The key elements of adapter sleeves include the tapered adapter bush,
locknut, lock washer or retainer. Adapter sleeves feature axially slotted
sleeves with cylindrical bores, a tapered outside surface, and male screw
threads at the narrow ends used with locknuts and lock washers for the
mounting of bearings with tapered bores on cylindrical outside surfaces of
shafts. Adapter Sleeves are also called Pull-type sleeves.

Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for placing
bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seat as they can be used on
smooth or stepped shafts. They are easy to mount and require no additional
location on the shaft. When adapter sleeves are used on smooth shafts, the
bearing can be located at any position on the shaft. When used on stepped
shafts, together with an abutment ring, bearings can be accurately
positioned axially, and the bearing dismounting will be facilitated.

Application:

Used for fixing conical self-aligning bearings (self-aligning ball bearings, self-
aligning roller bearings) on a shaft without a shoulder, creating a simple
structure with practical use in the following:
- Transmission, gearboxes, wheel hubs
- Cranes, elevators and lifting equipment
- Agricultural machinery, pumps, mining equipment
- Rail and transportation mechanisms
- General engineering applications
- Marine and shipping machinery
