The BGL HE…TLTL adapter sleeve mounts tapered bore bearings onto plain shafts without a shoulder or special machining. It comes complete with the sleeve, lock nut and lock washer or MS lock. The material is BGL nodular cast iron, with carbon steel or stainless steel available as an option. It provides a practical fixing method for bearings in transmissions and rotating equipment.

The HE…TLTL code identifies this BGL adapter sleeve series. HE designates sleeves for tapered bore bearings; the number that follows corresponds to the shaft diameter. The TLTL suffix indicates a construction variant within the series. Examples such as HE3160TLTL, HE3164TLTL, HE3168TLTL and HE3172TLTL show how the number changes with size. When selecting a sleeve, consider both the shaft diameter and the bearing to be mounted.

These sleeves appear in many industrial settings: belt and chain drives, gearboxes, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and process equipment. They are common in food, cement, steel and paper plants, as well as in mining, agricultural machinery and material handling equipment. Their role is to secure the bearing on the shaft, allowing mounting and dismounting without damaging the seat.

To choose the correct sleeve, verify that the shaft diameter matches the designation and that the bearing bore is tapered. Shaft tolerance must be h10 maximum for a proper fit. Mounting involves inserting the sleeve into the bearing and tightening the nut with the lock washer or MS lock, creating the interference fit. Lubricate the threads and contact surfaces before tightening, and check assembly alignment to avoid parasitic loads.

Adapter sleeves follow standards and designations that can differ between manufacturers. For a replacement from another brand, compare the main dimensions: shaft diameter, sleeve outside diameter and width. With that data, MR Industrial Accessories can identify the compatible BGL alternative or the best fit for your equipment. Always check the thread and nut pitch to confirm interchangeability.

If you have the part number—whether HE3160TLTL, HE3164TLTL, HE3168TLTL, HE3172TLTL or another variant—send it via WhatsApp or email. MR Industrial Accessories quotes promptly and provides guidance for correct mounting. We can also assist if you only have the shaft measurement or an unidentified part.
