Simple explanation:
A sleeve is like a protective covering or connector that helps parts last longer, stay safe, and work efficiently.
Sleeves work by fitting over or around another component to perform their function. Their operation depends on the application:
In mechanical systems, they act as a barrier, reducing friction and preventing damage between moving parts.
In electrical systems, they insulate wires to prevent short circuits and enhance safety.
In piping or construction, they connect or reinforce joints and protect materials from external damage.
When installed, the sleeve remains in place and continuously protects or supports the component during operation without requiring active control.
