Product Overview: The H 3276 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3276 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts with a 360mm diameter. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, and a part of the H 3200 Series, this sleeve facilitates easy and secure installation, ensuring a tight fit and reliable operation. The sleeve is supplied complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer, providing a full mounting solution. Its precision-engineered design allows for wider shaft tolerances compared to direct mounting, making it a cost-effective and versatile choice for heavy-duty industrial machinery.
Key Features of the H 3276 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied with a lock nut and lock washer for secure and reliable fastening.
- Simplified Installation: The slit design allows the sleeve to be easily pressed into the bearing bore and tightened onto the shaft without specialized heating equipment.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: Enables the use of commercial-grade cylindrical shafts, reducing the need for expensive precision machining.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable steel to withstand high radial loads and ensure long service life.
- Facilitates Easy Dismounting: Simplifies the process of removing bearings from shafts for maintenance or replacement.
- Protects Shaft Surface: The sleeve provides a consistent mounting surface, preventing direct contact and potential damage to the shaft.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Used in large conveyor systems, crushers, and screening machines where robust shaft mounting is essential.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Ideal for mounting bearings on the large rollers and drums found in paper processing machinery.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides secure mounting for bearings in large-scale ventilation and air-handling systems.
- Heavy-Duty Gearboxes: Ensures reliable shaft and bearing assembly in industrial transmissions and power generation equipment.
- Steel Manufacturing: Employed in rolling mills and continuous casting machines that operate under extreme loads and temperatures.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Used in propeller shaft assemblies and other critical marine applications requiring dependable performance.
Benefits of Using the H 3276 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, concentric grip on the shaft, minimizing vibration and ensuring stable bearing performance.
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Eliminates the need for specially machined steps or shoulders on the shaft, lowering manufacturing costs.
- Increased Operational Uptime: The ease of installation and dismounting reduces maintenance time and associated labor costs.
- Versatile Positioning: Allows the bearing to be located at any position along a plain cylindrical shaft, offering design flexibility.
- Extended Bearing Life: A proper and secure fit prevents inner ring rotation on the shaft, a common cause of premature bearing failure.
- Global Interchangeability: Manufactured to international standards, ensuring it can be interchanged with other equivalent adapter sleeves.
