Product Installation: How the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE Works

Installing an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a straightforward process:

Prepare the Shaft: Begin by cleaning the seal counter surface on the shaft. Remove any burrs or rough spots with a file.
Measure Diameter: Measure the diameter at an unworn section of the shaft in three different positions to ensure it meets recommended specifications. If the average falls within the acceptable range for the chosen sleeve size, the sleeve will fit securely without requiring adhesive.
Positioning the Sleeve: Identify the exact location for sleeve placement over the seal wear track and mark it if necessary. Ensure the sleeve covers the worn area rather than being flush with the shaft end.
Dealing with Wear Grooves: For shallow wear grooves, no filler is required; however, you may apply a thin layer of non-hardening sealant inside the sleeve. Clean off any excess sealant that spills onto the shaft or sleeve's outer diameter.
Addressing Deep Grooves: If the shaft has significant scoring, fill the groove with a powdered metal epoxy filler before installing the sleeve. The sleeve will help wipe off excess filler as it is positioned.
Installing the Sleeve: Place the flange end of the sleeve onto the shaft first, then position the installation tool over the sleeve.
Securing the Sleeve: Lightly tap the center of the installation tool until the sleeve adequately covers the worn seal surface. If the tool isn’t long enough, a pipe or tubing with a squared-off end can be used, ensuring it matches the tool's inside diameter.
Flange Handling: The flange should remain intact unless space constraints necessitate its removal. Cut it carefully using metal shears, and once positioned, use pliers to bend it back and forth until it breaks along the designated groove.
Final Checks: Post-installation, inspect for any burrs that might damage the seal.
Lubrication: Properly lubricate the sleeve with your system's medium before sealing installation.
Sizing the Sleeve: To determine the correct sleeve size, clean the shaft and measure the diameter of an undamaged section on three different planes. The average measurement indicates the appropriate SKF Speedi-Sleeve size. If it aligns within the permissible range listed in the product specifications, it will fit securely without adhesives.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE provides a rapid, effective solution for repairing worn shafts. It is faster than traditional remetalizing or regrinding methods and enhances sealing capabilities. Each sleeve comes with a disposable installation tool for your convenience.

Low in cost and easy to install, a SPEEDI-SLEEVE quickly slides over the damaged area, creating a sealing surface that is harder than that of a new shaft. Each installation is simple yet requires careful handling to ensure optimal results.
