Product Insight: Installing the SKF Speedi-Sleeve

The SKF Speedi-Sleeve is a remarkable solution for repairing worn shafts. Here’s a straightforward guide to its installation:

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Ensure to file down any rough edges or burrs.
Measure the diameter of the shaft at an unworn section in three different locations, and calculate the average. If this average falls within the recommended range for the sleeve size, it will sit securely without the need for adhesive.
Identify the exact placement of the sleeve to cover the seal's wear track and mark it accurately.
For shallow wear grooves, no filling is required. Optionally, apply a light layer of non-hardening sealant, such as Loctite 209, on the inside diameter of the sleeve.
In cases of deep grooves, use a powdered metal epoxy filler to level the area before swiftly installing the sleeve.
Place the sleeve on the shaft with the flange end leading, and introduce the installation tool.
Tap the center of the installation tool gently until the sleeve covers the worn area. If the tool is insufficient, a pipe can be used to facilitate installation, ensuring it matches the tool’s diameter.
Keep the flange intact unless clearance is needed; if removal is necessary, cut it carefully to avoid damaging the sleeve.
Post-installation, check for burrs that could potentially damage the seal.
Apply lubrication to the sleeve surface before the final seal installation.
Follow by inserting the seal.

Determining the Correct Sleeve Size

To find the right sleeve size, clean the shaft meticulously and measure the diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface in at least three locations. The average of these measurements will guide you to the suitable SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. As long as this measurement falls within the permissible range outlined in our product guide, you can be assured of a secure fit.

The SKF Speedi-Sleeve serves as a fast and effective method for refurbishing worn shafts, offering a sealing surface that is actually harder than a new shaft. The sleeve itself, made from high-quality stainless steel and featuring a thin wall of just 0.011 inches, is designed for ease of use and quick installation—taking only minutes, thus minimizing downtime.

Each SKF Speedi-Sleeve kit includes a disposable installation tool, ensuring that you can execute the installation process effectively and efficiently. This combination of quality, efficacy, and ease makes the SKF Speedi-Sleeve an indispensable solution for maintaining sealing surfaces on crankshafts and other components.
