How the OH-3096-H model number is decoded

the annular envelope between 480 mm bore and 560 mm OD is about 65,345 mm² in cross section, which sets the 75,000 g mass at steel density for the 237 mm-long slit bush the sleeve wall is 40 mm thick at the small end — 8.3% of the 480 mm bore — thin enough to contract evenly onto the 450 mm shaft while keeping the seat round under the clamping load the OD-to-bore ratio is 1.17: the 560 mm sleeve OD is only 40 mm of section beyond the 480 mm seat, leaving room for the bearing outer ring without enlarging the housing bore oil reaches the interface through the M 8 duct connection into distribution grooves, so the 75,000 g sleeve can be floated off the 450 mm shaft instead of being pressed or pulled the HM 3096 lock nut carries size index 3096, matching the bore-code family of the 480 mm seat; the nut engages the Tr 480x5 sleeve thread over its full width at 450 mm the 237 mm-wide seat and its HM 3096 nut are crane-handled components; injection pressure and drive-up distance are logged procedures rather than workshop judgement oil injection is mandatory rather than optional at the 450 mm shaft scale — the OH grooves and M 8 connection are what make the 237 mm taper removable without destroying the seat as part of the oil-injection OH 30 range for 230..K spherical roller bearings, this size keeps series-standard proportions: 237 mm width on a 480 mm bore, so the bearing lands at the catalogue axial position the catalogue row bundles the HM 3096 lock nut and the MS 30/500-96 locking clip and references the HMV 96E hydraulic nut for the 480 mm seat typical applications include printing press cylinder journals, industrial fan and blower impeller shafts and conveyor pulley and drum bearing seats adapter sleeves earn their place wherever a tapered-bore bearing must sit at any axial position on a plain shaft — here a 480 mm bore bearing on a 450 mm shaft in conveyor pulley and drum bearing seats the sleeve lets the designer use a plain, unstepped shaft and still locate the bearing positively; only one shoulder is needed, opposite the HM 3096 nut ordering digest — OH 3096 H: 450 mm plain shaft to 480 mm tapered bore, sleeve 560 mm OD and 237 mm wide, thread Tr 480x5, supplied with HM 3096 nut with MS 30/500-96 clip, drive-up tool HMV 96E; listed mass is 75,000 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• injection oil of the wrong viscosity either leaks past the thread flanks or stalls the pump before the separating film builds
• over-driving the taper eliminates bearing internal clearance entirely; clearance reduction must be measured with feeler gauges, not estimated from nut torque
• exceeding the maximum injection pressure for the 480 mm seat can permanently expand the thin sleeve wall
