Product Overview: H 320 Adapter Sleeve
The H 320 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 100mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Bearing Accessories range, this sleeve simplifies the installation process, allowing for secure and precise positioning of the bearing without the need for a shoulder or special machining on the shaft. This complete mounting solution, part of the H 300 Series, is supplied with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, ensuring a reliable assembly. Adapter Sleeves like the H 320 are the most commonly used components for locating bearings, providing a cost-effective and efficient method for a wide array of industrial applications.
Key Features of the H 320 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Kit: Supplied with a lock nut (KM 20) and a lock washer (MB 20) for a full mounting solution.
- For 100mm Shafts: Specifically designed to fit standard 100mm cylindrical shafts.
- Simplified Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted quickly and easily on plain shafts.
- Secure Bearing Location: Ensures the bearing is firmly fixed in the axial direction once tightened.
- Facilitates Dismounting: The design also makes dismounting the bearing straightforward, reducing maintenance time.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to ensure strength, durability, and a long service life under operational stress.
- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use with various bearing types, including self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on head and tail pulley shafts.
- Industrial Fans & Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for fan shaft bearings, ensuring stable operation.
- Agricultural Machinery: Employed in equipment like combines and balers where robust bearing mounting is essential.
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for heavy-duty machinery such as crushers, screens, and haul trucks.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in roller and felt guide applications where reliable bearing performance is critical.
- Large Gearboxes: Secures bearings on transmission shafts, ensuring proper gear alignment and function.
