Product Overview: H 3196 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3196 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a 1:12 tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 480mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, this sleeve is part of the specialized OH 3100 Series, which features integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves for hydraulic mounting and dismounting. This advanced design significantly simplifies the installation and removal of large bearings, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of damage to the bearing or shaft.
Manufactured to precise standards, the H 3196 OH adapter sleeve ensures a secure and concentric fit, enabling bearings to operate at their full potential. The hydraulic method involves injecting oil under high pressure between the sleeve and the bearing bore, creating an oil film that allows for nearly frictionless positioning. This technique is indispensable for heavy-duty applications where mechanical force alone is impractical. Explore our full range of Sleeves and Bearing Accessories for a complete mounting solution.
Key Features of the H 3196 OH
