Product Overview: The HE 208 Adapter Sleeve
The HE 208 is a high-quality adapter sleeve designed to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a 35mm cylindrical shaft. As a key component in our HE 200 Series and broader Adapter Sleeves collection, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for securely locating bearings. This assembly, which includes a lock nut and a lock washer, simplifies installation and removal, ensuring a tight fit and accurate positioning without the need for special shaft machining. This makes it an essential accessory for a wide range of industrial power transmission applications.
Our HE 208 sleeves are manufactured to precise standards, ensuring compatibility with various bearing types, such as self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings. By using an adapter sleeve, machinery can be assembled and maintained more efficiently, reducing downtime and extending the operational life of both the bearing and the shaft.
Key Features of the HE 208
- Shaft Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with 35mm diameter cylindrical shafts.
- Complete Assembly: Supplied as a complete set with a corresponding lock nut and lock washer for a secure installation.
- Simplified Mounting: Allows for easy mounting of tapered bore bearings on plain or stepped shafts.
- Slotted Design: The sleeve is slit, allowing it to be effectively tightened onto the shaft for a firm grip.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure proper fit and reliable performance.
- Durable Material: Constructed from high-strength steel to withstand operational stresses and ensure longevity.
Common Applications
- Industrial Fans & Blowers: Used to mount bearings in fan assemblies, providing stable and secure rotation.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential for securing bearings on rollers and pulleys in material handling equipment.
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, planters, and other farm equipment for reliable bearing mounting.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Provides a secure fit for bearings on shafts in various pump and gearbox designs.
- Mining and Construction: Suitable for heavy-duty equipment where reliable bearing performance is critical.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures precise and stable operation of rollers and rotating components.
Benefits of Using the HE 208 Adapter Sleeve
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive precision machining on shafts, allowing for the use of commercial-grade shafts.
- Ease of Installation: Simplifies the bearing mounting process, saving time and labor during assembly.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure, 360-degree grip on the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring the bearing stays in place.
- Improved Maintenance: Facilitates easy dismounting of bearings for inspection, maintenance, or replacement.
- Versatility: Allows a single bearing size to be used on shafts of different diameters by simply changing the sleeve.
- Extended Component Life: Reduces wear on the shaft by providing a replaceable surface for the bearing to sit on.
