Product Installation: Speedi-Sleeve

Installing an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is straightforward, and with these steps, you can ensure a successful application:

Preparation: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft, removing any burrs or rough spots.
Measurement: Measure the diameter in an unworn portion of the shaft at three different points to calculate the average. If the mean diameter fits within the prescribed range for the sleeve size, it guarantees a proper press fit, negating the need for adhesive.
Positioning the Sleeve: Identify the exact point where the sleeve will cover the worn seal track. Mark this location accurately for correct placement. The sleeve must extend over the worn area, ensuring a proper fit.
Filling Grooves: Shallow wear grooves do not require any filler, but you may apply a non-hardening sealant, such as Loctite 209, to the inside diameter of the sleeve as an option. Be cautious to remove any sealant that may migrate outside.
Deeper Grooves: For significant scoring, fill the groove with a powdered metal epoxy filler before installing the sleeve, allowing it to wipe off any excess.
Installation: Position the flange end of the sleeve on the shaft, then utilize the provided installation tool over the sleeve. Gently tap the center of the tool until the sleeve properly covers the worn seal surface.
Flange Management: Keep the flange intact unless space constraints demand its removal. If needed, cut it at the tear-off groove and use pliers to detach it cleanly.
Final Checks: After sleeve installation, inspect for any remaining burrs that could damage the seal.
Lubrication: Prior to placing the sleeve, lubricate it with the system medium.
Seal Installation: Finally, proceed with the installation of the seal.

Determining Sleeve Size

To select the correct sleeve size, first clean the shaft meticulously. Measure the diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface at three different points to obtain an average diameter. By referencing the provided product table, you can confirm whether the selected SKF Speedi-Sleeve falls within the allowable range, ensuring a secure fit on the shaft without the need for adhesive.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE offers a quick and efficient solution for worn shafts, significantly faster than traditional remetalizing or regrinding methods. With a wear-resistant surface finish and a standard range covering shaft diameters from 0.472” to 8” (12 mm to 200 mm), installation is quick and straightforward, minimizing downtime. Each SPEEDI-SLEEVE kit includes a disposable installation tool, making it a cost-effective and practical choice for sealing repairs.
