Product Installation: SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE

How to successfully install an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE:

Prepare the Surface: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Be sure to file down any burrs or rough spots carefully.
Measure the Diameter: Identify the diameter where the sleeve will be placed on a section of the shaft that is unworn. Measure in three different positions and take the average to ensure the shaft adheres to recommended specifications. If the average diameter is within the acceptable range for a particular sleeve size, the integrated press fit will suffice to keep the sleeve in place without adhesive.
Positioning the Sleeve: Locate the exact point at which the sleeve will cover the wear track of the seal. Make precise measurements or marks directly on the surface. The sleeve should cover the worn area rather than being flush with the end of the shaft.
Handle Wear Grooves Appropriately: For shallow wear grooves, filling isn’t necessary, although a light non-hardening sealant (like Loctite 209) can be applied on the inside diameter if desired. Clean off any excess sealant that makes its way to the external diameter of the sleeve.
Dealing with Deep Scoring: In cases of deep scores, use a powdered metal epoxy type filler to fill the grooves. Install the sleeve while the filler is still wet so that excess can be wiped off by the sleeve. Remove any lingering filler from the sleeve's exterior surface.
Installation Steps: The flange end of the sleeve should go onto the shaft first. Then, position your installation tool over it.
Gently Tap into Place: Carefully tap the tool’s center until the sleeve adequately covers the worn seal surface. Should the tool be too short, utilize a piece of pipe or tubing as a substitute, ensuring the diameters are compatible. Be cautious not to damage the surface of the sleeve.
Flange Handling: Retain the flange unless clearance is an issue. If removal is needed, cut the flange along the tear-off groove using metal shears and bend until it breaks free.
Final Checks: Post-installation, inspect once more for any burrs that could potentially harm the seal.
Lubricate Before Sealing: It’s essential to lubricate the sleeve with the corresponding system medium prior to the seal installation.
Determining the Sleeve Size: Clean the shaft thoroughly before measuring the diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface at multiple planes. The average of these readings will guide you in selecting the correct SKF Speedi-Sleeve size.

Efficiency of SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE provides a rapid and efficient solution for restoring worn shafts, proving to be quicker than traditional methods such as remetalizing or regrinding. The sleeve's exterior creates an optimal sealing surface even when many standard techniques fail to do so. Covering shaft diameters from .472” to 8” (12 mm to 200 mm), this thin-walled stainless-steel sleeve is both cost-effective and easy to install, leading to reduced downtime, as installation takes just minutes.

In summary, SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE offers immediate assistance for crankshafts in need of a new sealing surface, ensuring you get a hard, durable surface to work with while eliminating the need for expensive machining or extensive preparation steps. Each sleeve is provided with a disposable installation tool for seamless application.
