Differences and Functions of Cemented Carbide Shaft Sleeves, Drill Sleeves and Bushings

31 Jul.,2025

Discover the differences and functions of cemented carbide shaft sleeves, drill sleeves, and bushings. Learn how their high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance make them essential in industrial applications like drilling, machinery protection, and oil well operations. Explore their roles in ensuring precision, longevity, and safety in various industries.

 

Due to the characteristics such as high hardness, strong wear resistance, high strength and good corrosion resistance, cemented carbide is widely used in the industrial field. Among the commonly seen cemented carbide sleeve workpieces in our daily life, there are mainly three types of commonly used cemented carbide sleeve components: cemented carbide drill shaft sleeves, cemented carbide sleeves and cemented carbide bushings. So, what are the differences and functions of cemented carbide shaft sleeves, drill bushings and bushing liners respectively?

 

Cemented Carbide Drill Sleeves

The tool used to determine the drilling position of a machined part is a drill sleeve. The production and processing of many mechanical products require the use of drill sleeves for positioning and guiding the tools during processing to ensure the completion of part machining. The drill bit is a production tool that cannot be ignored. When using a drill bit for processing, high-quality drilling tools should also be selected. Cemented carbide drill sleeves possess the advantages of cemented carbide, such as high hardness and strong wear resistance, making them very suitable. Good maintenance is required when using drill bushings.

Drill bit products made of cemented carbide materials do not need to worry about easy wear during use. Cemented carbide has high hardness. Before maintaining the drill bit, check whether there are any problems with the tool itself. After use, clean the entire tool thoroughly. Do not put corrosive liquids into cemented carbide drill bushing products to better extend the service life of cemented carbide drill sleeves.

 

Cemented Carbide Bushings

The main function of cemented carbide bushings is that the bushing is a component for protecting equipment. Using bushings can effectively reduce the wear between the punch or bearing and the equipment, and achieve the guiding function. As wear-resistant components for oil wells in petroleum machinery, cemented carbide bushings have the characteristics of high hardness, good wear resistance and high surface finish, and are being more and more widely used in modern society, being able to meet the needs of daily use and special performance.

In the petroleum industry, high-quality cemented carbide tool products used in equipment manufacturing are the basic equipment to ensure the long-term safe operation of the equipment production line. The performance requirements of cemented carbide mold products have become an inevitable key point, which reflects the promotion of high-end cemented carbide mold products to industries such as petroleum, aviation and automobiles. The corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and wear resistance of materials such as cemented carbide bushings, shaft sleeves, casing pipes and molds are the basic requirements for the long-term operation of petroleum machinery. Especially for cemented carbide casing pipes used in precision petroleum machinery with high requirements for dimensional accuracy, their production and processing operations require quite strict technological coordination.
