A shaft sleeve is an important component used to smooth the contact surface between a shaft and a bearing, reducing friction.
The operating principle involves the rotation of the shaft transmitting to the bearing through the shaft sleeve, reducing friction with its smooth contact surface. Widely used in various fields such as industrial machinery, automobiles, and household appliances, shaft sleeves are particularly prevalent in industrial machinery where they are integrated into many components. The basic structure consists of the sleeve body and a seal, protecting the contact surface between the shaft and the bearing.
Key features of shaft sleeves include friction reduction, contact surface protection, and vibration suppression. These properties enable efficient rotation of the shaft. Specific points to note include the possibility of increased or decreased friction if the size is inappropriate.
