Understanding the Installation of the SKF Speedi-Sleeve

To effectively install an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE, follow these detailed steps:

1. Preparation: Clean the seal counter surface on the shaft meticulously. Remove any burrs or rough edges using a file.

2. Measurement: Measure the diameter of the shaft at an unworn section where the sleeve will be placed. Take three measurements and average them to ensure they align with the recommended specifications. If the average diameter fits the designated sleeve size, the sleeve can be securely fitted without adhesive.

3. Positioning: Identify the precise location where the sleeve will cover the seal wear track. Ensure that the sleeve entirely covers the worn area and is not merely flush with the shaft's end.

4. Surface Treatment: For shallow grooves, filling isn’t necessary. Optionally, you can apply a light layer of non-hardening sealant, like Loctite 209, to the inside diameter of the sleeve. Clean off any excess that may migrate.

5. Deep Grooves: If the shaft shows deep scoring, fill these grooves with a powdered metal epoxy filler before installing the sleeve. This allows the sleeve to wipe away any excess filler during installation.

6. Installation: Start by placing the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft. Use the installation tool provided to gently tap the center until the sleeve covers the worn seal surface. If necessary, utilize a pipe to assist, ensuring it matches the tool’s diameter to avoid damaging the sleeve.

7. Flange Management: Keep the flange intact unless space constraints necessitate its removal. If it must be cut, do so perpendicular to the tear-off groove with metal shears to avoid damaging the sleeve surface.

8. Finish Up: After installing the sleeve, check for any burrs that could harm the seal. Lubricate the sleeve with the system fluid before proceeding to seal installation.

Choosing the Right Size

For selecting the appropriate sleeve size, ensure to clean the shaft thoroughly first. Measure the diameter at an undamaged section on multiple planes and calculate the average. If it falls within the acceptable range from the product specifications, the SKF Speedi-Sleeve will fit snugly without requiring any adhesive.

Advantages of SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a quick and efficient solution for refreshing worn shafts. It’s faster than remetalizing or regrinding while providing superior sealing capabilities. The product covers a wide range of shaft diameters, from 0.472” to 8” (12 mm to 200 mm) and boasts a thin-wall design made from high-quality stainless steel. Thanks to its wear-resistant surface, downtime is minimized as installation only takes minutes.

In essence, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE emerges as a cost-effective solution that can easily restore sealing surfaces, complemented by simplicity in installation, highlighted by the inclusion of a disposable tool in each kit.
