Installing the SKF Speedi-Sleeve The SKF Speedi-Sleeve is an effective solution for worn shafts, offering a quick and reliable method to restore sealing surfaces. Here’s a step-by-step guide to its installation:

Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft, removing any burrs or rough spots.
Measure the diameter of an unworn section of the shaft across three different points, and calculate the average reading. This helps ensure your shaft is within the recommended specifications. If the average diameter falls within the sleeve size range, the sleeve will have adequate press fit to avoid movement without adhesive.
Identify and mark the location where the sleeve will cover the worn seal track.
For shallow wear grooves, filling isn't necessary, but you can optionally apply a light layer of non-hardening sealant, such as Loctite 209, to the inner diameter of the sleeve.
For deeper grooves, fill them using a powdered metal epoxy before installing the sleeve. This allows the sleeve to remove any excess filler as it's positioned.
Install the sleeve with its flange end facing the shaft first, and position the installation tool over the sleeve.
Carefully tap the tool's center until the sleeve is properly aligned over the worn area. If the installation tool isn't long enough, you can use a piece of pipe or tubing that has a squared-off end.
If flange removal is necessary for clearance, make incision cuts using metal shears along the tear-off groove to detach it without damaging the sleeve.
After installation, check again for any burrs that may harm the seal.
Remember to lubricate the sleeve with the appropriate medium before proceeding with the seal installation.

How to Determine the Right Sleeve Size To find the right size, meticulously clean the shaft and measure the diameter of the undamaged section of the seal counterface in at least three different spots. The average of these measurements will dictate the required SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. If the value is within the acceptable range charted in the product table, the sleeve will fit snugly on the shaft without the need for any adhesive.

The SKF Speedi-Sleeve represents a swift and efficient way to rehabilitate worn shafts. It is significantly faster than traditional remetalizing or grinding methods and establishes an enhanced sealing system. Our thin-walled (0.011 inches or 0.28 mm) Speedi-Sleeves, crafted from high-quality stainless steel, provide a hardwearing contact surface that requires no costly machining prior to installation, minimizing downtime and ensuring swift application. With each sleeve supplied with a disposable installation tool, the process remains straightforward yet requires careful attention to detail for optimal results.
