Adapter Sleeve

An Adapter Sleeve assembly consists of the Sleeve, a Lock Nut and a Lock Washer, because the Lock Nut is needed first to drive the bearing up the tapered sleeve, and then to lock it in position with the help of the Lock Nut.

Description

Using either an Adapter Sleeve assembly or a Withdrawal Sleeve, a roller bearing with a tapered bore is mounted on a straight shaft. In the axial placement of the bearing on the shaft, mounting a bearing on a sleeve also provides maximum flexibility and can handle light positional thrust loads.
