FAQ

What types of shafts are compatible with this sleeve?

The sleeve is designed for shafts with a nominal diameter of 1.650 in (approximately 42 mm). It works with standard SKF shaft‑hub locking devices and can be used in most industrial couplings that specify this size.

Do I need any additional tools to install the sleeve?

No additional tools are required. The kit includes a purpose‑built installation tool that aligns the sleeve and applies the correct force, ensuring a secure fit without the need for wrenches or presses.

How does the sleeve perform under high‑torque conditions?

The hardened steel construction provides excellent torque transmission capability. In tests, the sleeve maintains its position and resists slippage even under peak load conditions typical of heavy‑duty machinery.

Is the kit covered by a warranty?

Yes, SKF offers a standard warranty that covers material and workmanship defects. Customers can contact SKF support for warranty claims or technical assistance.

Can the sleeve be reused after removal?

While the sleeve is designed for long‑term use, it can be removed and reinstalled if necessary. However, repeated removal may affect the surface finish, so it is recommended to inspect the sleeve for wear before reuse.
