Withdrawal sleeve AH2344 transmits the clamping force from the locknut to the bearing bore when mounting a spherical roller bearing on an adapter arrangement onto a plain shaft, eliminating the need for a shaft shoulder. The sleeve has a bore diameter of 220.0 mm, a net mass of 13.8 kg, and is executed in standard design as a finished mechanical accessory part, machined to the tolerances required for a tight, uniform fit against the tapered bore of the bearing. Mounting relies on driving the sleeve axially under the bearing using the locknut, which generates the radial expansion needed to achieve the specified internal clearance reduction after fitting. Because the arrangement does not require a shoulder or keyway on the shaft, it simplifies shaft machining and allows the bearing position to be adjusted along the shaft before final tightening. The standard design corresponds to general-purpose mounting conditions without additional sealing or special surface treatment features noted in the data.
