Product Overview: The H 3184 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3184 is a precision-engineered adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically, this sleeve is suitable for shafts with a diameter of 420mm. As a key component in our H 3100 Series, it provides a secure and reliable method for locating bearings, ensuring they can be easily positioned and dismounted. This makes it an indispensable part of our wider Adapter Sleeves collection.
Adapter sleeves like the H 3184 are essential Bearing Accessories that simplify the assembly process and allow for the use of commercial-grade shafts with wider tolerances. The sleeve is supplied complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, providing a full mounting solution. Its robust construction ensures longevity and stable performance in demanding industrial environments where large machinery operates under heavy loads.
Key Features of the H 3184
- Easy Installation: Simplifies the mounting of bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts.
- Secure Fit: Provides a strong, 360-degree interference fit when tightened with the lock nut, preventing fretting corrosion.
- Versatile Shafting: Allows for the use of standard commercial shafts, reducing the need for precise machining of a bearing seat.
- Full Assembly: Typically supplied with a high-quality lock nut and lock washer for a complete and secure installation.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to withstand heavy radial loads and harsh operating conditions.
- Facilitates Dismounting: The design also makes it easier to remove the bearing from the shaft for maintenance or replacement.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in conveyor systems, crushers, and screening equipment where robust bearing arrangements are critical.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Ideal for mounting bearings on large rollers and cylinders in paper processing machinery.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures secure mounting of large bearings in heavy-duty ventilation systems.
- Steel Manufacturing: Applied in rolling mills and continuous casting machines that handle extreme loads and temperatures.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propulsion systems, winches, and other large-scale marine equipment.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines, generators, and large gearboxes requiring reliable bearing performance.
Benefits of Using the H 3184 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive, custom-machined stepped shafts, saving on manufacturing costs.
- Simplified Assembly: Reduces installation time and complexity, allowing bearings to be mounted quickly and accurately.
- Enhanced Reliability: Ensures a secure and concentric grip on the shaft, improving the operational stability of the entire assembly.
- Increased Service Life: A proper fit minimizes vibration and wear, extending the life of both the bearing and the shaft.
- Maintenance Friendly: Bearings can be easily dismounted by loosening the lock nut, simplifying inspection and replacement procedures.
- Accommodates Tolerances: Can be used on shafts with wider diameter tolerances than required for direct-fit bearings.
