Introducing the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a revolutionary solution for restoring worn shafts. Here’s how you can install it:

1. Prepare the Surface: Start by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Ensure you file down any rough spots or burrs for a smooth finish.

2. Measure for Fit: Measure the diameter at the intended sleeve position on a pristine section of the shaft. Take measurements at three different planes for accuracy and average them. The mean diameter should align with the recommended specifications for the sleeve size, ensuring a secure press fit without the need for adhesive.

3. Mark the Position: Decide where to position the sleeve to cover the worn seal track. Mark the shaft accurately; the sleeve should fully cover the worn area rather than sit flush with the shaft's end.

4. Address Shallow Wear Grooves: If there are shallow grooves, you may not need to fill them. Optionally, a thin layer of non-hardening sealant can be applied inside the sleeve. Remember to clean up any excess sealant that may migrate to the outside surface.

5. Handling Deep Grooves: For shafts with deep scores, use a powdered metal epoxy to fill the grooves before fitting the sleeve while the filler is still pliable. This ensures that excess filler is wiped off.

6. Installation Process: Begin by placing the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft, then cover it with the installation tool.

7. Gently Tap into Place: Lightly tap the installation tool's center until the sleeve covers the seal-worn surface. If needed, you can use a pipe or tubing to assist, making sure its diameter matches the installation tool.

8. Flange Considerations: Keep the flange intact unless clearance requires removal. When necessary, use metal shears to cut it perpendicular to the groove. Position the sleeve as needed, then manipulate the flange with pliers to break it away.

9. Final Check: After installation, inspect for any burrs that might harm the seal.

10. Lubrication: Prior to the sleeve installation, lubricate it with the appropriate system medium.

11. Seal Installation: Proceed by installing the seal over the newly positioned sleeve.

How to Determine Sleeve Size

To find the correct sleeve size, clean the shaft thoroughly and measure the diameter of an undamaged section on at least three planes. The average diameter will help determine the suitable SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. If it’s within the specified range, you can be confident that the sleeve will fit securely without adhesive.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE stands out as a quick and effective alternative to traditional methods such as remetalizing or regrinding. With a thin-walled construction of high-quality stainless steel, it provides an ideal sealing surface, with its dimensions ranging from .472” to 8” in diameter (12 mm to 200 mm). Each SPEEDI-SLEEVE comes with a disposable installation tool, streamlining the fitting process while ensuring durability.

In conclusion, when you need to restore a worn crankshaft, the cost-effective and easy-to-install SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is your go-to solution, giving you enhanced sealing performance beyond that of a new shaft.
