Product Overview: The AHX 308 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 308 is a high-quality Withdrawal Sleeve designed to facilitate the easy dismounting of bearings with a tapered bore from a cylindrical shaft. Specifically engineered for a 35mm shaft diameter, this sleeve is an essential component in assemblies where bearings need to be removed for maintenance or replacement without causing damage to the shaft or the bearing itself. As part of the AHX 300 Series, the AHX 308 is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a secure fit and reliable performance.
Withdrawal sleeves work by being extracted from between the bearing and the shaft, typically using a lock nut. This action breaks the interference fit, allowing the bearing to be removed with minimal effort. Our AHX 308 sleeves are crafted from durable steel to withstand the forces involved in this process, making them a crucial part of any robust mechanical system. They are widely used across various industries, providing a simple and effective solution for bearing maintenance.
