Understanding the SPEEDI-SLEEVE Installation Process
The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE offers a reliable solution for restoring worn shafts. To install it effectively, follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft and addressing any burrs or rough spots.

2. Measurements: Measure the diameter of an unworn section of the shaft at three different locations, averaging the results. Ensure the mean diameter fits within the recommended specifications for the sleeve size, providing a sufficient press fit without adhesive.

3. Positioning: Identify the location where the sleeve will cover the seal wear track, making precise measurements or markings. The sleeve should completely overlap the worn area and not merely rest flush with the end of the shaft.

4. Addressing Shallow Grooves: For shallow wear grooves, filling is unnecessary. Optionally, apply a thin coat of non-hardening sealant, like Loctite 209, to the sleeve's interior diameter. Remove any excess sealant that migrates to the shaft’s exterior.

5. Deeply Scored Shafts: For deeper grooves, use a powdered metal epoxy filler to fill in the damaged areas. Install the sleeve before the filler hardens, allowing it to remove excess material in the process.

6. Installation: Position the flange end of the sleeve over the shaft first. Use the installation tool, tapping gently in the center until the sleeve fully covers the worn surface. If needed, a piece of pipe can be used to extend the reach of the tool, ensuring care to avoid scratching the sleeve.

7. Flange Management: If the flange needs to be removed, do so carefully along the tear-off groove. Use pliers to bend the flange to detach it.

8. Final Checks: After installation, inspect for burrs that could harm the new seal and lubricate the sleeve with the system medium before sealing.

9. Determining Sleeve Size: To find the right sleeve size, clean the shaft and measure the diameter of an unworn section. The average of at least three measurements will indicate the appropriate SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. If it fits within the provided range, a secure fit will ensure effective sealing without requiring adhesives.

Conclusion
The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a quick, cost-effective solution to refurbish worn shafts, significantly quicker than traditional remetalizing or regrinding methods. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the thin wall (0.011 inches) and durable design create a sealing surface that surpasses the performance of many refurbished components. Installation is hassle-free, typically requiring only a few minutes to complete, minimizing downtime significantly. Each SPEEDI-SLEEVE kit comes equipped with an installation tool, making it an efficient choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
