How the OH-3196-H model number is decoded

this sleeve mounts a bearing with a 480 mm tapered bore onto a plain 450 mm shaft; the 620 mm outside diameter and 335 mm width define the tapered seat the bearing is driven onto the OD-to-bore ratio is 1.29: the 620 mm sleeve OD is only 70 mm of section beyond the 480 mm seat, leaving room for the bearing outer ring without enlarging the housing bore 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 HM 3196 nut on the Tr 480x5 thread advances 5 mm and takes out roughly 0.417 mm of clearance the sleeve wall is 70 mm thick at the small end — 14.6% of the 480 mm bore — thin enough to contract evenly onto the 450 mm shaft while keeping the seat round under the clamping load a width-to-bore ratio of 0.70 gives a 335 mm tapered contact length; the longitudinal slit lets the sleeve close down radially, so the grip on the 450 mm shaft is purely frictional at 450 mm shaft diameter this sleeve sits in the extra-large band served by oil-injection execution: pressurised oil between the mating surfaces is the only practical way to mount and dismount at this size with OH 3196 H mounting is a hydraulic operation: connect the pump to the M 8 duct, inject oil between the mating surfaces, drive home with the HMV 96E nut, then lock with HM 3196 within the oil-injection OH 31 range for 231..K spherical roller bearings this is the 450 mm shaft step; neighbouring steps keep the same hardware concept while the taper seat grows to 480x620 mm here the delivery includes the HM 3196 lock nut and the MS 3196 locking clip, and the HMV 96E hydraulic nut is the associated drive-up tool typical applications include agricultural machinery axle and PTO shafts, quarry conveyor head and tail drums 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 480 mm bore bearing on a 450 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 HM 3196 nut full specification chain for OH 3196 H reads 450 mm shaft / 480 mm seat / 620 mm OD / 335 mm width / Tr 480x5 / HM 3196 nut with MS 3196 clip, drive-up tool HMV 96E / 135,000 g

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• the shaft must be within h9 tolerance and free of scoring; an oversize or rough shaft stops the slit sleeve closing down and leaves the grip to the thread alone
• exceeding the maximum injection pressure for the 480 mm seat can permanently expand the thin sleeve wall
• neglecting the catalogue axial displacement value leaves the bearing either loose on the taper or preloaded hot in service
