Product Overview: The H 3180 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3180 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to facilitate the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically engineered for a 380mm shaft diameter, this sleeve is a critical component in our H 3100 Series of Adapter Sleeves. Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seating as they can be used on plain or stepped shafts. They are easy to install and require no additional location on the shaft, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
The H 3180 assembly comes complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, ensuring a secure and reliable fit. This system simplifies both mounting and dismounting procedures, protecting the shaft from wear and damage while providing a firm hold for the bearing.

Key Features of the H 3180
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a set with a lock nut and lock washer for secure and convenient installation.
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on cylindrical shafts without the need for a shoulder or special machining.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Can be used on shafts with wider diameter tolerances compared to direct mounting methods.
- Precision Ground Taper: Ensures a tight, concentric fit between the bearing inner ring and the sleeve.
- Slit Design: The sleeve is longitudinally slit to assist with clamping action when the lock nut is tightened.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
Common Applications
- Large Industrial Fans & Blowers: Provides secure mounting for large bearings on fan shafts.
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on head and tail pulleys where shaft adjustments are common.
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for heavy-duty equipment such as rock crushers, vibrating screens, and grinding mills.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings in paper machine rollers and processing equipment.
- Agricultural Machinery: Supports bearings in large implements and harvesting equipment that operate under demanding conditions.
- Steel Mills: Used in roller tables and other heavy machinery where robust bearing location is critical.
- Power Transmission: Secures bearings in large gearboxes, plummer blocks, and other transmission assemblies.
Benefits of Using the H 3180 Sleeve
- Simplified Installation and Removal: The design allows for straightforward mounting and dismounting, reducing maintenance time and effort.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive precision-machined shaft shoulders, reducing overall manufacturing costs.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, 360-degree grip on the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring stable bearing operation.
- Increased Versatility: Allows a standard bearing to be positioned at any point along a plain shaft.
- Shaft Protection: Protects the shaft surface from damage during the mounting and dismounting process.
- Improved Service Life: A secure and accurate fit minimizes vibration and runout, contributing to a longer life for the bearing and associated components.
