How to Install an SKF Speedi-Sleeve

Installing an SKF Speedi-Sleeve is a straightforward process that involves several crucial steps:

Preparation: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Remove any burrs or rough spots to avoid issues during installation.
Measurement: Measure the diameter of an unworn section of the shaft in three different positions. Calculate the average to ensure the shaft meets the recommended specifications for the sleeve size.
Positioning: Identify where the sleeve will cover the seal wear track and mark the precise positioning. It's essential that the sleeve covers the worn area and is not just positioned flush with the end of the shaft.
Sealant Application: If there are shallow wear grooves, filling is unnecessary. However, applying a non-hardening sealant, like Loctite 209, to the inside diameter of the sleeve can enhance the seal. Be sure to clean away any excess sealant that may migrate outside.
Filling Deep Grooves: For deeper shaft scoring, fill the grooves with powdered metal epoxy before installing the sleeve, allowing it to remove any excess material as it is positioned.
Installation: Place the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft first, then use the provided installation tool to ensure proper fit. Gently tap the center of the tool until the sleeve fully covers the sealed worn area.
Flange Management: Keep the flange intact unless clearance is required. If removal is necessary, cut it cleanly with metal shears along the tear-off groove.
Final Checks: After installation, inspect for any burrs that may damage the new seal, ensuring a smooth surface.
Lubrication: Before sealing, lubricate the sleeve with the relevant system medium to facilitate installation.
Proceed with Seal Installation: Once the sleeve is secured and inspected, you can continue with the seal installation.

Determining Sleeve Size

To ascertain the correct sleeve size, it is important to clean the shaft thoroughly. Measure the diameter of an unworn section at least three times, and calculate the arithmetic mean of these measurements. Verify that this average falls within the permissible range listed in the product specifications for SKFs Speedi-Sleeve.

The SKF Speedi-Sleeve, made from high-quality stainless steel, is designed to repair worn shafts both quickly and effectively. Its outer surface creates an ideal sealing surface that is harder than a new shaft, allowing for a snug fit with the same size seal being replaced. Each sleeve kit includes a disposable installation tool, making the process efficient and straightforward.

In conclusion, SKF Speedi-Sleeves offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for restoring sealing surfaces on crankshafts, ensuring minimal downtime with easy installation.
