Product Overview: The H 214 Adapter Sleeve
The H 214 Adapter Sleeve is a crucial component for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft. Specifically designed for a 65mm shaft diameter, this sleeve facilitates the secure installation of bearings with a 70mm tapered bore, such as those in the 1214, 2214, or 22214 series. As part of our comprehensive H 200 Series, the H 214 is a complete mounting solution, typically supplied with a corresponding KM 14 lock nut and MB 14 lock washer.
This adapter sleeve simplifies the bearing mounting process by allowing the bearing to be positioned anywhere along a plain shaft, eliminating the need for complex and costly stepped shafts. Its precision-engineered slit and tapered design ensure a tight, concentric grip on the shaft when the lock nut is tightened, providing a stable and reliable foundation for rotating machinery.
