Wear Sleeve Products

Hartford specializes in the custom design and manufacturing of wear sleeve
products for severe service applications in high volumes.

A bearing sleeve / wear sleeve product is a high precision component that becomes integral to the shaft.
By functioning as a primary running surface, a well-designed sleeve significantly prolongs the service life
of shafts and spindles, and minimizes ongoing maintenance and repair requirements.

A bearing sleeve / wear sleeve product is frequently used with shafts that are large, intricate or considered
"high value" from a metallurgical or operational standpoint. In some applications, a bearing sleeve or
wear sleeve is known as a journal bearing, but its function is the same.

Hartford bearing sleeve / wear sleeve products are engineered specifically for severe service applications
such as outboard motors and transmissions; other uses include drivetrain components, mineral and metal
processing and the chemical process industries.

Hartford bearing sleeve / wear sleeve products are custom manufactured for high volume applications
in carbon steel, chrome steel, and stainless steel.
