Product Overview: The H 316 Adapter Sleeve
The H 316 adapter sleeve is a crucial component in industrial machinery, designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Part of our comprehensive H Series and specifically the H 300 Series, this sleeve provides a simple yet highly effective method for positioning and securing bearings without the need for stepped shafts or complex machining. With a nominal shaft diameter of 80mm, an outer diameter of 100mm, and a thickness of 58mm, the H 316 ensures a precise and reliable fit. It works by creating an interference fit between the tapered bore of the bearing and the cylindrical shaft when the lock nut is tightened, offering exceptional concentricity and stability for rotating applications.
As a leading supplier of adapter sleeves and other sleeves, we understand the importance of robust mounting solutions. The H 316 adapter sleeve, along with its accompanying lock nut (such as the KM 16) and lock washer (such as the MB 16), ensures easy installation and dismounting, which significantly reduces maintenance time and costs. This adaptability makes it an indispensable component in a wide array of industrial applications where reliability and ease of service are paramount. Explore our full range of adapter sleeves to enhance the performance and longevity of your bearing systems.
