SKF 99175 Speedi Sleeve Kit 1.75in Shaft Stainless Steel 0.750in Width

Description

Product Overview

The SKF 991i5 Speedi Sleeve Kit is engineered for rapid shaft refurbishment, delivering a reliable solution for worn or damaged shafts measuring 1.75 inches in diameter. Each sleeve is fabricated from high‑grade thin‑walled stainless steel, a material chosen for its exceptional corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and inherent hardness that exceeds that of a newly machined shaft. The sleeve’s wall thickness of just 0.011 inches (0.28 mm) ensures a minimal increase in overall shaft diameter while providing a robust sealing surface that integrates seamlessly with existing seals and bearings. The kit includes a precision‑machined installation tool that aligns the sleeve accurately, reducing the risk of mis‑fit and guaranteeing repeatable results across multiple installations. Certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949 standards, the product meets stringent quality and environmental management criteria, reinforcing SKF’s reputation for durability and performance in demanding industrial environments.

Usage

This sleeve system is ideally suited for a broad range of applications where shaft downtime must be minimized. Typical use cases include refurbishment of motor shafts, pump shafts, gear‑driven equipment, and automotive crankshafts that have experienced wear on the sealing surface. The thin‑walled design allows the sleeve to be slipped over the worn area without the need for extensive machining or heat‑treatment processes, making it an attractive option for on‑site maintenance crews and workshop technicians alike. Because the sleeve is compatible with standard grease lubricants, it can be employed in environments ranging from high‑temperature industrial plants to marine applications where exposure to saltwater demands superior corrosion protection. The kit’s compact dimensions (4.4 × 4.5 × 1.9 in) and lightweight construction (0.01 oz) facilitate easy handling, storage, and transport to remote job sites.

FAQ

What shaft diameters are compatible with the Speedi Sleeve?

The Speedi Sleeve range covers shafts from 0.472 in (12 mm) up to 8 in (200 mm). This particular kit is sized for a 1.75 in (44.5 mm) shaft, providing a precise fit for that diameter.

Do I need special equipment to install the sleeve?

No special machinery is required. The kit includes a hand‑operated installation tool that aligns the sleeve accurately, allowing technicians to complete the installation with basic hand tools.

Can the sleeve be used with existing seals?

Yes. The sleeve’s outer surface is machined to match the original shaft dimensions, so the same seal model can be reused, ensuring a proper seal without additional modifications.

Is the sleeve suitable for high‑temperature applications?

Stainless steel maintains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making the sleeve appropriate for many high‑heat environments, provided the operating temperature stays within the material’s specifications.

What warranty does SKF provide for this product?

SKF offers a standard limited warranty that covers material and workmanship defects for a period defined by the distributor, typically one year from the date of purchase.
