How the H-3032-E model number is decoded
a width-to-bore ratio of 0.58 gives a 93 mm tapered contact length; the longitudinal slit lets the sleeve close down radially, so the grip on the 140 mm shaft is purely frictional the annular envelope between 160 mm bore and 210 mm OD is about 14,530 mm² in cross section, which sets the 5,100 g mass at steel density for the 93 mm-long slit bush this sleeve mounts a bearing with a 160 mm tapered bore onto a plain 140 mm shaft; the 210 mm outside diameter and 93 mm width define the tapered seat the bearing is driven onto mass 5,100 g is 31.9 g per mm of bore; the sleeve with its KMFE 32 nut forms the complete 93 mm-wide mounting assembly the 20 mm difference between the 140 mm shaft and the 160 mm nominal seat diameter is bridged by taper contraction as the slit sleeve closes during drive-up, rather than by machining the shaft the 140 mm tier marks the point where the KMFE 32 nut alone cannot generate the required axial force, so the HMV 32 E becomes part of the standard procedure the E-suffix sleeve is paired with the KMFE 32 nut — its integral locking screw clamps the nut to the thread, a cleaner solution than a bent washer tab where the 160 mm seat is remounted often the H30 block is one of the ISO 2982-1 dimension plans; at this seat it means a 210 mm sleeve OD and the M 160x3 thread shared with the adjacent bore steps the catalogue row bundles the KMFE 32 lock nut and references the HMV 32 E hydraulic nut for the 160 mm seat typical applications include marine winch and deck machinery shafts, textile machine roller shafts and cement plant kiln and mill trunnion drives adapter sleeves earn their place wherever a tapered-bore bearing must sit at any axial position on a plain shaft — here a 160 mm bore bearing on a 140 mm shaft in cement plant kiln and mill trunnion drives the sleeve lets the designer use a plain, unstepped shaft and still locate the bearing positively; only one shoulder is needed, opposite the KMFE 32 nut ordering digest — H 3032 E: 140 mm plain shaft to 160 mm tapered bore, sleeve 210 mm OD and 93 mm wide, thread M 160x3, supplied with KMFE 32 self-locking nut, drive-up tool HMV 32 E; listed mass is 5,100 g
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- industrial fan and blower impeller shafts
- marine winch and deck machinery shafts
- pump shafts in water and process plants
- gearbox input and output shafts
Known failure patterns
- a fretted or corroded shaft seat cannot be rescued by a new sleeve — the thin wall conforms to the damage and clamping force collapses
- with no washer as a back-up, a slack locking screw is the only way the KMFE 32 nut can unwind — verify it after the first run
- the KMFE 32 self-locking nut must not be replaced with a standard KM nut, which has no integral device to grip the thread
- misaligning the slit with the load zone or belt-pull direction concentrates stress on the split; orient the slit away from the main load
- reusing a stretched locking washer tab invites fatigue failure; the bent tab snaps off and the nut backs off undetected
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- a fretted or corroded shaft seat cannot be rescued by a new sleeve — the thin wall conforms to the damage and clamping force collapses
- the KMFE 32 self-locking nut must not be replaced with a standard KM nut, which has no integral device to grip the thread
- mounting without a fixed abutment lets the bearing walk axially; the sleeve needs a shaft shoulder opposite the lock nut
Frequently asked questions
What shaft size does the H-3032-E adapter sleeve fit?
H 3032 E is listed for a 140 mm plain shaft; its tapered bore accepts 160 mm K-suffix bearings, the sleeve measures 210 mm OD and 93 mm wide.
What does the H 3032 E designation mean?
H 3032 E: H-series metric adapter sleeve in the H30 dimension plan; the code resolves to a 160 mm tapered bore and a 140 mm shaft.
What is supplied with the H-3032-E?
Supplied hardware is the KMFE 32 lock nut. Drive-up is done with the HMV 32 E hydraulic nut.
How much does the H-3032-E adapter sleeve weigh?
It weighs 5,100 g; the figure is the sleeve-only catalogue mass, with the KMFE 32 nut counted on the same product row but the hydraulic tool ordered separately.
How is the H-3032-E mounted on the shaft?
Slide the sleeve onto the 140 mm plain shaft against the abutment, fit the bearing, turn the KMFE 32 nut with a hook spanner until the measured clearance drop matches the table, and lock it via its integral screw.
