Spacer Sleeve
Volvo

A spacer sleeve serves as a precision spacer to set correct axial or radial clearances in hubs, shafts, or assemblies demanding tight tolerances. In heavy-duty Volvo components, accurate spacing supports alignment of bearings, gears, and sealing surfaces, reducing unwanted friction and wear that can shorten service life. The sleeve is designed to withstand repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, resisting galling and corrosion with compatible materials. When installed, it helps maintain consistent preload and alignment, contributing to smoother operation and quieter performance. Regular inspection ensures the sleeve remains within tolerance, preventing subtle misalignment that could escalate into more significant mechanical issues. Source One Parts Center.
