Product Overview: The AHX 2312 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2312 is a high-precision withdrawal sleeve, an essential component for mounting and dismounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft. Designed for a 60mm shaft diameter, this sleeve is part of our extensive range of Sleeves and accessories. It is specifically engineered to work with bearings from series such as 2313, 1313, and 22313, facilitating a secure fit and simplifying the maintenance process. Withdrawal sleeves are pushed into the bearing bore, which is seated against a shaft shoulder or similar fixed component. The bearing is then driven up the sleeve's taper until the required reduction in radial internal clearance is achieved, after which it is secured in place with a lock nut and locking device.
As a key component in many industrial assemblies, the AHX 2312 withdrawal sleeve, belonging to the AHX 2300 Series, ensures that bearings can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement without damaging the bearing or the shaft. This method of mounting is highly reliable and widely used across various heavy-duty applications. Explore our complete collection of Withdrawal Sleeves to find the right solution for your machinery.
Features of the AHX 2312 Sleeve
- Precision Machined: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure a perfect fit on a 60mm shaft and with compatible bearings.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from durable steel to withstand high mounting forces and provide long-term reliability.
- Facilitates Easy Dismounting: The primary function is to allow for the easy withdrawal of a bearing from its seating.
- Slotted Design: Features a full-length slot that allows it to contract slightly for a secure grip on the shaft.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to ISO standards, ensuring interchangeability and compatibility.
- Simplifies Shaft Design: Allows for the use of straight cylindrical shafts, which are less expensive to manufacture than stepped shafts.
Applications of AHX 2312 Sleeves
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used to mount bearings on shafts, allowing for easier assembly and disassembly.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential for securing bearings in conveyor pulleys and rollers, simplifying maintenance routines.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Widely used in machinery like crushers, vibrating screens, and mills where components are subject to heavy loads and frequent maintenance.
- Fans and Blowers: Provides a reliable mounting solution for bearings in large industrial fans where shaft integrity is critical.
- Pulp and Paper Machinery: Used in rollers and presses that require robust bearing arrangements and periodic servicing.
- Agricultural Equipment: Applied in harvesters and other large machinery for mounting bearings on transmission shafts.
Benefits of Using the AHX 2312 Sleeve
- Reduced Maintenance Time: Significantly simplifies the process of dismounting bearings, minimizing equipment downtime.
- Cost-Effective Shafting: Enables the use of commercially available straight shafts, reducing the cost and complexity of machining stepped shafts.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a secure and concentric fit, ensuring optimal bearing performance and longevity.
- Prevents Shaft Damage: Dismounting is achieved by tightening a lock nut against the bearing's inner ring, preventing damage to the shaft surface that can occur with other methods.
- Versatile Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be located at any position on a smooth cylindrical shaft.
- Improved Assembly Accuracy: The fit can be precisely controlled by adjusting the axial drive-up of the bearing onto the sleeve.
