Product Overview: The HE 206 Adapter Sleeve
The HE 206 Adapter Sleeve is an essential component designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 25mm diameter. As part of our extensive range of Adapter Sleeves, the HE 206 provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securely locating bearings. This sleeve is a popular choice in the HE 200 Series and is supplied as a complete set, including the appropriate KM 06 lock nut and MB 06 lock washer, ensuring you have all the necessary parts for a secure installation.
Adapter sleeves allow bearings to be fitted on smooth or stepped shafts, simplifying the arrangement and reducing machining costs. The HE 206 is engineered to provide a tight, concentric grip, ensuring precise positioning of the bearing and preventing movement during operation. This makes it an indispensable accessory in a wide variety of industrial and mechanical applications. It is commonly used with bearings such as the UK 206.
Key Features of the HE 206
- Complete Mounting Solution: Supplied as a kit with a lock nut and locking washer for a convenient and secure installation.
- Facilitates Easy Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be mounted on cylindrical shafts without the need for a shoulder or stop.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure a tight, reliable fit and optimal bearing performance.
- Slit Design: The sleeve is slit, allowing it to be compressed around the shaft for a firm grip when the lock nut is tightened.
- Versatile Shaft Compatibility: Can be used on both plain (smooth) and stepped shafts, offering design flexibility.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality steel to withstand operational stresses and ensure long service life.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Used to mount bearings on conveyor rollers and drive shafts, ensuring reliable operation.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting for fan shaft bearings, accommodating various operational loads.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as harvesters, balers, and tillers where robust bearing mounting is critical.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Ensures precise alignment and secure positioning of bearings in power transmission systems.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Suitable for heavy-duty applications where machinery is subject to vibration and shock loads.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Used to mount bearings on rollers and shafts, maintaining the precision required in these processes.
Benefits of Using the HE 206 Adapter Sleeve
- Simplified Installation: Makes the process of mounting and dismounting bearings quicker and easier, reducing downtime.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive shaft machining (shoulders, keyways), lowering overall production costs.
- Improved Bearing Life: A secure and accurate fit minimizes vibration and fretting corrosion, extending the service life of the bearing.
- Accommodates Shaft Tolerances: The sleeve can accommodate slightly wider tolerances in shaft diameter compared to direct-fit bearings.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a strong, concentric grip that prevents the bearing's inner ring from spinning on the shaft.
- Global Standard: Manufactured to internationally recognized standards, ensuring interchangeability and consistent quality.
