The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a fast and effective way to refinish worn shafts, providing an improved sealing system. The outside surface of an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE forms an ideal sealing surface, as many popular regrinding and refinishing techniques produce a surface that cannot be properly sealed.

To determine the appropriate sleeve size, it is first necessary to clean the shaft carefully and measure the diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface on at least three different planes. The arithmetical mean of these measurements determines the size of the SKF Speedi-Sleeve, and if the value lies within the permissible range listed in the product table for the shaft diameter, the SKF Speedi-Sleeve will have an adequate tight fit on the shaft and will not require an adhesive.

The standard range of SKF SPEEDISLEEVE sizes covers shaft diameters from .472" to 8" (12 mm to 200 mm), and the sleeves are thin-walled (0.011" or 0.28 mm) and made of high-quality stainless steel. The contact surface is wear-resistant with a finish of Ra 10 to 20 µin (0.25 to 0.5 µm), and no expensive machining or preparation is required before mounting.

Installation is simple but must be done with care to ensure proper results. An installation tool is packaged with every sleeve, and the process involves cleaning the seal counter surface, measuring the shaft diameter, determining the proper positioning of the sleeve, and installing the sleeve using the provided tool. Shallow wear grooves do not require filling, but deeply scored shafts may need a powdered metal epoxy type filler before installing the sleeve.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a low-cost solution that can be quickly and easily installed, providing a surface that is actually harder than that of a new shaft. This allows the same size seal (as the one being replaced) to fit snugly onto the new surface, reducing downtime and providing an effective way to refinish worn shafts.
