How do you size a Speedi-sleeve?
To determine the appropriate sleeve size, it is first necessary to clean the shaft carefully. The diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface should then be measured on at least three different planes. The arithmetical mean of these measurements determines the size of SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE.
What are speedi sleeves?
SPEEDI-SLEEVE® THE SPEEDI-SLEEVE® CONCEPT. the quickest and sensible way. to repair worn shafts. To seal efficiently, radial shaft seals must run against a smooth round surface – the seal counterface.

A wear sleeve is a custom engineered “bushing” that is manufactured to ensure the proper running surface for your TRITEC seal. The wear sleeve protects your shaft from unnecessary wear and, therefore, is an economical alternative to expensive shaft materials and heat treatment.
What are speedi sleeves made of?
stainless steel
The new generation SKF Speedi-Sleeve uses a proprietary stainless steel material and manufacturing process, resulting in an optimized seal counterface surface that minimizes wear on both sleeve and sealing lip. The proprietary material provides increased strength and excellent ductility properties of the sleeve.
What is a sleeve and seal?
A Sleeve N Seal is a thin-walled metal ring ~1″ deep with an accompanying tube of “seal”. It comes with some timing cover gasket sets. To install it, you heat the ring up in the oven on 500 degrees for 10 minutes.
What is the longest lasting shaft sleeve material?
Keystone Hard Iron Shaft Sleeve Benefits: Longer Lasting than Carbon Steel Shaft Sleeves. Longer Packing Life = Less Downtime. No Coatings, No Coating Delamination.
What is a repair sleeve?
are metallic sleeves and are used as counterface replacement for radial shaft seals. Applications. Shaft repair sleeves are pushed onto shafts to repair the worn counterface for radial shaft seals. They are a quick and cost-effective alternative to replacing or often costly reworking of the shaft.
How is a Speedi-sleeve used to repair a sealing surface fault?
Low in cost, a SPEEDI-SLEEVE is slipped over the worn area quickly and easily, and provides a surface that is actually harder than that of a new shaft. The same size seal (as the one being replaced) fits snugly onto the new surface. And each SPEEDI-SLEEVE comes as a kit with a disposable installation tool.
