When you need a way to fix tapered-bore bearings onto plain and stepped shafts, reach for this adapter sleeve from SKF. It has a 1:12 taper to comfortably seat a bearing without slippage. As you drive it up the sleeve, it reduces the internal clearance so, you can tweak the level of interference to suit your application. This versatile adapter can be positioned anywhere along the shaft and it comes with a nut and washer to keep it reliably locked in place.

• Light weight of 0.31kg to minimise extra stress on shafts
• Phosphating on the surface boosts resistance to corrosion and wear
• Slit on the sleeve gives you greater flexibility when mounting

• Paper mills
• Mineral processing
• Agricultural machinery
• Chemical manufacturing

Yes. The locknut has four grooves around the edge so you can get a grip when tightening it with a hook spanner.

You can use a feeler gauge (124-8456) to check the internal clearance of your bearing.
