Product Overview: H 3292 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3292 OH is a high-performance hydraulic adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto 450mm cylindrical shafts. As a critical component in our OH Series of Adapter Sleeves, it provides a simple, reliable, and efficient method for securing large bearings. The 'OH' designation signifies the inclusion of integrated oil supply ducts and distribution grooves, which facilitate hydraulic mounting and dismounting. This advanced feature allows for the precise application of oil pressure to expand the sleeve, enabling effortless installation and removal without damaging the bearing or shaft.
This sleeve is supplied as a complete assembly, including a precision-engineered lock nut and a secure lock washer. The H 3292 OH simplifies bearing arrangements by allowing the use of standard, un-stepped shafts, reducing machining costs and complexity. It is an indispensable accessory for heavy-duty industrial applications where secure mounting and ease of maintenance are paramount.
Key Features of the H 3292 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting/Dismounting: Features integrated oil ducts for use with the hydraulic method, simplifying the installation and removal of large bearings.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied with a corresponding high-strength lock nut and lock washer for a secure and complete mounting solution.
- Enables Use of Smooth Shafts: Allows bearings to be located at any position on a plain cylindrical shaft, eliminating the need for expensive stepped shafts.
- Precision Machined Taper: Ensures a true and accurate interference fit between the bearing's tapered bore and the shaft.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Reduces Maintenance Time: The hydraulic feature significantly speeds up the dismounting process, minimizing equipment downtime.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in large conveyors, crushers, and grinding mills where bearings are subjected to extreme loads and harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers in paper machines, ensuring reliability and simplifying maintenance.
- Steel Mills: Applied in rolling mills and continuous casting machinery that require robust and easily serviceable bearing arrangements.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings in heavy-duty ventilation systems.
- Marine and Offshore: Utilized in propeller shaft arrangements and other large-scale marine equipment.
- Power Generation: Suitable for applications in turbines, generators, and large gearboxes where reliability is critical.
Benefits of Using the H 3292 OH Sleeve
- Simplified Installation: The hydraulic method allows for precise and low-effort positioning of the bearing on the shaft.
- Damage-Free Removal: Prevents scoring and damage to the shaft and bearing bore during dismounting, preserving component integrity.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces overall costs by enabling the use of standard commercial shafts and simplifying the overall design.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a solid, 360-degree interference fit, ensuring the bearing is securely locked to the shaft for optimal performance.
- Improved Maintenance Safety: The controlled nature of hydraulic dismounting is safer than using brute force methods with large components.
- Versatile Positioning: Bearings can be easily located and re-located anywhere along the length of a cylindrical shaft.
