The SKF SNW series inch adapter sleeve secures bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. It provides a reliable, adjustable fit in power transmission, pump and general industrial equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to customers across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code is straightforward. The letters SNW identify an SKF inch adapter sleeve; the first number gives the shaft size in whole inches, and the fraction after the X gives the additional fraction. For instance, SNW 10X1.11/16 fits a shaft of 1 inch and 11/16, and SNW 13X2.3/16 fits 2 inches and 3/16. This makes size selection unambiguous.
These sleeves appear in food processing, petrochemical, mining and metallurgical plants, as well as in centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors and other transmission equipment where bearings must be mounted on shafts that are not machined for a direct fit. The design simplifies adjustment and removal, which helps keep maintenance time down.
Choosing the right sleeve means checking the shaft diameter and the bearing that will be mounted. The sleeve slides onto the shaft, the bearing goes over its tapered surface, and a lock nut holds everything in place; tighten the nut with the correct wrench. Lubricate the threads and contact surfaces before assembly, and check alignment to prevent unnecessary axial loads. Sealing depends on the operating environment.
SKF SNW sleeves can be used in place of other brands that follow the same inch standard, such as Timken or NSK, provided the dimensions match. Tolerances and materials can differ between manufacturers, so verify these details before substituting. MR Industrial Accessories LLC can help you confirm the correct option for your application.
