Product Overview: The AHX 315 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 315 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve, an essential component for mounting and dismounting bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. As part of our extensive range of Withdrawal Sleeves and a key member of the AHX 300 Series, this sleeve is designed to facilitate easy removal of bearings from their seated position. The sleeve is installed into the bearing's bore and then pushed against a shaft shoulder or similar abutment, making it ideal for applications that require regular maintenance or replacement.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the AHX 315 ensures a secure and accurate fit. Its primary function is to simplify the dismounting process, which is achieved by tightening a lock nut onto the sleeve's thread, pushing the bearing off the sleeve's taper. This method prevents damage to both the bearing and the shaft, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term machinery maintenance.
