The 501218721 Shaft Sleeve (also referenced as 0501.217.795) is a precision-machined cylindrical component designed to fit over rotating shafts, providing a hardened, wear-resistant surface that protects the underlying shaft from abrasion, fretting, and corrosion. This sleeve is commonly used in transmission output shafts, axle pinion shafts, and power take-off (PTO) assemblies where high loads and relative motion occur.
Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel with a controlled induction-hardening process, the 501218721 sleeve achieves a surface hardness of HRC 55–60, ensuring excellent resistance to galling and wear. The internal bore and external diameter are ground to precise tolerances, guaranteeing a snug interference fit with mating shafts and proper alignment with seals and bearings.
Designed as a direct OEM replacement, the 501218721 ensures that your HOWO chassis retains its factory shaft-to-bore clearances, preventing premature seal failure, bearing overload, and shaft scoring. The sleeve’s surface finish is optimized to provide an ideal running surface for lip seals and bushings, effectively containing lubricants and excluding contaminants.
With the 501218721, SINOTRUK HOWO delivers a new standard of reliability for critical shaft protection. Every unit is inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and hardness consistency, ensuring that each sleeve provides dependable protection and contributes to the overall durability of the driveline system.
