For shaft diameters ranging from 211,15 to 1 143 mm (8.313 to 45 in.) SKF offers wear sleeves for heavy industrial applications (design LDSLV4, fig 1) . The sleeves are made to order for shaft diameters within the primary ranges listed in the table.
LDSLV4 wear sleeves are recommended for applications where operating conditions for the seals are difficult, particularly where solid contaminants can reach the seals, like in rolling mills, primary metal plants and in chemical and mineral plants.
The sleeves are made of SAE 1008 chromium-plated carbon steel to enhance wear and corrosion resistance. The sleeve outside diameter is specially ground to provide a precision counterface surface for the seal. The wall thickness of the standard sleeves is 2,39 mm (0.094 in.).
