Product Overview: The AHX 2308 Withdrawal Sleeve
The AHX 2308 is a high-quality withdrawal sleeve designed for mounting bearings with a tapered bore onto a 40mm cylindrical shaft. As a crucial component in our Bearing Accessories range, this sleeve is part of the AHX 2300 Series and provides a secure and precise method for locating bearings. Withdrawal sleeves are designed to be pressed into the bearing bore, which abuts a shaft shoulder. They facilitate easy dismounting of the bearing from its seating, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime. The slit design ensures a firm grip on the shaft, providing a reliable and stable assembly for demanding industrial applications.
Manufactured to exacting standards, the AHX 2308 ensures correct interference fits and accurate positioning. It is commonly used with self-aligning ball bearings, such as the 2308, and spherical roller bearings. Explore our full catalog of Withdrawal Sleeves to find the ideal solution for your machinery.
