For shaft fits that are tight enough to make mechanical disassembly a problem, the BGL OHS HL hydraulic adapter sleeve provides a practical answer. Oil is pushed through internal and external channels, so the sleeve can be mounted and, more importantly, released with far less effort. It is aimed at medium and large shafts starting at 140 mm. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to customers across the United States and Latin America.

Reading the part number is straightforward once you know the pattern. OHS identifies the hydraulic sleeve family. The digits that follow give the diameter and width in millimeters. The final letters describe where the oil channel sits: HL means the channel is on the outer side, while H alone means the internal channel. You can see the pattern in OHS2340HL, OHS3134HL and OHS3138HL, where only the size changes and the channel type stays HL. Ordering by the complete designation avoids confusion.

These sleeves tend to be specified where taking the assembly apart matters as much as putting it together: presses, rolling mills, grinding mills, heavy gearboxes, paper machines and mining equipment. Injecting oil lowers the chance of scoring the shaft or the bushing when the fit has to be broken, which is a real concern on large-diameter shafts with heavy interference.

When selecting a sleeve, confirm three things: shaft diameter, bushing width and channel type, either external HL or internal H. Installation calls for clean mating surfaces, oil introduced through the channels and a controlled pressure sequence. A low-viscosity lubricant and proper alignment of the components are what make the method work. On assemblies that see high loads, check that the interference is suitable for the duty.

Interchangeability between hydraulic sleeves is based on size and channel type, not on the brand stamped on the part. If you only have a number from another supplier, or a part that cannot be identified, send it over and we will point you to the compatible alternative. The BGL OHS HL range covers the common sizes for shafts from 140 mm, and a drawing or the exact designation is usually enough to resolve the inquiry.
