Adapter Sleeve in Inches

The inch adapter sleeve is a component that allows mounting bearings with a tapered bore on cylindrical shafts. It is selected according to the shaft diameter, the bearing to be mounted, and the available locking system. The SKF SNW series is identified by its inch dimensions and is used with lock nuts and lock washers to secure the bearing in position.

The SNW designation corresponds to SKF's inch adapter sleeves. The example part number SNW 24X4.3/16 indicates the size and the shaft dimension in inches. These sleeves are combined with tapered bore bearings and are secured by means of a lock nut and a lock washer, which prevent loosening during operation.

Typical applications include drives, pumps, industrial equipment, and general machinery where a secure and adjustable mounting is required. Because they are in inches, they are used on equipment with shafts dimensioned in that system, common in certain industries and imported equipment.
