When a tapered bore bearing has to sit on a shouldered shaft and still come off cleanly at the next service, a BGL AH series withdrawal sleeve does the job. It slides onto the shaft against the shoulder and is driven into the bearing bore with a nut threaded on the shaft or an end cap. The external thread is what makes removal possible without harming the bearing. Standard supply is BGL nodular cast iron, with carbon steel available as an option.

Reading the code is straightforward once you know the layout. AH comes first, then two figures split by a slash: the leading figure identifies the thread type, the trailing one gives the shaft diameter in millimeters. Take AH30/530 — a withdrawal sleeve for a 530 mm tapered bore bearing, series 30. Suffixes can point to a different material or treatment, so always confirm the complete part number before ordering.

Typical installations are gearboxes, mills, conveyor belts, pumps and mining equipment, wherever tapered bore bearings are mounted on shouldered shafts. Cement, steel, paper and food plants rely on them when bearings need controlled interference on assembly and regular dismounting during maintenance.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, thread type and the bearing being secured. Mounting means pushing the sleeve with a lock nut or cap, and lubricating both the thread and the tapered surface is essential to get a clean fit and prevent damage. Lock nut, lock washer and withdrawal nut are ordered as separate items. Before applying mounting force, check shaft alignment and the condition of the bearing seat.

BGL AH series sleeves interchange with other brands built to the same thread and dimension standard. To replace an existing sleeve, send the full part number or the shaft and thread dimensions and we will identify the equivalent. MR Industrial Accessories supplies customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries, and our team can suggest equivalents and help you choose.
