How the H-3136 model number is decoded

the sleeve wall is 25 mm thick at the small end — 13.9% of the 180 mm bore — thin enough to contract evenly onto the 160 mm shaft while keeping the seat round under the clamping load 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 a width-to-bore ratio of 0.73 gives a 131 mm tapered contact length; the longitudinal slit lets the sleeve close down radially, so the grip on the 160 mm shaft is purely frictional mass 9,150 g is 50.8 g per mm of bore; the sleeve with its KM 36 nut and MB 36 washer forms the complete 131 mm-wide mounting assembly the M 180x3 thread spans about 43.7 nut turns across the 131 mm width; each indexed turn is a measurable drive-up step when setting the bearing clearance on the 180 mm seat with a 160 mm shaft this sleeve serves heavy machinery seats; the plain-shaft design saves the considerable machining cost of a stepped shaft at this diameter H 3136 is the classic nut-and-washer sleeve — the KM 36 nut drives the bearing up the taper and the MB 36 washer, keyed to the sleeve thread, locks the nut once a tab is bent into place as part of the large-size H 31 range for 231..K spherical roller bearings, this size keeps series-standard proportions: 131 mm width on a 180 mm bore, so the bearing lands at the catalogue axial position the KM 36 lock nut and the MB 36 locking washer ship in the kit; controlled drive-up uses the HMV 36 E hydraulic nut rather than a spanner typical applications include woodworking saw and planer spindles, conveyor pulley and drum bearing seats and marine winch and deck machinery shafts 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 marine winch and deck machinery shafts the sleeve lets the designer use a plain, unstepped shaft and still locate the bearing positively; only one shoulder is needed, opposite the KM 36 nut full specification chain for H 3136 reads 160 mm shaft / 180 mm seat / 230 mm OD / 131 mm width / M 180x3 / KM 36 nut with MB 36 washer, drive-up tool HMV 36 E / 9,150 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• interchanging nut families (KM vs KMFE, MB vs MS) across executions loses locking reliability even when the thread appears to fit
• mounting without a fixed abutment lets the bearing walk axially; the sleeve needs a shaft shoulder opposite the lock nut
• hammering the sleeve directly instead of driving through the nut damages the 131 mm slit edge
