New Generation SKF Speedi Sleeve

M Barnwell Service’s SKF Speedi-Sleeve is a well-proven solution to overcome problems with worn shafts, without having to disassemble the shaft or specifying a new size of the replacement seal, while offering an excellent sealing surface.

The SKF Speedi-Sleeve combines a proprietary stainless-steel material and manufacturing process, resulting in an optimized seal counterface surface that minimizes wear on both the sleeve and sealing lip. The proprietary material provides increased strength and excellent ductility properties of the sleeve. Imperceptible lubricant pockets enable the lubricant to reside on the sleeve and thereby prevent the dry running of the sealing lip that otherwise can create excessive wear.

Materials

Stainless Steel, Gold

The sleeves are thin-walled [0,28 mm (0.011 in.) and the contact surface is wear resistant and manufactured to minimise directionality (0° ±0,05), with a finish of Ra 0,25 to 0,5μm (10 to 20 μin.)
The Gold SKF Speedi-Sleeve increases durability and surface hardness (80-85 HRC)

Applications

The new generation of SKF Speedi-Sleeve is also available in the Gold version, designed for highly abrasive applications. A thin, metallic coating applied to the base stainless steel imparts a gold colour and significantly increases durability. SKF Speedi-Sleeve Gold is particularly effective in environments where there are abrasive contaminants, especially when combined with a seal manufactured from the SKF fluoro rubber material SKFDuralife. This sealing system solution lasted 2 500 hours in a contamination test. The installation procedure is common to both SKF Speedi-Sleeve designs and the original seal size can still be used. All sleeves listed in the product tables starting on page 8 can be manufactured as SKF Speedi-Sleeve Gold.
