Sleeves and lock nuts

Adapter sleeves and lock nuts are essential components in bearing mounting and securing processes. They are widely used in industrial applications to simplify bearing installation and ensure stability in rotating systems. These components help in securing tapered bore bearings onto shafts, improving operational efficiency and reliability.

Translink adapter sleeves are conical-shaped sleeves used to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft. They facilitate easy installation and removal while ensuring a secure and precise fit. Adapter sleeves are typically made from high-strength steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments. Among other features, our adapter sleeves enable easy mounting and dismounting of tapered bore bearings, are suitable for use on both smooth and stepped shafts, provide excellent concentricity, reducing misalignment risks and include a slotted design with an oil groove for lubrication.

When it comes to Translink lock nuts, they are threaded fasteners used to secure bearings, adapter sleeves, and other components on shafts. They prevent loosening due to vibrations and rotational forces, ensuring operational stability. Lock nuts are typically made from hardened steel and feature various locking mechanisms for enhanced security.

Adapter sleeves and lock nuts are used in many industries and play a crucial role in securing bearings and improving machinery performance in demanding industrial environments.  You can find more information about our range of adapter sleeves and lock nuts in our catalogue.
