Tolerance sleeves are small but crucial connecting elements. They enable quick, reliable, and economical assembly of cylindrical components and create backlash-free connections that reliably transmit torques and axial forces. Whether for fastening, positioning, or as mechanical overload protection, their correct design is decisive for the function and service life of the entire construction. <\/p>\n
During pressing, the sleeve deforms elastically and adapts exactly to the tolerances between the bore and the shaft. This creates a friction-locked connection that works reliably in the long term. For this connection to function, various factors must be taken into account \u2013 in particular, shape, material, load, and installation situation. <\/p>\n
The right shape for the right application<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the task, different sleeve types are used:<\/p>\n Correct calculation<\/strong><\/p>\n For the calculation of tolerance sleeves, there are guide values that depend on various influencing factors: torque, assembly force, and axial seating force. These can be determined using the known formulas. However, it is important to note that these values serve as a guide. Material strength, surface finish, lubrication, and assembly conditions significantly influence the real behavior. <\/p>\n During free installation, for example, a center offset can occur, which reduces the transmittable torque by up to 20%. Under alternating loads, the permissible radial load also decreases significantly. <\/p>\n Therefore, anyone who wants absolute certainty in the design should contact our application technology department directly. Our specialists support you in the dimensioning \u2013 from simple applications to complex projects. This allows development times to be shortened and tailor-made, long-lasting solutions to be realized. <\/p>\n\n
