Whether the adapter sleeve is installed correctly affects accuracy, life, and performance. Therefore, the design and assembly departments must fully study the installation of the adapter sleeve. It is hoped that the installation will be carried out according to the work standards. Projects for work standards typically include the following:
(1) Clean the adapter sleeve and its related parts
(2) Check the size and finishing of related parts
(3) Installation
(4) Inspection after installing the adapter sleeve

(5) Supply lubricant

It is hoped that the adapter sleeve will be unpacked just before installation. General grease lubrication, no cleaning, directly filled with grease. It is lubricated by lubricating oil and generally does not need to be cleaned. However, the adapter sleeves used for instruments or high speeds must be washed with clean oil to remove the anti-rust agent coated on the adapter sleeves. The adapter sleeve without the anti-rust agent is prone to rust, so it cannot be left alone. Furthermore, the adapter sleeve that has been filled with grease can be used directly without cleaning.

The installation method of the adapter sleeve varies depending on the structure, fit, and conditions of the adapter sleeve. Generally, because most of the shaft rotates, the inner ring requires an interference fit. Cylindrical hole adapter sleeves are usually pressed in with a press or hot-fitted. In the case of a tapered hole, install it directly on the tapered shaft, or install it with a sleeve.

When installed into the shell, there is generally a lot of clearance fit and there is interference in the outer ring. It is usually pressed in with a press, or there is also a shrink fit method of installing after cooling. When dry ice is used as the coolant and shrink fit is installed, moisture in the air will condense on the surface of the adapter sleeve. Therefore, appropriate rust prevention measures are required.
