Overview
The Chicago Rawhide 99832 Speedi-Sleeve is a precision-engineered shaft repair sleeve manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. This thin-walled sleeve is designed to restore worn or damaged shaft surfaces, creating a new sealing surface for radial shaft seals without requiring shaft removal, regrinding, or seal size changes. The 99832 fits shafts with diameters of 1.872–1.878 inches and is widely used across industrial pumping, compressor, and rotating equipment applications.
Key Features
- Thin-walled construction (0.28 mm / 0.011 inch) for precise fit without adhesive
- AISI 304 stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance and durability
- Removable flange simplifies installation and minimizes friction
- Engineered contact surface with Ra finish of 0.25–0.5 µm for optimal seal seating
- Includes installation tool for fast, reliable setup (installation typically under 5 minutes)
- Imperceptible lubricant pockets prevent dry running of sealing lip
