How the H-3132-E model number is decoded

this sleeve mounts a bearing with a 160 mm tapered bore onto a plain 140 mm shaft; the 210 mm outside diameter and 119 mm width define the tapered seat the bearing is driven onto the OD-to-bore ratio is 1.31: the 210 mm sleeve OD is only 25 mm of section beyond the 160 mm seat, leaving room for the bearing outer ring without enlarging the housing bore for controlled drive-up the catalogue pairs this seat with the HMV 32 E hydraulic nut (size 32); at 7,350 g the sleeve and bearing together are too heavy to seat reliably with a hook spanner alone 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 32 nut on the M 160x3 thread advances 3 mm and takes out roughly 0.25 mm of clearance the sleeve wall is 25 mm thick at the small end — 15.6% of the 160 mm bore — thin enough to contract evenly onto the 140 mm shaft while keeping the seat round under the clamping load the 140 mm shaft diameter puts this at the heavy end of the metric range, where the catalogue recommends the HMV 32 E hydraulic nut to reach drive-up without damaging the thread with H 3132 E the locking device lives inside the KMFE 32 nut itself: a friction screw engages the M 160x3 thread, so the outer washer and its bent tab disappear from the assembly within the large-size H 31 range for 231..K spherical roller bearings this is the 140 mm shaft step; neighbouring steps keep the same hardware concept while the taper seat grows to 160x210 mm here the delivery includes the KMFE 32 lock nut, and the HMV 32 E hydraulic nut is the associated drive-up tool typical applications include agricultural machinery axle and PTO shafts, pump shafts in water and process plants and paper machine roll and cylinder journals 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 paper machine roll and cylinder journals 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 full specification chain for H 3132 E reads 140 mm shaft / 160 mm seat / 210 mm OD / 119 mm width / M 160x3 / KMFE 32 self-locking nut, drive-up tool HMV 32 E / 7,350 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
• the KMFE 32 self-locking nut must not be replaced with a standard KM nut, which has no integral device to grip the thread
• neglecting the catalogue axial displacement value leaves the bearing either loose on the taper or preloaded hot in service
