Speedi-Sleeves offer a sealing solution when machine shaft surfaces have been damaged or worn in operation. Made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, these wear sleeves eliminate the typical need to replace or rework shafts whose surfaces have been compromised by abrasion due to environmental contaminants, high pressures, speeds, or inadequate lubrication.

Speedi-Sleeves offer a sealing solution when machine shaft surfaces have been damaged or worn in operation. Made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, these wear sleeves eliminate the typical need to replace or rework shafts whose surfaces have been compromised by abrasion due to environmental contaminants, high pressures, speeds, or inadequate lubrication. They are mounted by pressing them over the damaged shaft surface. Power tools or heating is not required, and shafts can be up and running within minutes.
