Product Overview: The H 3960 Adapter Sleeve
The H 3960 is a high-performance adapter sleeve designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. As a key component in our H 3900 Series of Adapter Sleeves, it provides a reliable and cost-effective method for locating bearings on smooth or stepped shafts. This sleeve is specifically engineered for a 300mm shaft diameter, allowing for easy installation and removal without the need for complex shaft machining. Its split design and accompanying lock nut and washer (sold separately) ensure a tight, concentric grip, facilitating precise bearing positioning and secure operation in demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured from high-quality steel, the H 3960 adapter sleeve guarantees durability and consistent performance. It is an essential accessory for a wide range of heavy-duty machinery, enabling simplified maintenance and extending the operational life of both the bearing and the shaft.
