Reliable Bearing Fixing for Plain Shaft Installations

These sleeves enable dependable bearing fixing on plain shafts within industrial power transmission systems. In many mechanical assemblies, shafts are manufactured without shoulders or precision steps, creating challenges during bearing installation. Timken Adaptor Sleeves resolve this by allowing tapered bore bearings to seat accurately on cylindrical shafts, supporting secure positioning within conveyors, fans, pumps & general industrial equipment.

Across different operating environments, shaft tolerances, load conditions & alignment requirements can vary significantly. This collection of Timken Adaptor Sleeves is designed to accommodate those variations by delivering consistent clamping force, even load distribution & controlled axial positioning once tightened.

Accurate installation becomes more efficient when components are staged within Small Parts Organisers, preparation tasks are completed on Workbenches, shaft straightness is confirmed using Straight Edges, dimensional verification is performed with Calipers & handling safety is supported through Impact-Resistant Gloves.
