Product Overview: The H 32/670 Adapter Sleeve
The H 32/670 is a high-strength adapter sleeve from our H Series, specifically designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 670 mm diameter. As a critical component in our range of Adapter Sleeves, it provides a secure, reliable, and straightforward method for locating bearings on plain shafts without the need for shoulders or other special machining. The assembly, which typically includes a lock nut and lock washer, ensures the bearing is firmly positioned, preventing axial movement and ensuring optimal performance in heavy-duty applications.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the H 32/670 sleeve simplifies both the installation and dismounting of large bearings. Its split design and tapered outer surface create a tight interference fit when driven into the bearing bore, guaranteeing excellent concentricity and stability. This component is essential for large-scale industrial machinery where reliability and ease of maintenance are paramount.
Key Features of the H 32/670 Sleeve
- Shaft Compatibility: Designed for use on 670 mm diameter cylindrical shafts.
- Simplified Mounting: Allows for the easy installation of bearings with a tapered bore onto plain shafts.
- Secure Fastening: Used with a corresponding lock nut and washer (not included) to firmly lock the bearing in the desired axial position.
- Precision Taper: Features a accurately ground taper that ensures a solid interference fit with the bearing's inner ring.
- Split Design: The longitudinal slit in the sleeve allows for easy compression and a tight grip on the shaft.
- Versatile Positioning: Enables the bearing to be located at any point along the length of a cylindrical shaft.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
