Product Overview: The AHX 310 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 310 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve, an essential component for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft with a 50mm diameter. As a key part of our Bearing Accessories range, this sleeve facilitates the secure positioning of the bearing against a shaft shoulder or other fixed component. It is designed to be pressed into the bearing's bore and is typically secured in place using a corresponding lock nut and lock washer.
Withdrawal sleeves, also known as dismounting sleeves, simplify the process of both mounting and, crucially, dismounting bearings without causing damage to the shaft or the bearing. The AHX 310 is manufactured to precise tolerances from high-strength steel, ensuring a reliable and concentric fit. It belongs to the AHX Series of Withdrawal Sleeves, offering a robust solution for a wide array of industrial applications.
Features of the AHX 310 Sleeve
- Simplified Dismounting: Specifically designed with a taper to make the removal of bearings from shafts straightforward and damage-free.
- Precise Manufacturing: Ground to tight tolerances to ensure a secure and accurate fit between the bearing and the shaft.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade steel for excellent strength and long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.
- Secure Mounting: When used with a lock nut, it provides a strong axial hold, preventing bearing slippage on the shaft.
- Slit Design: Features a longitudinal slit that allows for slight compression, ensuring a tight grip on the shaft.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to industry standards for compatibility with various bearing types with a 1:12 tapered bore.
Applications of AHX 310 Sleeves
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Used for mounting large bearings on fan shafts, facilitating easier maintenance and replacement.
- Conveyor Systems: Secures bearings on conveyor rollers and drive shafts, where reliability and ease of service are critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Ideal for heavy-duty machinery where bearings are subjected to high loads and harsh conditions.
- Agricultural Machinery: Employed in equipment like combines and balers for mounting bearings on main shafts.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Supports bearings in rollers and processing machinery, environments where frequent maintenance may be required.
- Gearboxes and Transmissions: Provides a reliable method for mounting bearings on shafts within industrial gear systems.
- Large Electric Motors: Facilitates the mounting and dismounting of bearings on motor shafts.
Benefits of Using the AHX 310 Sleeve
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The primary benefit is the significant simplification of the bearing dismounting process.
- Prevents Shaft Damage: Eliminates the need for heating or excessive force during removal, protecting the shaft seating from wear or damage.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Allows the use of standard cylindrical shafts instead of more expensive stepped shafts, reducing manufacturing costs.
- Improved Machine Uptime: Faster and easier bearing replacement leads to less downtime for machinery.
- Versatility: Enables a single shaft size to accommodate different bearing positions with ease.
- Enhanced Reliability: Ensures a tight, concentric fit, which contributes to smoother operation and extended bearing life.
