Product Overview: The AHX 2330 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2330 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve, an essential component from our AHX 2300 Series of Withdrawal Sleeves. Specifically designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 140mm diameter, this sleeve is crucial for applications requiring easy and damage-free bearing dismounting. The sleeve is installed into the bearing bore and pressed onto the shaft. Dismounting is achieved by using a hydraulic nut or a standard lock nut to push the sleeve out from under the bearing, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our AHX 2330 sleeves are manufactured to precise industry standards. This provides a secure and reliable fit for heavy-duty applications. Explore our full range of Bearing Accessories, including Adapter Sleeves and Withdrawal Sleeves, to complete your mounting and dismounting solutions.
Key Features of the AHX 2330 Sleeve
- Facilitates Easy Dismounting: Designed to be extracted from between the bearing and shaft, simplifying removal without damaging components.
- Secure Bearing Location: Ensures that bearings with a tapered bore are firmly positioned on cylindrical shafts.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from durable, high-strength steel to withstand high mounting forces and operational stresses.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure a perfect fit and reliable performance.
- Slit Design: Features a full-length slit that allows for compression and secure clamping onto the shaft.
- Versatile Application: Enables the use of standard tapered bore bearings on various cylindrical shaft configurations.
Common Applications
- Heavy Industrial Machinery: Used in large gearboxes, rolling mills, and crushers where bearings are subject to heavy loads.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for mounting bearings on head and tail pulleys, allowing for easier maintenance in the field.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Provides reliable bearing mounting in vibratory screens, excavators, and other heavy-duty machinery.
- Paper and Pulp Mills: Essential for rollers and drums where frequent bearing changes are required.
- Large Fans and Blowers: Ensures secure mounting and straightforward dismounting of bearings in critical ventilation systems.
- Marine and Offshore Equipment: Suitable for propulsion shafts and winches that operate in demanding environments.
Benefits of Using the AHX 2330 Withdrawal Sleeve
- Reduced Maintenance Time: Significantly speeds up the process of bearing removal, minimizing costly equipment downtime.
- Prevents Shaft Damage: Eliminates the need for hammers or pullers directly on the bearing or shaft, preserving the integrity of expensive shafts.
- Improved Equipment Lifespan: A secure fit reduces vibration and fretting corrosion, extending the service life of both the bearing and the shaft.
- Simplified Assembly: Allows for a wider tolerance on the shaft diameter compared to press-fit applications.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Provides a reliable mounting method that protects valuable components and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
- Enhanced Safety: The controlled dismounting process is safer for technicians compared to forceful extraction methods.
