The BGL inch adapter sleeve lets you mount a tapered bore bearing on a plain cylindrical shaft, so you do not need a shoulder or extra machining. Each unit comes complete with the sleeve, lock nut and lock washer or MS lock, ready to install. It is a straightforward way to adapt a cylindrical seat to a tapered one and set the bearing with the right interference.

The part number tells you what you are holding. Designations begin with HE, followed by digits that map to the shaft diameter and the bearing the sleeve fits. Large sizes include HE31/500 and HE31/600. Intermediate sizes cover HE2340, HE2344, HE2348 and HE2352, while HE3040 belongs to another diameter series. Because the code is tied to the shaft and bearing, you can identify the part without measuring.

These sleeves are common in equipment where tapered bearings sit on solid shafts: conveyors, mills, mixers, centrifugal pumps, fans and process machinery. They also show up in gearboxes and transmissions that need secure, removable mounting. Since no shaft shoulder is required, turning is simpler and you can adjust the axial position of the bearing during repair work.

To choose the right sleeve, start with the shaft diameter and the tapered bore of the bearing. The shaft tolerance should be h10 maximum for a proper fit. Thread the sleeve onto the shaft, place the bearing, then tighten the nut with the lock washer or MS lock. Lubricating the thread and seat helps assembly and prevents damage. After tightening, check alignment and clearance.

The standard material is BGL nodular cast iron, with properties superior to DIN 1563 GJS 500-7 (formerly GGG50). Carbon steel or stainless steel are available as options for corrosive environments or more demanding loads. When replacing a sleeve, compare the main dimensions and the lock type. If you have a part number from another brand or an unidentified part, send it to us and we will point you to the compatible equivalent.
