Understanding the Speedi-Sleeve Installation Process

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to correctly install an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE:

1. Ensure that the seal counter surface on the shaft is thoroughly cleaned. Remove any burrs or rough edges using a file.

2. Measure the diameter of the unworn section of the shaft where the sleeve will go. Take measurements at three different locations and calculate the average. If this average lies within the specified range for the corresponding sleeve size, you will have a secure fit that will prevent sliding or spinning without needing adhesives.

3. Identify the exact point where the sleeve must cover the seal wear track. It’s crucial to mark this area accurately, as the sleeve must sit over the worn section instead of merely resting flush with the end of the shaft.

4. For shallow wear grooves, filling is unnecessary. However, you might consider applying a thin layer of a non-hardening sealant, such as Loctite 209, to the inside diameter of the sleeve—clean off any excess sealant that might spread to the outside surface.

5. If you encounter deep scores on the shaft, fill the grooves with a powdered metal epoxy filler before installing the sleeve. This should be done before the filler hardens, allowing the sleeve to remove any excess material.

6. Begin installation by placing the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft, followed by placing the installation tool over it.

7. Gently tap the center of the installation tool until the sleeve properly covers the seal wear surface. If the installation tool is too short, you can utilize a metal pipe or tubing with a clean, squared-off end, ensuring the inner diameter matches that of the tool.

8. Avoid removing the flange unless necessary for clearance. If removal is required, cut it carefully along the tear-off groove with metal shears, ensuring not to damage the sleeve surface.

9. After installation, inspect the area again for any burrs that could harm the seal.

10. Before putting the sleeve in place, lubricate it with the system medium to ensure optimal performance.

11. Finally, proceed with the seal installation.

Sizing the Speedi-Sleeve

To determine the correct size of the sleeve, clean the shaft and measure the diameter of an undamaged area on at least three different planes. The average of these measurements will indicate the appropriate SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. If this average falls within the specified range, the sleeve will fit snugly without needing adhesive.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a swift and effective solution for refining a worn shaft, offering benefits greater than traditional remetalizing or regrinding methods. The thin-walled, high-quality stainless steel construction provides a wear-resistant contact surface, requiring no costly machining. Installation is quick, typically taking only a few minutes.

In summary, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE serves as an immediate solution for worn crankshafts, offering a durable surface and a simple installation process, complete with a disposable tool for added convenience.
