Speedi-Sleeve wear sleeves

A Speedi-Sleeve is a thin-wall stainless steel sleeve pressed onto the shaft to give the seal lip a new running surface. Use it when the seal has cut a groove and the shaft no longer seals reliably, and you do not want to pull or replace the shaft. It comes with an installation flange that is taken off after fitting.

SKF part numbers are plain numbers with no prefix: 99049, 99050, 99052, 99055, 99058 and 99059, each matched to one shaft diameter. So what you need to choose one is the shaft diameter in the seal area, measured at the groove, and the width of the seal that will run on the sleeve.

It is used on pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, drives, rolls and process machinery where changing the shaft is not easy. Before fitting it, inspect the shaft: burrs, scoring or deep wear call for dressing the surface first. The sleeve covers the groove and gives the seal a smooth, even surface to run on.

We carry SKF in this line. Send the sleeve part number, or the shaft diameter measured with calipers plus a photo of the seal and shaft, by WhatsApp or email, and we will quote promptly.
