Keep your shafts smooth and strong for a long time. Our premium SKF wear sleeves give shafts a fresh new look, allowing them to work like new. The sleeve is thin, light and quick to use.
Shafts deal with dust, dirt, heat, heavy work, and long hours every day. All these things slowly scratch the surface, making it rough. When the seal comes into contact with a rough or damaged spot, it can no longer retain oil effectively. This leads to leaks, hot parts, seal damage, and sudden machine stops. SKF wear sleeves makes the whole job much easier and lighter. seal surface right away. fits snugly.
Worn shafts make seals leak, waste oil, and stop machines without warning. SKF wear sleeves, fix these issues quickly with minimal effort. Here is why people like using them.
This sleeve is a great choice for a strong and safe cover for shafts that are about 63.5 mm in diameter. Because of its wide, calm, and stable shape, it stays perfectly still and undisturbed. Putting it on is easy, and it fits snugly but comfortably on the shaft. The machine runs at full capacity every day, but it greatly reduces wear and keeps the seal secure for a long time. The sleeve isn't hard to wear because it's not heavy and keeps its shape.
This sleeve fits shafts that are 64.92 mm to 65.07 mm wide and wraps tightly, neatly, and securely around them. It protects them from dirt and wear and tear. It protects the shaft by covering it with a soft and hard coating that keeps it smooth for longer and slows down wear. It's easy to set up because it's small and easy to carry. It keeps the shaft from getting worn out from regular use and small dings and scratches.
This sleeve fits snugly on shafts that are about 60.33 mm in diameter, and it gives you a clean, comfortable grip right away. Because of its small size, it slides on in just a few seconds with very little effort. The wide grip keeps dust, dirt, and other particles away from the seal, which keeps your machine clean. Because it is light, it doesn't put any extra stress on the parts, which helps the machine run quietly and efficiently.
This sleeve is a good choice for shafts that are about 69.85 mm in diameter. Its wide front makes it easier to keep dust and dirt from getting on the shaft, and it offers deep, strong protection. The machine's huge outside protects it well, no matter how hard the job is or how long it runs. The width makes it fit snugly and comfortably, which is perfect for making a solid seal without any gaps
You don't have to remove the shaft or disassemble the machine. You slide the sleeve over the worn part. This saves a considerable amount of time.
The sleeves are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which effectively resists rust, heat, and wear. The smooth face helps the seal run longer and with less trouble.
Cutting or replacing a shaft can be costly. These sleeves are significantly cheaper and prevent many lengthy repair jobs.
The sleeve can be installed with simple hand tools. No special equipment is needed. The same seal size still works.
Both types give a smooth, strong, and long‑lasting surface for seals. Regardless of the size of your shaft, SKF has a sleeve that suits your needs.
These thin sleeves (about 0.28 mm) are made from strong stainless steel. They fit shafts up to 203 mm in diameter. You can choose flanged or non‑flanged types. Their slim shape allows you to use the same seal size without any changes. SKF offers a wide range of sizes, allowing you to find one that fits perfectly.
These are designed for large shafts exceeding 8 inches (203 mm). They utilise thicker stainless steel and are intended for use in heavy, dirty, or harsh work environments. They fit shafts up to around 1,150 mm. You can choose between flanged (LDSLV3) and non-flanged (LDSLV4) options. Each one is made to order and works well for long, demanding jobs.
Large SKF wear sleeves in places such as mills, mines, steel plants, and cement factories face extremely harsh conditions. Dust, grit, heat, and load can quickly harm the shaft. SKF LDSLV sleeves are designed to withstand these harsh conditions. They accommodate huge shafts and can be manufactured in custom sizes and lengths to meet your exact needs. They help you avoid the enormous cost and lengthy time required to rebuild large shafts or gearboxes. keeps large machines stable, smooth, and less likely to stop.

