Product Overview: The H 3272 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3272 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to securely mount bearings with a 400mm tapered bore onto a 360mm cylindrical shaft. As a key component in our H Series, this sleeve simplifies the installation and removal process for large bearings, providing a reliable and cost-effective mounting solution. Part of the extensive H 3200 Series, the H 3272 is essential for heavy-duty applications where a precise and durable bearing seat is required. It allows for the use of standard commercial shafts, eliminating the need for complex and expensive stepped shaft designs.
These Adapter Sleeves come complete with a lock nut and lock washer, ensuring that the bearing is properly secured both axially and radially. Manufactured from high-strength steel, the H 3272 provides excellent clamping force and maintains bearing position even under significant loads and vibrations, making it an indispensable part of many industrial assemblies.
Key Features of the H 3272 Sleeve
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Enables bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on cylindrical shafts quickly and efficiently.
- Precision Machined: Engineered for tight tolerances to ensure a secure and concentric fit, minimizing vibration.
- Slit Design: Features a longitudinal slit that allows for effective clamping onto the shaft when the lock nut is tightened.
- High-Strength Material: Constructed from durable steel to withstand high clamping forces and operational stresses.
- Simplifies Dismounting: Designed to make the removal of bearings straightforward, reducing maintenance time and effort.
- Cost-Effective: Allows for the use of less expensive, straight cylindrical shafts instead of custom-machined stepped shafts.
- Complete Assembly: Typically supplied with the appropriate lock nut and lock washer for a full mounting solution.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in conveyor systems, crushers, and screening equipment where large bearings are common.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers and drums in processing machinery.
- Cement and Aggregate Production: Applied in kilns, grinding mills, and large gearboxes that operate under harsh conditions.
- Steel Manufacturing: Utilized in rolling mills and continuous casting machines to support heavy roller bearings.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting for bearings in large-scale ventilation and air-handling systems.
- Power Generation: Found in turbines, generators, and large pump assemblies.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Used for mounting bearings on propeller shafts and in large gearbox applications.
Benefits of Using the H 3272 Adapter Sleeve
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: Provides a stable and secure bearing seat, improving the overall performance and reliability of the machinery.
