Product Overview: The H 322 Adapter Sleeve
The H 322 Adapter Sleeve is a crucial component for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 110mm diameter. As part of our comprehensive H 300 Series, this adapter sleeve provides a reliable and easy-to-install solution for a wide range of industrial applications. It simplifies the mounting process by eliminating the need for a specially machined shaft shoulder or locating ring. The H 322 is a complete assembly, typically supplied with a high-quality lock nut and lock washer to ensure the bearing is firmly secured in its operational position.
These Adapter Sleeves are designed for use with self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings on plain shafts. The slotted sleeve is compressed around the shaft when the lock nut is tightened, creating a strong, concentric grip that prevents slippage and ensures smooth power transmission. Our H 322 sleeves are manufactured to precise industry standards, making them a trusted choice for maintenance, repair, and new equipment manufacturing.
Features of the H 322 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a set with a corresponding lock nut (KM 22) and lock washer (MB 22) for secure installation.
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure a perfect fit and reliable performance.
- Slotted Design: The sleeve's tapered and slotted construction provides a strong, uniform grip on the shaft when tightened.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from durable steel for excellent strength and resistance to wear and deformation.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a broad range of industrial machinery where secure bearing location is critical.
Applications of H 322 Sleeves
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on head and tail pulley shafts.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Secures bearings in large fan assemblies, ensuring stable and vibration-free operation.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as combines and balers where components are subject to high loads and vibration.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Provides robust mounting for bearings in crushers, screeners, and conveyor drives.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in roller and press sections where reliability and ease of maintenance are paramount.
- Large Pumps and Compressors: Ensures precise alignment and secure fitting of bearings on drive shafts.
- Gearboxes and Transmissions: Simplifies the assembly process for shafts carrying multiple bearings.
Benefits of Using the H 322 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive and complex machining of stepped shafts.
- Simplified Installation and Removal: The sleeve design makes mounting and dismounting bearings a straightforward process, reducing downtime.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure and concentric fit, which improves the operational life of the bearing.
- Design Flexibility: Allows bearings to be positioned at any point along a plain shaft without the need for shoulders or spacers.
- Reduced Maintenance: A secure fit prevents fretting corrosion between the shaft and the bearing bore, leading to longer service life for both components.
- Improved Accuracy: Helps maintain precise bearing clearance and alignment during operation.
