conditions.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Facilitates the mounting of bearings on drive shafts and transmission components.
- Paper and Textile Mills: Used extensively on rollers and cylinders that require reliable bearing support.
Benefits of Using the H 316 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure connection between the bearing and the shaft, improving overall machine reliability.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: The ease of installation and removal reduces labor time and costs associated with bearing replacement.
- Increased Bearing Life: Ensures proper mounting and axial location, preventing premature bearing failure due to improper fit.
- Design Flexibility: Offers engineers more flexibility in shaft design and bearing placement.
- Operational Versatility: Compatible with various bearing types, including self-aligning ball bearings like the 1316 and spherical roller bearings like the 22216.
- Global Standard: Manufactured to internationally recognized standards, ensuring interchangeability and consistent performance.
