Product Installation Guide: How to Use the SKF Speedi-Sleeve

Installing an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is straightforward and can be done effectively by following these steps:

Preparation: Start by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Remove any burrs or rough spots with a file.
Measurement: Measure the diameter at the location where the sleeve will be installed using an unworn area of the shaft. Take readings in three positions and calculate the average. Ensure the mean diameter falls within the recommended sleeve size range to guarantee a secure fit, as the sleeve is designed to prevent sliding or spinning without adhesives.
Positioning: Identify the precise location where the sleeve should be applied to cover the worn seal track. It’s important to mark the exact point or measure directly, positioning the sleeve over the worn area rather than flush with the shaft's end.
Preparation for Installation: Shallow grooves don't require filling; however, applying a thin layer of a non-hardening sealant (e.g., Loctite 209) to the sleeve's inside diameter surface is optional. Make sure to clean off any sealant that migrates to the sleeve's outside diameter surface.
Filling Deep Grooves: For deeply scored shafts, use a powdered metal epoxy filler for repairing the grooves. Install the sleeve before the filler cures to remove any excess.
Installation Process: Start by placing the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft. Use the provided installation tool and gently tap its center until the sleeve covers the worn area. If needed, a piece of pipe can also be utilized.
Final Touches: Keep the flange intact unless clearance issues necessitate its removal. If necessary, cut the flange along the tear-off groove to detach it, ensuring not to damage the sleeve's surface.
Post-installation Check: After sleeve installation, inspect for any burrs that could impair the seal and lubricate the sleeve with the system medium.
Complete the Installation: Now you're ready to proceed with the seal installation.

Selecting the Correct Size:

To ensure you choose the right sleeve size, clean the shaft thoroughly first. Measure the diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface at multiple planes to find the average. If this average falls within the permissible range listed in our product table, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE will fit securely and will not require adhesives.

Offering a quick and efficient method for restoring worn shafts, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is designed to enhance your sealing system. With a thin wall of just 0.011” (0.28 mm) and made of high-quality stainless steel, it provides a wear-resistant surface that’s ready for installation in just minutes, significantly minimizing downtime.

Conclusion

Whether you need a quick repair for a crankshaft or a cost-effective solution for sealing surface restoration, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE comes equipped with all necessary tools, ensuring a reliable and hassle-free installation every time.
