Stahlhülse

Stahlhülse, a German term, translates to "steel sleeve" or "steel bushing." It refers to a cylindrical component made of steel that is used to reinforce, protect, or connect other parts. These sleeves are typically hollow and can be found in a wide variety of mechanical applications.

The primary functions of a stahlhülse include preventing wear and tear on mating components, providing a bearing surface for rotating shafts, or acting as a spacer. They can be press-fitted, shrink-fitted, or otherwise secured onto a shaft or within a housing. The specific design and material properties of a stahlhülse are determined by the intended use, considering factors like load-bearing capacity, friction requirements, and environmental conditions.

Stahlhülsen are common in automotive engineering, machinery, and industrial equipment. For example, they are used in engine components, transmissions, and structural supports. Their durability and strength make them a reliable solution for demanding applications where resistance to abrasion and stress is crucial. The manufacturing process often involves precision machining to ensure tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish.
