REDUCER SLEEVE 3IN TO 2IN SHANK 6-3/4IN LENGTH

Function

• Reduces the mounting size from 3 inches (outside diameter) to 2 inches (inside diameter).
• Allows a machine designed to accept a 3-inch shank to securely hold a tool with a 2-inch shank.
• Maintains alignment and concentricity between the machine and the tool.
• Eliminates the need to purchase a different-sized holder or machine attachment.

Key Dimensions

• Outside Diameter (OD): 3 inches
• Inside Diameter (ID): 2 inches
• Overall Length: 6-3/4 inches

Typical Applications

• Drilling machines
• Milling machines
• Boring equipment
• Industrial tooling systems
• Heavy machinery where different shank sizes must be accommodated

How It Works

1. The reducer sleeve is inserted into a machine spindle or holder that accepts a 3-inch shank.
2. A tool with a 2-inch shank is inserted into the sleeve.
3. The sleeve centers and supports the smaller tool, allowing it to operate as though it were a 3-inch shank tool.
4. Set screws, drawbars, keys, or friction fits may be used to secure the assembly, depending on the design.

Benefits

• Increases tooling versatility.
• Reduces equipment and tooling costs.
• Enables use of existing tools with different machine sizes.
• Provides stable and accurate tool positioning.
