Torque transmission with tolerance sleeves: applications and advantages
Tolerance sleeves are versatile aids used in both individual and series production – whether in mechanical engineering, conveyor technology, motor vehicles, ventilation and air conditioning systems, or medical technology. They reduce oscillations and vibrations, compensate for alignment errors and center offset, and bridge large tolerances of connecting parts. They are most often used as connecting elements, slip or overload clutches, for adjustment or positioning (friction elements), and for torque transmission. We will take a closer look at the latter function in this article.
