Product Overview: The H 3296 OH Hydraulic Adapter Sleeve
The H 3296 OH is a high-performance hydraulic Adapter Sleeve, a key component in our OH Series for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. Specifically designed for a 475mm shaft diameter, this sleeve facilitates the secure positioning of large bearings, such as the 23296 spherical roller bearing. The 'OH' designation signifies its advanced hydraulic-assisted design, which incorporates oil supply ducts and distribution grooves. This feature allows for the injection of oil under high pressure between the sleeve and the bearing, dramatically simplifying the mounting and dismounting process for heavy-duty applications.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide top-quality Sleeves that meet rigorous industry standards. The H 3296 OH from the OH 3200 Series ensures a precise and reliable interference fit, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring optimal machine performance. It comes complete with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer to secure the bearing firmly in place.
Key Features of the H 3296 OH
- Hydraulic Mounting and Dismounting: Features integrated oil ducts and grooves that enable the use of the hydraulic method, significantly reducing the force and time required for installation and removal.
- Precision Taper: Machined to a precise 1:12 taper to ensure a perfect interference fit with the bearing's tapered bore.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a complete set with a high-strength lock nut and a secure lock washer for immediate installation.
- Slotted Design: The sleeve is slit, allowing it to be compressed tightly onto the shaft when the lock nut is tightened, creating a solid grip.
- High-Grade Steel Construction: Manufactured from durable, high-quality steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational loads.
- Shaft Compatibility: Enables the use of standard bearings on plain or stepped cylindrical shafts without the need for special machining.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in large conveyor pulleys, crushers, and vibratory screens where bearings are subjected to heavy loads and harsh environments.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for mounting bearings on large rollers in paper machines, calendars, and winders.
- Steel Manufacturing: Applied in rolling mills, continuous casters, and other heavy machinery requiring robust bearing arrangements.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propeller shafts, gearboxes, and rudder systems that require reliable and serviceable bearing solutions.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for the bearings supporting heavy fan rotors.
- Power Generation: Used in turbines, generators, and other large rotating equipment.
Benefits of Using the H 3296 OH
- Simplified Installation: The hydraulic method makes mounting large, heavy bearings a safe and straightforward process, minimizing manual effort.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: Eliminates the need for hammering or excessive force, preventing damage to the bearing, sleeve, and shaft during assembly.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability: Achieves a strong and uniform interference fit, ensuring the bearing operates correctly and reducing the risk of premature failure.
- Faster Maintenance: Hydraulic dismounting significantly speeds up the process of bearing replacement, reducing machinery downtime and maintenance costs.
- Cost-Effective Shafting: Allows for the use of commercially available plain shafts, which are more economical than custom-made stepped shafts.
- Improved Safety: Minimizes the physical risks associated with traditional mounting methods for large bearings.
