Product Overview: The AHX 2320 Adapter Sleeve
The AHX 2320 adapter sleeve is a precision-engineered component essential for securely mounting spherical roller bearings and self-aligning ball bearings with a tapered bore onto cylindrical shafts. This robust sleeve, part of our comprehensive AHX 2300 Series Adapter Sleeves, is designed to ensure a firm and concentric fit, providing optimal support for the bearing. With a nominal shaft bore diameter of 90mm, an outer diameter of 105mm, and a thickness of 70mm, the AHX 2320 offers a reliable solution for various industrial applications.
Adapter sleeves like the AHX 2320 simplify the mounting and dismounting process of bearings, especially on plain shafts, without requiring additional shaft shoulders or nuts. They are highly valued for their ability to compensate for minor shaft diameter tolerances, ensuring a tight and consistent interference fit. Our collection of sleeves is manufactured to rigorous industry standards, guaranteeing high performance and durability in demanding operational environments.
