SPEEDI-SLEEVE SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVES offer a cost-effective sealing solution when machine shaft surfaces have been damaged or worn in operation. SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVES eliminate the typical need to replace or rework damaged shafts caused by abrasion due to environmental contaminants, high pressures, speeds or inadequate lubrication. Shafts can be up and running within minutes, at a fraction of the cost of traditional reworking. The standard SPEEDI-SLEEVES size range covers shaft diameters from 11.91 to 203.33mm (0.472 to 8 in)
Each SPEEDI-SLEEVE, metric or imperial, is designed to fit a specific shaft range, usually above and below the nominal shaft diameter. This permits some flexibility to accommodate variations in the actual shaft size
SPEEDI-SLEEVES are made of stainless steel and their extremely thin walls (0.28mm/.011 in.) allow users to retain the original seal size. All SPEEDI-SLEEVES feature a removable installation flange for easy mounting using a tool supplied with each sleeve
The flange can be retained or removed (if necessary) for clearance purposes - a pre-cut tear-groove is provided
