The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a fast and effective solution for refinishing worn shafts. It's quicker than remetalizing or regrinding, and it creates an improved sealing surface. The standard range of SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE sizes covers shaft diameters from 0.472" to 8" (12 mm to 200 mm), and the thin-walled, 0.011" (0.28 mm) stainless steel construction ensures a precise fit.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE:

Clean the seal counter surface on the shaft and file down any burrs or rough spots.
Measure the diameter of the unworn portion of the shaft in three positions and calculate the average to ensure it falls within the recommended specifications for the selected sleeve size.
Determine the exact position where the sleeve needs to be placed to cover the seal wear track, and mark the surface accordingly.
If the shaft has shallow wear grooves, you can optionally apply a light layer of non-hardening sealant, such as Loctite 209, to the inside diameter of the sleeve.
If the shaft is deeply scored, fill the groove with a powdered metal epoxy-type filler before installing the sleeve.
Insert the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft first, then place the installation tool over the sleeve.
Gently tap the center of the installation tool until the sleeve covers the seal worn surface, taking care not to scratch the precision-ground outside diameter of the sleeve.
If needed, remove the flange by cutting it perpendicular to the tear-off groove with a metal shear, and then use pliers to bend and twist the flange until it breaks loose.
After the sleeve is installed, check for any remaining burrs that could potentially damage the seal.
Lubricate the sleeve with the system medium before proceeding with the seal installation.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE provides a fast and cost-effective solution for restoring worn shafts, minimizing downtime and ensuring reliable sealing performance.
