How the H-316-E model number is decoded

the 10 mm difference between the 70 mm shaft and the 80 mm nominal seat diameter is bridged by taper contraction as the slit sleeve closes during drive-up, rather than by machining the shaft the seat taper is 1:12, so each millimetre of axial drive-up removes about 1/12 mm of radial clearance; one turn of the KMFE 16 nut on the M 80x2 thread advances 2 mm and takes out roughly 0.167 mm of clearance mass 1,000 g is 12.5 g per mm of bore; the sleeve with its KMFE 16 nut forms the complete 59 mm-wide mounting assembly the M 80x2 thread spans about 29.5 nut turns across the 59 mm width; each indexed turn is a measurable drive-up step when setting the bearing clearance on the 80 mm seat the annular envelope between 80 mm bore and 105 mm OD is about 3,632 mm² in cross section, which sets the 1,000 g mass at steel density for the 59 mm-long slit bush at 70 mm shaft the sleeve suits mid-size machinery — conveyor pulleys, industrial fans and gearbox output shafts carrying 80 mm bore bearings reading H 316 E: the trailing E means the sleeve ships with a KMFE 16 lock nut whose built-in locking element replaces the MB washer, cutting one part from the bill of materials the H3 designation block places it in the medium-section H 3 range, the default seat for 13..K and 22..K self-aligning ball bearings and 222..K spherical roller bearings — every sleeve in the block uses the same bore-code logic, and here the 80 mm tapered bore matches the K-suffix bearing it is ordered for hardware on this row: the KMFE 16 lock nut; SKF lists the HMV 16 E hydraulic nut for mounting and dismounting typical applications include industrial fan and blower impeller shafts, electric motor and generator shafts and pump shafts in water and process plants adapter sleeves earn their place wherever a tapered-bore bearing must sit at any axial position on a plain shaft — here a 80 mm bore bearing on a 70 mm shaft in pump shafts in water and process plants the sleeve lets the designer use a plain, unstepped shaft and still locate the bearing positively; only one shoulder is needed, opposite the KMFE 16 nut ordering digest — H 316 E: 70 mm plain shaft to 80 mm tapered bore, sleeve 105 mm OD and 59 mm wide, thread M 80x2, supplied with KMFE 16 self-locking nut, drive-up tool HMV 16 E; listed mass is 1,000 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• greasing the tapered seat or shaft destroys the dry friction the joint relies on; a lubricated taper can let the whole sleeve spin under load
• 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
• mounting without a fixed abutment lets the bearing walk axially; the sleeve needs a shaft shoulder opposite the lock nut
