The mounting of a tapered intermediate sleeve, between the shaft and the outer c
omponent, is often preferred for manufacturing reasons. A further advantage is t
hat the sleeve can easily be replaced if it becomes damaged. A sleeve may either
be tapered externally (figure 1) or have a tapered bore (figure 2), the choice
being dictated by manufacturing considerations.
<br><br />
With tapered intermediate sleeves, the oil must be injected between the componen
ts with tapered surfaces. In the case of an externally tapered intermediate slee
ve a locating stop should be provided to prevent displacement of the sleeve duri
ng mounting. This stop or support may either be permanent (for example, a spacer
sleeve or shaft shoulder); alternatively, the mounting tool may be designed to
give temporary support during the period of mounting. This latter method is of
ten sultable for use with smaller components and is illustrated in figure 3.
<br> <br />
Conversion from a cylindrical to a tapered mating surfaces can be effected by mo
unting a tapered sleeve on a cylindrical surface and thus facilitate the use of
the oil injection method; certain components can usually be retained from a con
version of this nature. If the old component is keyed, keyways must be removed e
ither by machining, in which case the tapered sleeve will have to be correspondi
ngly thicker, or by depositing metal in the keyways and machining to original si
ze. In the latter case it is most important that the work is carried out very a
ccurately to prevent oil leakage. If one of the components is manufactured in ca
st iron or cast steel it may be porous, which means that mounting and dismounti
ng may be difficult due to oil leakage during injection.
<br><br />
If porous components are used, then a sleeve may be used to seal the porous surf
ace - a sleeve with tapered bore if the outer component is likely to be porous,
or an externally tapered sleeve should the shaft be porous. Since the strength o
f cast iron is usually lower than that of steel it is often necessary, when usin
g such materials for the outer component, to give special attention to the desig
n in order to obtain sufficient power-transmitting capacity. By using a thick sl
eeve of high-tensile steel with a tapered bore, as shown in figure 4, the weaker
outer component is reinforced and high surface pressures may be permitted betwe
en shaft and sleeve. A somewhat lower pressure may be used between the sleeve an
d the cast iron wheel hub because the mating surfaces have a larger diameter.
