Product Overview: The H 3264 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3264 OH is a high-performance adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a 320 mm tapered bore onto a 300 mm cylindrical shaft. As a key component in our OH Series of hydraulic Adapter Sleeves, it simplifies the installation and removal process for large bearings. This sleeve is supplied as a complete set, including a precision-engineered lock nut and a secure lock washer, providing a reliable and comprehensive mounting solution for heavy-duty applications. The 'OH' designation signifies the inclusion of oil supply ducts and distribution grooves, which allow for the use of the hydraulic method for effortless mounting and dismounting.
Engineered for strength and precision, the H 3264 OH ensures a secure and concentric fit, reducing vibration and enhancing the operational life of the bearing assembly. It is an indispensable component in machinery where reliability and ease of maintenance are paramount. Explore our complete range of Sleeves to find the perfect solution for your industrial requirements.
Key Features of the H 3264 OH Sleeve
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Features integrated oil ducts and grooves that facilitate the oil injection method, significantly reducing the force required for installation and removal.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied with a corresponding high-strength lock nut and lock washer, ensuring a secure and reliable fastening system.
- Tapered Design: The 1:12 taper provides a strong, concentric grip on the bearing's inner ring, ensuring a tight interference fit on the shaft.
- Precision Machining: Manufactured to tight tolerances to guarantee accurate shaft-to-bearing alignment and smooth operation.
- Facilitates Use of Standard Shafts: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be used on economical, straight cylindrical shafts without the need for a shoulder or special machining.
- Slit Sleeve Construction: The split design allows for easy installation and provides firm contact with both the shaft and the bearing bore.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in crushers, conveyor belt pulleys, and vibrating screens where large bearings are subject to heavy loads and harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings on rollers in paper machines, which require precise alignment and easy maintenance.
- Steel Mills: Applied in rolling mills, continuous casters, and other heavy machinery requiring robust and secure bearing arrangements.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures stable and secure mounting of bearings on large fan shafts, crucial for balanced and efficient operation.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Used in propeller shafts and gearboxes where reliability and the ability to perform maintenance are critical.
- Cement and Construction: Deployed in grinding mills, kilns, and large gear drives that operate under extreme loads and abrasive environments.
Benefits of Using the H 3264 OH Adapter Sleeve
- Simplified Maintenance: The hydraulic feature makes dismounting large, tightly fitted bearings quick and straightforward, minimizing downtime and labor costs.
- Enhanced Bearing Performance: Achieves a precise and uniform interference fit, which is critical for maximizing bearing life and performance under heavy radial loads.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: Prevents damage to the bearing and shaft during installation and removal, which can occur with purely mechanical methods.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates the need for expensive stepped or tapered shafts, allowing for the use of standard commercial-grade cylindrical shafting.
- Increased Operational Reliability: The secure locking mechanism prevents the bearing from loosening on the shaft, even in high-vibration applications.
- Versatile Application: Provides a flexible mounting solution that can accommodate minor variations in shaft diameter while maintaining a secure fit.
