Product Overview: The H 318 Adapter Sleeve
The H 318 Adapter Sleeve is a fundamental component for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically designed for an 85mm shaft diameter, this sleeve is part of our versatile H 300 Series of Adapter Sleeves. It provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for locating bearings, such as Self-Aligning Ball Bearings and Spherical Roller Bearings, at any position on the shaft. The assembly, which includes a lock nut and lock washer, ensures the bearing is securely fastened, preventing axial movement and maintaining precise alignment during operation.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we provide high-quality adapter sleeves that meet stringent industry standards. The H 318 simplifies both installation and dismounting, eliminating the need for complex shaft machining like shoulders or keyways. This makes it an essential accessory for a wide range of industrial applications, from conveyor systems to heavy-duty machinery.
Features of the H 318 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a complete set with a precision-engineered lock nut and a secure lock washer.
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Allows for the straightforward installation of tapered bore bearings onto plain cylindrical shafts.
- Simplified Design: The split sleeve design enables easy installation, adjustment, and removal without damaging the shaft or bearing.
- Secure and Reliable Fit: Ensures a tight, concentric grip on the shaft, providing excellent stability and power transmission.
- Versatile Positioning: Enables bearings to be located at any point along a shaft, offering greater design flexibility.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to withstand high loads and ensure long-term operational reliability.
Applications of H 318 Adapter Sleeves
- Conveyor Systems: Used for mounting bearings on head and tail pulleys and idler rollers.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides secure mounting for fan shaft bearings in HVAC and industrial ventilation systems.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential for equipment such as combines, balers, and harvesters where robust bearing mounting is critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Applied in crushers, screens, and conveyors that operate under heavy loads and harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing equipment that require reliable and easily maintainable bearing arrangements.
- Gearboxes and Transmissions: Secures bearings on input and output shafts, ensuring precise gear alignment.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures smooth and stable operation of rollers and shafts in weaving and spinning machines.
Benefits of Using the H 318 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Eliminates the need for expensive stepped or specially machined shafts, reducing manufacturing costs.
- Simplified Installation and Removal: The sleeve can be easily tightened into place or dismounted, significantly reducing maintenance time and labor.
- Enhanced Bearing Performance: Provides full-surface contact between the shaft and bearing bore, ensuring correct seating and optimal load distribution.
- Increased Machine Uptime: The reliable and secure fit reduces the risk of bearing slippage and premature failure, leading to fewer breakdowns.
- Design Flexibility: Allows for easy axial adjustment and relocation of bearings on the shaft during initial assembly or maintenance.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Can compensate for minor variations in shaft diameter, ensuring a secure fit even on commercial-grade shafting.
