Adapter sleeves for tapered bore bearings What it does Adapter sleeves locate bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seat. They support use on plain shafts and stepped shafts. Why you need it Quick installation with no extra shaft locating components required Flexible bearing placement on plain shafts Precise axial positioning on stepped shafts when using an Lshaped spacer ring Simplified bearing mounting and dismounting in service operations Compatibility and positioning Plain shafts: bearing can be located at any position along the shaft Stepped shafts: with an Lshaped spacer ring, achieve accurate axial positioning for reliable mounting and easy dismounting Key attributes Function: locate bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seat Compatibility: suitable for plain shafts and stepped shafts Accessory use: when locating on stepped shafts, works with an Lshaped spacer ring to axial position the bearing Use scenarios Scenario 1: Reconfiguring machinery with a plain shaft layout where the bearing position needs to be adjusted without redesigning the shaft Scenario 2: Assembling equipment with stepped shafts that require precise axial bearing alignment; use the adapter sleeve with an Lshaped spacer ring to set the exact position and ease future disassembly Scenario 3: Maintenance tasks that benefit from straightforward mounting and dismounting of bearings located on a tapered bore, reducing downtime and alignment issues
