Product Overview: The H 32/560 Adapter Sleeve
The H 32/560 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a 560 mm tapered bore onto a 530 mm cylindrical shaft. As a key component in our H Series, this sleeve provides a complete mounting solution, typically supplied with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer. It simplifies the process of securing large bearings, ensuring a tight and reliable fit without the need for complex shaft machining. This makes it an indispensable accessory for heavy-duty industrial applications where precision and durability are paramount.
Part of the H 3200 Series, the H 32/560 is manufactured to precise tolerances from high-grade steel, ensuring concentricity and strength. Adapter sleeves like this are the most commonly used components for locating bearings on a shaft, as they can be used on plain or stepped shafts. They offer easy installation and dismounting, making maintenance more efficient and cost-effective.
