SKF Speedi-Sleeve

This thin-walled sleeve [0.28 mm (0.011 in.)], developed by SKF, is simply pushed into position over the worn area, providing a surface optimised for radial shaft seals.

No shaft disassembly or machining is required, reducing costly downtime. Because the same seal size as the original can be used, there is no need to search for different seals or stock multiple sizes.
No special equipment is required because the installation tool is supplied with the sleeve. A hammer and pliers are required for installation.

Size range
The standard range covers sleeves for shaft diameters from 11.99 to 203.33 mm (0.472 to 8 in.). Depending on production quantities, non-standard sizes can be manufactured. Each sleeve is designed to fit a specific shaft diameter range, normally above and below the nominal shaft diameter. This provides some flexibility for variations in the actual shaft diameter.
