How to Install the SKF Speedi-Sleeve

Installing an SKF Speedi-Sleeve is straightforward, provided you follow these key steps:

1. Clean the Shaft: Start by cleaning the counter surface on the seal of the shaft. Remove any burrs or rough areas with a file.

2. Measure the Diameter: Measure the diameter of the unworn portion of the shaft to confirm it falls within the recommended specifications. Take readings at three different points and calculate the average to ensure accuracy. This step is crucial as it helps in ensuring a proper fit for the sleeve.

3. Determine Sleeve Position: Identify and mark the exact location where the sleeve will cover the seal wear track. The sleeve should adequately cover the worn area instead of just sitting flush with the shaft's end.

4. Prepare for Wear Grooves: If there are shallow wear grooves, they typically don’t require filling. For instance, applying a light layer of a non-hardening sealant, like Loctite 209, on the inside diameter can be considered. Be sure to remove any excess sealant on the outside surface.

5. Address Deep Grooves: If deeper scoring is present, fill the grooves using a powdered metal epoxy type filler. It’s essential to install the sleeve before the filler hardens, as this allows for proper cleaning up afterward.

6. Install the Sleeve: Affix the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft first. Use the installation tool to gently tap the center of the sleeve until it covers the worn area adequately. In case the tool is short, a pipe or tubing can also be utilized, ensuring it is properly sized.

7. Flange Handling: Unless needed, leave the flange intact. If removal is necessary, do so by cutting the flange perpendicular to the tear-off groove without damaging the sleeve.

8. Final Checks: After installation, check for any remaining burrs that could potentially harm the seal, and lubricate the sleeve with the system medium.

9. Proceed with Seal Installation: After ensuring everything is in order, continue with the installation of the seal.

To determine the right size of your SKF Speedi-Sleeve, it’s essential to measure the shaft's diameter on undamaged areas and calculate the average, confirming that it falls within the appropriate range provided in the product table.
