Description
CNC machined actuating sleeve with an internal drive profile
This stainless steel sleeve has a circular outer wall, a shaped internal profile and a small radial feature. The inner engagement geometry and the outer locating diameter must work together for the intended actuating assembly.
Internal profile and sleeve fit
- Define the internal shape by drawing or the applicable spline or drive standard.
- Control the inside-to-outside diameter relationship, wall thickness and required roundness.
- Dimension the small radial feature and its angular location when it is used for positioning.
Machining thin-wall sleeve geometry
Thin ring sections require suitable workholding to avoid distortion during turning and profile machining. Final measurement should confirm the internal mating profile and the outer locating surface in the condition specified for delivery. Passivation or other finishing should be included only when required by the design.
Quotation Information
Provide the stainless grade, sleeve dimensions, internal mating profile, required clearance or interference fit, quantity and any heat-treatment or inspection criteria.
