Product Overview: The AHX 322 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 322 is a precision-engineered withdrawal sleeve designed for the simple and efficient dismounting of bearings with a tapered bore from a cylindrical shaft seat. This sleeve is a crucial component in our Withdrawal Sleeves collection and a part of the AHX 3200 Series. With a bore diameter of 100mm to fit the shaft, it is specifically designed for bearings with a 110mm tapered bore, such as the 22222 Spherical Roller Bearing. Its slotted design and external taper allow it to be pulled into the bearing bore, securing the bearing tightly onto the shaft, and facilitating easy removal when maintenance is required.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our AHX 322 sleeves meet stringent quality standards. They provide a reliable solution for mounting and dismounting bearings in heavy-duty machinery, preventing damage to both the shaft and the bearing during the process. This makes them indispensable in applications where reliability and minimal downtime are critical.
Key Features of the AHX 322 Sleeve
- Simplified Bearing Dismounting: Designed to make the removal of tapered-bore bearings from cylindrical shafts quick and easy.
- Precision Machining: Ensures a perfect fit and uniform contact between the shaft, sleeve, and bearing for optimal performance.
- Slotted Construction: The sleeve is slotted to allow for contraction, facilitating its withdrawal from the bearing assembly.
- High-Strength Material: Manufactured from high-quality steel to withstand the forces involved in mounting and dismounting operations.
- Enhanced Reusability: Durable construction allows the sleeve to be reused, offering excellent long-term value.
- Corrosion Resistance: Treated surfaces provide protection against rust and environmental factors, extending service life.
Common Applications
- Heavy Industrial Machinery: Used in large gearboxes, rolling mills, and processing equipment where robust bearing arrangements are necessary.
- Mining and Construction: Essential for equipment like crushers, conveyors, and excavators that operate under extreme loads.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Applied in rollers, presses, and processing machinery that require frequent maintenance and bearing replacement.
- Large Fans and Blowers: Provides a secure mounting solution for bearings in large-scale ventilation and air-handling systems.
- Power Generation: Utilized in turbines, generators, and other critical power plant equipment.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Suitable for propeller shafts and other marine applications requiring dependable bearing performance.
Benefits of Using the AHX 322
- Reduced Maintenance Time: The withdrawal sleeve design significantly speeds up the process of dismounting bearings.
- Prevents Component Damage: Eliminates the need for excessive force or heat during bearing removal, protecting the shaft and bearing from damage.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Allows for the use of standard cylindrical shafts with tapered-bore bearings, which can be more economical.
- Increased Operational Reliability: Guarantees a secure and rigid fit, which is crucial for the performance and longevity of the entire machine.
- Simplified Assembly: While primarily for dismounting, it is part of a system that allows for straightforward installation and precise positioning of bearings on a shaft.
