Product Description: The SKF Speedi-Sleeve Installation Guide
Installing an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a successful application of this innovative product:
Preparation: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Ensure all burrs and rough spots are filed down.
Measurements: Measure the diameter of the unworn section of the shaft at three different points and calculate the average. This will ensure that the shaft's dimensions are within the recommended specifications for the sleeve size you intend to use.
Positioning the Sleeve: Identify the correct position for the sleeve to cover the worn seal track. Make precise measurements or mark directly on the shaft surface, ensuring the sleeve will adequately cover the wear area.
Addressing Shallow Grooves: If the grooves are shallow, no filling is required, although a thin application of non-hardening sealant (like Loctite 209) can be useful. Avoid allowing any sealant to migrate to areas that may interfere with the sleeve's outer diameter.
Dealing with Deep Grooves: For deeper scores, fill the groove with a powdered metal epoxy filler before installing the sleeve to ensure a smooth interface.
Installation: Insert the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft first, then position the installation tool over the sleeve.
Tapping Technique: Gently tap the center of the installation tool until the sleeve adequately covers the worn area. If the tool is short, you can substitute it with a pipe or tubing.
Flange Handling: Leave the flange intact unless clearance issues arise. If you need to remove it, make a careful cut along the tear-off groove with metal shears.
Final Checks: After the sleeve is installed, check for any burrs that could damage the new seal.
Lubrication: Lubricate the sleeve with the relevant system medium before proceeding with seal installation.
Determining Your Size: To find the appropriate sleeve size, clean the shaft and measure the diameter of an undamaged section at multiple angles. The average measurement will guide your selection; ensure it falls within the permissible range for the desired Speedi-Sleeve to guarantee a proper fit without the need for adhesive.
The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE represents a quick and effective method for refining worn shafts, being faster than traditional remetalizing or regrinding techniques. Its thin-walled design (0.011” or 0.28 mm) is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, featuring a wear-resistant surface finishing that accommodates easy mounting without the need for expensive preparatory work. Installation is quick, requiring only a few minutes to complete.
SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVES are cost-effective and provide a reliable sealing surface that is even harder than a new shaft, designed for seamless compatibility with standard replacement seals. Each SPEEDI-SLEEVE kit includes a disposable installation tool for your convenience, ensuring a simple yet effective installation process.
