Product Overview: H 2334 Adapter Sleeve
The H 2334 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a 170 mm tapered bore onto a 160 mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our Adapter Sleeves collection, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for locating bearings on plain shafts without the need for shoulders or other special machining. This sleeve is part of the versatile H 2300 Series and is supplied complete with the corresponding lock nut (KM 34) and lock washer (MB 34) to ensure a secure and durable assembly.
Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft seating. Their split design and tapered outer surface allow for easy installation and dismounting, making them essential for a wide range of industrial applications. By tightening the lock nut, the sleeve is driven into the bearing bore, creating a strong interference fit that firmly secures the bearing in its designated position.
Key Features of the H 2334 Sleeve
- Simplified Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts easily.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a set with a precision lock nut and a secure lock washer for immediate installation.
- Secure Fit: Creates a robust interference fit between the bearing and the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring reliable operation.
- Versatile Positioning: Enables the bearing to be positioned at any point along a plain shaft, offering design flexibility.
- Easy Dismounting: The design simplifies the process of removing the bearing for maintenance or replacement, reducing downtime.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable steel to withstand operational stresses and ensure a long service life.
