Withdrawal sleeves are used to mount bearings with a tapered bore on cylindrical journals on stepped shafts (fig. 1). The sleeve is pressed into the bore of the bearing inner ring, which in turn presses against a shaft shoulder or similar retaining element. The sleeve can be secured with a nut or end plate. KM or HM locknuts with the appropriate locking mechanism are suitable (locknuts with a keyway are required). Locknuts are not supplied with the sleeve and must be ordered separately. End plates are not manufactured by JOJI.
