How the H-3036-E model number is decoded

a width-to-bore ratio of 0.61 gives a 109 mm tapered contact length; the longitudinal slit lets the sleeve close down radially, so the grip on the 160 mm shaft is purely frictional this sleeve mounts a bearing with a 180 mm tapered bore onto a plain 160 mm shaft; the 230 mm outside diameter and 109 mm width define the tapered seat the bearing is driven onto mass 6,700 g is 37.2 g per mm of bore; the sleeve with its KMFE 36 nut forms the complete 109 mm-wide mounting assembly the 20 mm difference between the 160 mm shaft and the 180 mm nominal seat diameter is bridged by taper contraction as the slit sleeve closes during drive-up, rather than by machining the shaft the M 180x3 thread spans about 36.3 nut turns across the 109 mm width; each indexed turn is a measurable drive-up step when setting the bearing clearance on the 180 mm seat the 160 mm tier marks the point where the KMFE 36 nut alone cannot generate the required axial force, so the HMV 36 E becomes part of the standard procedure H 3036 E keeps the same 180x230x109 mm sleeve geometry as the plain H size; only the locking concept changes to the integrated device inside the KMFE 36 nut as part of the large-size H 30 range for 230..K spherical roller bearings, this size keeps series-standard proportions: 109 mm width on a 180 mm bore, so the bearing lands at the catalogue axial position the catalogue row bundles the KMFE 36 lock nut and references the HMV 36 E hydraulic nut for the 180 mm seat typical applications include electric motor and generator shafts, food processing line drive shafts 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 180 mm bore bearing on a 160 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 KMFE 36 nut kit identity for this seat: sleeve H 3036 E for a 160 mm shaft, 180x230x109 mm taper, M 180x3 thread, KMFE 36 self-locking nut, drive-up tool HMV 36 E, catalogue mass 6,700 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• mounting without a fixed abutment lets the bearing walk axially; the sleeve needs a shaft shoulder opposite the lock nut
• the integral locking screw must be set to the catalogue torque; over-setting galls the M 180x3 thread and makes removal difficult
• interchanging nut families (KM vs KMFE, MB vs MS) across executions loses locking reliability even when the thread appears to fit