The tool provides a list of sleeves that match your shaft, along with their prices and lead times. You can compare sizes, check details, and pick the best option quickly. This eliminates guesswork, saves time, and makes the choice easy. If you need assistance at any time, our support team is available to guide you.
These machines operate for extended periods and frequently cause scratches on the shaft surface. A sleeve provides the seal with a clean, smooth surface and prevents leaks.
These machines face dust, dirt, bumps, and shocks. Sleeves can be installed on‑site to keep work moving.
These machines handle dust, fluids, and operate over extended periods. A sleeve gives a rigid surface that helps cut leaks and wear.
Big shafts face heat, force, and dirt every day. LDSLV sleeves help protect them and keep seals working.
Prop shafts and generators utilise sleeves to prevent lengthy and costly repair work.
When a shaft starts to wear down, it can cause numerous minor problems that worsen over time. To fix this, you have several repair options:
Choosing a new shaft or undergoing a full rebuild takes the most time and incurs the highest costs. A new shaft needs to be made from scratch, which means the machine must stop working until it arrives.
This option costs less than purchasing a new shaft but still requires a significant amount of time, care, and skill. The machine must be taken apart, the shaft must be removed, and then it must be sent to a workshop.
This is often the quickest and lowest‑cost repair. You do not need to remove the shaft or take apart the machine. The sleeve slides over the worn area, providing the seal with a new, smooth surface to run on.
This option is the least expensive initially, but it is only effective if the shaft damage is minimal and shallow. If the shaft has deeper marks, lines, or scratches, the new seal will start leaking again after a short time.

Here is an easy step‑by‑step guide to installing an SKF Speedi‑Sleeve.
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the shaft. Examine the worn area closely to determine its size. Measure the shaft to choose the correct sleeve size. Cleaning and measuring slowly and carefully helps the sleeve fit better and last longer.
After cleaning, slide the sleeve gently onto the shaft. Ensure it does not scratch. Push it until the sleeve fully covers the worn spot. If the sleeve has a flange, ensure it remains clear and does not come into contact with any other part.
Use the installation tool provided with the sleeve, or lightly tap it with a soft mallet. Tap slowly around the edge so the sleeve moves straight and smooth. When the sleeve is in a flat position, it will remain firm and steady.

The gold sleeve has a protective coating that protects it from pebbles, sand, dust, muck, and other rough things. It likes dry places like farms, mines, or the coast best. A normal, clean place where the standard sleeve might be useful is inside motors or pumps.
The stainless steel they are made of is strong, quick, and won’t rust. They are small, but they can really hurt. The seal slides easily, and the combination keeps the metal from wearing away.
You don’t need big metal tools or a lathe. The sleeve package often comes with a small press tool. Also, all you might need is a small pair of pliers and a light hammer.
There could be a big difference. Building a new shaft often requires a lot of people, lift rigs, big take-downs, and long hours. You can mostly avoid these problems by wearing a Speedi-Sleeve. It usually only takes 30 minutes or less.

Cleanliness is the first step to a long life. Wash the area around the seal. The “by the book” rule makes sure that oil or grease is added at the right time. Check the seal and replace it if necessary as part of your regular maintenance schedule.
I put a sleeve on an old motor shaft. It slid on real fast. I saw no leaks in less than a min. I kept the same seal. It saved me a full 24 hours of hard work. It felt like magic.
We slid it onto a pump shaft in our plant. The fix was smooth. The line stopped for a small bit. I just wish they had a wider edge part, but still, it was a top win.
I do fixes in the open field. No shop. No extra crew. Just hand tools. Tap it on. Swap seal. Done. The belt hub shaft ran full shift on the same work day. No oil drip. Great win.
The kit came with a small press tool. The steps were so short and easy. The whole fix was about 15–20 min. I was done before my coffee got cool. Very happy.
This sleeve saved our old press motor line. It slid on clean. It was a one-try fix for oil block. No redo. No mess. If you fix old rigs, this part is a must buy.
The seal team loves these sleeves now. We thought we may need a new seal size, but we reused the old seal. It fit fine. No leaks. Big time save. Clean finish.
