The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE offers an efficient solution for repairing worn shafts with minimal downtime. Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE:

1. Begin by cleaning the shaft's seal counter surface. Remove any burrs or rough spots to prepare for installation.
2. Measure the diameter of the unworn area on the shaft, taking three measurements to find the average. Ensure this mean diameter aligns with the specifications for the chosen sleeve size, confirming an adequate press fit that prevents movement without adhesive.
3. Identify the precise location where the sleeve will cover the seal wear track. The sleeve should entirely cover the worn area, rather than being flush with the shaft end.
4. If there are shallow wear grooves, additional filling is unnecessary. However, you may apply a non-hardening sealant, like Loctite 209, inside the sleeve, ensuring you clean any excess sealant off the outer surfaces.
5. In cases of deep scoring, fill the grooves with a powdered metal epoxy before installing the sleeve, which should wipe away any excess filler.
6. The flange end of the sleeve should be positioned on the shaft first, followed by placing the installation tool over the sleeve.
7. Gently tap the installation tool's center until the sleeve properly covers the worn surface. If the tool is too short, use a length of pipe or tubing, ensuring it matches the tool's diameter to avoid scratching the sleeve.
8. Retain the flange intact unless space is limited. If removal is necessary, cut it perpendicularly to the tear-off groove without damaging the sleeve's finish. Use pliers to bend the flange, breaking it along the groove.
9. After sleeve installation, check once more for any burrs that might damage seals.
10. Apply lubricants to the sleeve with the system medium before continuing with seal installation.

To determine the appropriate sleeve size, first clean the shaft thoroughly. Measure the diameter of an undamaged seal counterface in multiple areas, and the arithmetic mean will indicate the correct SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE size. If it falls within the permissible range, this sleeve will fit appropriately and securely on the shaft without the need for adhesives.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a quick and effective solution for refurbishing worn shafts, offering advantages over traditional remetalizing or regrinding methods. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the SPEEDI-SLEEVE boasts thin walls and a wear-resistant surface, reducing downtime as installation takes only minutes. Each kit includes an easy-to-use disposable installation tool, making it a low-cost yet reliable choice for mechanical repairs. The sealing surface created by the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is actually harder than that of a new shaft, ensuring long-lasting performance and compatibility with existing seals.
