Product Overview: The AHX 2315 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2315 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve designed to facilitate the dismounting of bearings with a tapered bore from a cylindrical shaft seat. This essential component is specifically engineered for use with a 70mm diameter shaft and is compatible with bearings featuring a 75mm tapered bore, such as the 2315 self-aligning ball bearing. As part of our extensive range of Withdrawal Sleeves, the AHX 2315 provides a secure and reliable method for mounting, while also simplifying the removal process, thereby protecting the shaft from damage and reducing maintenance time. The sleeve's slotted design and external thread allow for the use of a lock nut to press the sleeve into the bearing bore for mounting and to pull it out for dismounting.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the AHX 2315 belongs to the AHX 2300 Series and serves as a critical bearing accessory in a multitude of heavy-duty industrial applications. Its robust construction ensures longevity and consistent performance in demanding environments.
Key Features of the AHX 2315
- Simplified Dismounting: Specifically designed to make the removal of bearings from shafts an easy and damage-free process.
- Precise Fit: Engineered for a 70mm shaft diameter and a 75mm bearing bore, ensuring a tight and secure assembly.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade steel for excellent strength, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Slotted Design: The sleeve is slit, allowing for contraction and easy installation and removal when used with a lock nut.
- Cost-Effective Mounting: Enables the use of readily available tapered bore bearings on less expensive, straight cylindrical shafts.
- Corrosion Resistance: Treated to resist corrosion, ensuring reliability in various operating conditions.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in conveyor systems, crushers, and vibrating screens where heavy loads and vibrations are common.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for rollers and machinery requiring frequent bearing maintenance and replacement.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for large fan assemblies, simplifying maintenance procedures.
- Construction Equipment: Applied in heavy machinery like excavators and cranes for mounting bearings on shafts and spindles.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Used in propeller shafts and gearboxes where reliable performance and serviceability are critical.
- Power Generation: Found in turbines and generators for secure bearing mounting on large shafts.
Benefits of Using the AHX 2315 Sleeve
- Reduced Machine Downtime: The ease of dismounting bearings significantly shortens maintenance periods.
- Shaft Protection: Prevents shaft damage, such as scoring or fretting, that can occur during bearing removal.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a rigid and concentric grip on the shaft, improving the operational stability of the bearing.
- Simplified Assembly: Allows for a straightforward mounting process without the need for heating or complex tooling.
- Maintenance Efficiency: Facilitates quick and easy replacement of bearings, reducing labor costs and effort.
- Versatility: Allows for some axial positioning of the bearing on the shaft, offering flexibility in assembly.
