Product Overview: The AHX 2318 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2318 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve, an essential component from our AHX 2300 Series of Withdrawal Sleeves. Designed specifically for dismounting bearings with a tapered bore from a cylindrical shaft seating, this sleeve simplifies maintenance and protects both the bearing and the shaft from damage during removal. It is engineered for an 85 mm shaft diameter and is used to secure bearings with a 90 mm tapered bore, providing a precise and reliable fit. The sleeve's slit design and robust construction ensure straightforward and secure operation in demanding industrial environments.
As a key part of our Bearing Accessories range, the AHX 2318 is manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy and long-term performance. These sleeves are crucial for applications where bearings are subjected to heavy loads and require periodic inspection or replacement. By facilitating easy dismounting, they significantly reduce machine downtime and maintenance costs.
