Product Overview: The H 305 Adapter Sleeve
The H 305 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed for securely mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft. Specifically, this sleeve is used to mount a bearing with a 25mm bore onto a 20mm diameter shaft. As a crucial component in our Bearing Accessories range, the H 305 is part of the versatile H 300 Series and comes complete with the necessary lock nut and lock washer, providing a full mounting solution. This assembly simplifies machine design by eliminating the need for shaft shoulders or special machining.
Adapter sleeves like the H 305 facilitate easy installation and dismounting of bearings, making them a cost-effective and efficient choice for a wide array of industrial applications. Manufactured to precise standards, they ensure a tight, reliable fit, which enhances the operational stability and lifespan of the entire bearing arrangement.

Key Features of the H 305 Adapter Sleeve
- Complete Mounting Kit: Supplied as a set including the slotted sleeve, a corresponding lock nut (KM 05), and a lock washer (MB 05).
- Simplified Installation: Allows for the mounting of tapered bore bearings on smooth or stepped cylindrical shafts with ease.
- Precise Fit: Manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure a secure grip on the shaft and proper alignment of the bearing.
- Cost-Effective Design: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft machining, such as creating steps or shoulders, and allows for wider shaft tolerances.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a broad range of bearings, including self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings with a 1:12 taper.
- Facilitates Maintenance: The design allows for straightforward dismounting of the bearing for inspection, maintenance, or replacement.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on long conveyor shafts where precise machining is impractical.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings in ventilation and air-handling units.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as harvesters, combines, and bailers where robust and simple bearing arrangements are required.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Ensures reliable bearing performance on shafts within various fluid handling and power transmission systems.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands heavy loads and harsh environments, securing bearings in crushers, screens, and mixers.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Enables precise and stable mounting of roller bearings for consistent operation.
Benefits of Using the H 305 Sleeve
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, concentric grip that prevents the bearing's inner ring from spinning on the shaft.
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The simple installation and removal process significantly cuts down on equipment downtime.
- Increased Bearing Life: Ensures correct mounting and alignment, reducing stress on the bearing and extending its service life.
- Design Flexibility: Allows bearings to be positioned at any point along a plain shaft without the need for locating shoulders.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: A secure fit minimizes vibration and friction, contributing to smoother and more efficient machinery performance.
- Lower Overall Costs: By simplifying shaft design and maintenance procedures, the H 305 helps reduce both initial manufacturing and long-term operational expenses.
