Description
BGL HS3140 belongs to inch adapter sleeve, part of our Bushings and sleeves range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for HS3140 and any equivalents.
The BGL inch adapter sleeve mounts tapered-bore bearings on plain shafts, so no shoulder or special machining is needed. Each unit comes complete with sleeve, nut and lock washer or MS lock. BGL makes it from nodular cast iron that exceeds DIN 1563 GJS 500-7, and a carbon steel or stainless steel version is also offered. MR Industrial Accessories is an official distributor of BGL in the USA.
The HS code is a three- or four-digit reference that ties a shaft diameter to a bearing bore diameter. Codes such as HS2340, HS3040 and HS3140 cover different standardized inch sizes. The digits are not a direct metric measurement; they must be checked against the manufacturer's table to confirm the shaft diameter and bearing taper. Send the part number on WhatsApp and we will quote that exact sleeve.
These sleeves suit equipment where the bearing sits on a plain shaft and is adjusted axially against a shoulder or flange. Typical applications include gearboxes, conveyors, mills, pumps and agricultural machinery, particularly when imported tapered roller bearings are replaced. Mounting and dismounting without a hydraulic press is a practical benefit in food, cement, mining and material handling operations.
When selecting a sleeve, confirm three points: shaft diameter (maximum tolerance h10), the diameter of the bearing's tapered bore, and the lock type, either nut with lock washer or MS lock. Thread the sleeve onto the shaft, fit the bearing and tighten the nut with the correct wrench until the recommended internal clearance is reached. Lubricate the taper and thread beforehand to ease sliding and avoid damage, and align the assembly so the load is distributed evenly.
Inch adapter sleeves interchange between brands that follow the same dimensional standard. If you have a part number from another maker, we cross-reference it to the HS series and give you the compatible reference, or we can quote from your shaft and bearing dimensions. Interchangeability holds only when the thread, taper diameter and lock type match.
To request a quote for your BGL inch adapter sleeve, send the HS part number or the shaft and bearing measurements by WhatsApp or email. Our team replies promptly with the reference you need and can suggest equivalents or help you choose. If a variant is not listed, contact us with the model and we will quote it.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the BGL inch adapter sleeve include?
- It is supplied complete with sleeve, nut and lock washer or MS lock, so the parts do not have to be purchased separately. If you need only one component, ask us on WhatsApp and we will quote it.
- Does it work for any tapered-bore bearing?
- The sleeve must match the shaft diameter and the bearing taper. The HS series covers standardized inch sizes. Send the bearing part number and the shaft diameter so we can indicate the exact reference.
- What material is the BGL sleeve made of?
- BGL nodular cast iron is superior to DIN 1563 GJS 500-7 (formerly GGG50). A carbon steel or stainless steel option is also available depending on the application. Ask us on WhatsApp if you need a specific version.
