Product Overview: The AHX 2313 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2313 is a precision-engineered withdrawal sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. As an essential component in our Withdrawal Sleeves collection, this sleeve simplifies the process of securing bearings while also making dismounting straightforward and damage-free. It is specifically designed for a 65 mm bearing bore on a 60 mm shaft. The sleeve is part of the AHX 2300 Series, which is known for its reliability and adherence to strict manufacturing standards, ensuring a secure fit and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Withdrawal sleeves are pulled into the bearing bore using a lock nut, which presses the bearing up the tapered seat of the sleeve until the required reduction in internal clearance is achieved. This method ensures a tight, concentric grip on the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion and simplifying assembly. The primary advantage of a withdrawal sleeve is that it facilitates easy removal of the bearing from the shaft, significantly reducing maintenance time and preventing damage to both the bearing and the shaft.
Key Features of the AHX 2313
- Precision Machining: Guarantees accurate dimensions for a perfect fit between the bearing, sleeve, and shaft.
- High-Strength Material: Manufactured from durable, high-quality steel to withstand high mounting and operational forces.
- Simplified Dismounting: Specifically designed to make the removal of bearings from their seating quick and easy, minimizing downtime.
- Concentric Fit: Ensures the bearing is securely and concentrically located on the shaft for optimal performance.
- Cost-Effective Mounting: Allows bearings with a tapered bore to be used on less expensive, straight cylindrical shafts without shoulders or locating features.
- Corrosion Resistance: Treated surfaces to resist rust and corrosion, extending the product's lifespan.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used for mounting gears and bearings onto shafts, allowing for easier maintenance and repair.
- Conveyor Belt Pulleys: Facilitates the secure mounting and simple removal of large bearings used in pulley systems.
- Fans and Blowers: Ensures robust mounting of bearings in large-scale ventilation equipment where reliability is critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Ideal for heavy-duty machinery where components are subject to high loads and harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing equipment that require frequent bearing replacement.
- Agricultural Machinery: Provides reliable bearing mounting on equipment like combines and harvesters.
- Large Electric Motors: Secures rotor bearings, enabling easier disassembly for servicing.
Benefits of Using the AHX 2313
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The design significantly speeds up the process of dismounting bearings for inspection or replacement.
- Prevents Shaft Damage: Eliminates the need for hammers or pullers that can damage the shaft surface during bearing removal.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a firm, reliable grip that secures the bearing in its operational position, reducing vibration and wear.
- Increased Component Life: By preventing damage during maintenance, both the bearing and shaft can achieve their maximum service life.
- Versatility: Allows for the bearing to be positioned at any point on a smooth cylindrical shaft, offering flexibility in machine design.
- Lower Overall Costs: By enabling the use of straight shafts and simplifying maintenance procedures, it helps reduce both initial and long-term operational costs.
