Sleeve
Sleeves are precision-engineered components used to adapt, protect, or align rotating or stationary parts in mechanical systems. Commonly made from hardened steel, alloy steel, or other wear-resistant materials, sleeves serve various purposes such as reducing shaft wear, providing alignment in tool holders, or acting as adapters between tools and machines. In machining and tooling applications, sleeves are often used to mount smaller-diameter tools into larger tool holders (like collet sleeves or reduction sleeves), ensuring stable and precise operation.
Applications
- Used in tool holding systems to adapt tools of different shank sizes.
- Common in CNC machining, lathe operations, drilling, and milling setups.
- Applied in shafts and bearing assemblies to reduce wear and improve fit.
- Useful in automotive, aerospace, general manufacturing, and maintenance tasks.
Key Features
- Made from high-quality alloy steel or case-hardened steel.
- Ensures tight and concentric tool fitment.
- Offers smooth surface finish to reduce friction and wear.
- Available in various standard and custom dimensions.
- Supports quick tool changes and precise alignment.
- Enhances machine tool versatility and compatibility.
- Options include collet sleeves, reduction sleeves, extension sleeves, etc..
