How the H-213 model number is decoded

a width-to-bore ratio of 0.62 gives a 40 mm tapered contact length; the longitudinal slit lets the sleeve close down radially, so the grip on the 60 mm shaft is purely frictional for controlled drive-up the catalogue pairs this seat with the HMV 13E hydraulic nut (size 13); at 360 g the sleeve and bearing together are too heavy to seat reliably with a hook spanner alone the KM 13 lock nut carries size index 13, matching the bore-code family of the 65 mm seat; the nut engages the M 65x2 sleeve thread over its full width mass 360 g is 5.5 g per mm of bore; the sleeve with its KM 13 nut and MB 13 washer forms the complete 40 mm-wide mounting assembly the 5 mm difference between the 60 mm shaft and the 65 mm nominal seat diameter is bridged by taper contraction as the slit sleeve closes during drive-up, rather than by machining the shaft the 60 mm size is the volume tier of the range; the KM 13 nut and its locking element suit routine field replacement without special tooling H 213 carries no hydraulic features — the slit sleeve, KM 13 nut and MB 13 washer do all the work mechanically, which keeps the kit simple for the 60 mm shaft size as part of the light-section H 2 range, commonly paired with 12..K self-aligning ball bearings, this size keeps series-standard proportions: 40 mm width on a 65 mm bore, so the bearing lands at the catalogue axial position the catalogue row bundles the KM 13 lock nut and the MB 13 locking washer and references the HMV 13E hydraulic nut for the 65 mm seat typical applications include electric motor and generator shafts, paper machine roll and cylinder journals and rolling mill and steel plant roll seats adapter sleeves earn their place wherever a tapered-bore bearing must sit at any axial position on a plain shaft — here a 65 mm bore bearing on a 60 mm shaft in rolling mill and steel plant roll seats the sleeve lets the designer use a plain, unstepped shaft and still locate the bearing positively; only one shoulder is needed, opposite the KM 13 nut full specification chain for H 213 reads 60 mm shaft / 65 mm seat / 85 mm OD / 40 mm width / M 65x2 / KM 13 nut with MB 13 washer, drive-up tool HMV 13E / 360 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• neglecting the catalogue axial displacement value leaves the bearing either loose on the taper or preloaded hot in service
• a plain KM nut used without its MB washer has no anti-rotation feature and will unthread under vibration
• driving the bearing via the outer ring during mounting loads the rolling elements; force is always applied through the lock nut on the inner ring
