Use and Maintenance of Sleeve

2024-01-10

The correct installation of the adapter sleeve affects accuracy, lifespan, and performance.

Therefore, the design and assembly department should fully study the installation of the

locking sleeve. I hope to install according to the homework standards. The items of homework

standards are usually as follows:


(1) Clean the locking sleeve and the connecting part of the locking sleeve


(2) Check the dimensions and precision machining of related components


(3) Installation


(4) Inspection after installing the sleeve


(5) Supply lubricant


I hope to open the sleeve packaging shortly before installation. Generally lubricated

with grease, without cleaning, directly filled with grease. Lubricating oil lubrication is not

necessary for regular cleaning, but for instrument or high-speed use, the set sleeve should

be cleaned with clean oil to remove rust inhibitors applied to the set sleeve. Adapter

sleeve without rust inhibitor is prone to rusting, so it cannot be left unattended. Furthermore,

the sleeve that has been sealed with lubricating grease can be used directly without

cleaning.


The installation method of the sleeve varies depending on the structure, fit, and

condition of the sleeve. Generally, due to the fact that it is mostly a shaft rotation,

the inner ring requires an interference fit. Cylindrical hole sleeve, often pressed in

with a press or hot fitting method. In the case of a tapered hole, it can be installed directly

on the tapered shaft or with a sleeve.




When installed on the casing, there is generally more clearance fit and interference fit on

the outer ring. It is usually pressed in with a press or there is also a cold shrink fit method

for installation after cooling. In situations where dry ice is used as a coolant and cold

shrink is used for installation, moisture in the air will condense on the surface of the

sleeve. So, appropriate rust prevention measures are needed.
