Product Overview: H 3160 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3160 is a high-quality adapter sleeve, an essential component from our H 3100 Series of Adapter Sleeves. Designed for a 280mm shaft diameter, this sleeve facilitates the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. It simplifies the installation process by providing a secure and precise fit without the need for complex shaft machining. Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings, ensuring they are firmly positioned and operate efficiently.
Manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, the H 3160 adapter sleeve assembly, which includes a lock nut and lock washer, provides a reliable solution for a wide range of industrial applications. This component is crucial for machinery where shafts are subject to heavy loads and operational stress, enabling easy mounting, dismounting, and maintenance. Explore our full range of Sleeves to find the perfect solution for your equipment.
Key Features of the H 3160 Adapter Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Allows for easy installation of bearings with a tapered bore onto plain or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Precise Fit: Ensures a tight, concentric grip on the shaft, which is crucial for high-speed or high-precision applications.
- Slit Sleeve Design: The sleeve is slit, allowing it to be compressed onto the shaft for a secure fit when the lock nut is tightened.
- Tapered Exterior: Features a 1:12 taper to match the bore of standard self-aligning ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, and CARB toroidal roller bearings.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer (not included with sleeve purchase, must be bought separately) to secure the bearing in place.
- Versatility: Can be used on shafts made of various materials and does not require special shoulders or locating features on the shaft.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-strength steel to withstand the forces of mounting and operational loads, ensuring long service life.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used to mount large bearings on fan shafts, providing stability and simplifying assembly.
- Conveyor Systems: Secures bearings on long conveyor shafts, which may have slight variations in diameter.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Essential for mounting bearings in crushers, vibrating screens, and heavy-duty machinery.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Provides a reliable mounting solution for bearings in rollers and processing equipment exposed to harsh conditions.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in equipment like combines and balers to mount bearings on shafts securely.
- Power Transmission Systems: Facilitates the mounting of bearings in gearboxes, plummer blocks, and other transmission assemblies.
- Large Electric Motors and Generators: Ensures that rotor bearings are securely mounted on shafts for reliable performance.
Benefits of Using the H 3160 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective Shaft Design: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft machining, such as creating steps or shoulders, reducing manufacturing costs.
- Easy Installation and Removal: Simplifies the process of mounting and dismounting bearings, which reduces maintenance time and labor costs.
- Improved Bearing Performance: Provides a secure and accurate seat for the bearing, which helps in achieving the intended operational clearance and extends bearing life.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Can be used on commercial-grade shafts with wider diameter tolerances, offering greater design flexibility.
- Full Shaft Contact: The tightening mechanism ensures full contact along the shaft, distributing the load evenly and preventing fretting corrosion.
- Enhanced Reliability: Creates a robust and secure assembly that maintains its position even under vibration and heavy loads.
