SPEEDI-SLEEVES This thin-walled sleeve [0,25 mm (0.01 in.)], is simply pushed in position over the worn area on a shaft, providing a counter-face surface that is optimized for radial shaft seals.There is no shaft disassembly or machining involved and costly downtime is minimized. Since the same sized seal as the original can be used, there is no need to search for other seals, or keep a stock of different sizes. No special equipment is required since the installation tool is supplied with the sleeve. A mallet and a pair of pliers are all that is needed for the installation. Size rangeThe standard size 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, usually above and below the nominal shaft diameter. This permits some flexibility to accommodate variations in the actual shaft diameter. Features The new generation Speedi-Sleeve uses a proprietary stainless steel material and manufacturing process, resulting in an optimized seal counter-face surface that minimizes wear on both sleeve and sealing lip. The proprietary material provides increased strength and excellent ductility properties of the […] read more
