Adapter & Withdrawal Sleeves
Adapter Sleeves and Withdrawal Sleeves are used to secure bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shaft seatings. They facilitate bearing mounting and dismounting and often simplify bearing arrangement design.
Adapter Sleeves are the more popular choice of sleeve as they enable bearings to be mounted on smooth shafts, they are easier to mount in comparison to a Withdrawal Sleeve and require no additional location on the shaft. Adapter Sleeves, which are suppllied with a lock nut and locking washer, have a slotted design and an external taper.
Bearings on Withdrawal Sleeves must be mounted against a fixed abutment. Withdrawal Sleeves are slotted, have an external taper, and are also coated with a preservative.
Larger Adapter & Withdrawal Sleeves are available with oil supply ducts and distribution grooves.
