Product Overview: The H 3196 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3196 Adapter Sleeve is a high-quality component from our H 3100 Series, designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto 480 mm cylindrical shafts. As a crucial part of our Adapter Sleeves collection, this accessory simplifies the bearing mounting process, providing a precise and reliable fit without the need for complex shaft machining. It is supplied complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, ensuring a complete and secure assembly for demanding industrial applications.
Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings on a shaft, as they allow the bearing to be positioned precisely as needed and then locked in place. The H 3196 is manufactured to industry standards, ensuring interchangeability and consistent performance in various types of machinery.
Key Features of the H 3196
- Simplified Mounting: Allows for easy installation of bearings with a tapered bore onto smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Precise Positioning: Enables bearings to be accurately located and secured at any position along the shaft.
- Tapered Design: Features a tapered outer surface that perfectly matches the bearing's inner ring bore, ensuring a tight interference fit when the lock nut is tightened.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-strength steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Complete Assembly: Typically used with a compatible lock nut (KM 96) and lock washer (MB 96) to secure the bearing firmly in its operational position.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Accommodates wider shaft tolerances, reducing the need for expensive, high-precision shaft machining.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Secures bearings on input and output shafts, ensuring stable gear mesh and power transmission.
- Conveyor Belt Pulleys: Used for mounting large bearings in conveyor systems found in mining, aggregate, and logistics industries.
- Large Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings in heavy-duty ventilation and air-handling units.
- Steel and Paper Mills: Essential for mounting bearings on rollers and drums where high loads and continuous operation are standard.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Used in machinery like crushers, screens, and excavators to support rotating components under harsh conditions.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in large equipment such as combines and harvesters for reliable bearing performance.
- Pumps and Compressors: Facilitates the secure mounting of bearings on shafts in large-scale fluid and gas handling systems.
Benefits of Using the H 3196 Adapter Sleeve
- Enhanced Installation Efficiency: Reduces assembly time and complexity compared to other mounting methods.
- Increased Machine Uptime: The secure fit minimizes the risk of bearing slippage and premature failure, leading to more reliable machine operation.
- Easy Dismounting: Greatly simplifies the process of bearing removal for maintenance or replacement, reducing downtime.
- Shaft Protection: Prevents direct contact between the bearing and the shaft, protecting the shaft surface from damage during mounting and dismounting.
- Versatility: Allows standard commercial-grade shafts to be used, offering flexibility in design and sourcing.
- Improved Bearing Lifespan: A correct and secure fit ensures optimal bearing performance and contributes to achieving its maximum service life.
