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 for improving the longevity of bearings in mechanical systems. It is specifically designed to suit various bearing applications, serving to provide a hardened surface that reduces wear and maintains operational efficiency. This product is particularly useful in the automation, electronics, and mechanical industries, where consistency and performance are crucial.

• Prolongs bearing life by minimising wear
• Maintains performance through precise tolerances
• Simplifies the installation process, conserving time and effort

• Utilised in industrial machinery to reduce friction
• Employed in electronic systems for movement control

Proper installation involves ensuring the surface is clean and dry, then carefully positioning the sleeve without forcing it.

Yes, it is designed to perform effectively in high-speed environments while maintaining structural integrity.

Compatibility can be confirmed by checking the inner and outer diameter specifications and ensuring alignment with the mechanical components in use.

While it is versatile, compatibility is contingent on the specific sizes and configurations of the bearings used
