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

SPEEDI-SLEEVES cannot be re-used.

This speed sleeve is an essential component designed for effective bearing maintenance. It protects the bearing surface from wear, significantly prolonging its lifespan. This product is particularly advantageous for professionals in the mechanical and automotive sectors, offering a solution to prevent unnecessary damage in applications involving continuous rotation.

• Reduces friction and wear on bearings

• Simplifies installation and replacement processes
• Acts as a barrier against contamination and damage
• Enhances operational efficiency in machinery

• Protects rotating shafts in automotive
• Ideal for bearing protection in electric motors
• Used in high-speed rotary equipment to minimise maintenance
• Compatible with various bearing types

Routine inspections are sufficient, and it should be replaced if visibly damaged.

It works with most common bearing types across various industries.

It can be slid over the shaft, ensuring a snug fit against the bearing.

Yes, it is designed to perform effectively under high-speed conditions.

Lifespan can vary depending on the application but generally lasts long under normal conditions.
