SIMSITE® Composite Sleeves

Simsite® Sleeves are 100% Machined from solid blocks of the patented Simsite® Structural Composite manufactured to meet your specifications and can be made in several different grades of Simsite® materials.

  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Erosion Resistance
  • Longer Life Cycle
  • Light Weight
  • Better Wear Resistance
  • Self-Lubricating
  • Protects the Shaft
  • Better Sealing

SIMSITE® ENGINEERED STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE SLEEVES

There is absolutely no reason to use metallic shaft sleeves when you can use SIMSITE® Structural Composite Carbon Fiber Sleeves, which not only protect the shaft, but they are light weight, and seal better against the O-rings of the mechanical seals.

Simsite® Engineered Structural Composite Sleeves, will not corrode in seawater, brine, waste water, sewage, bromine, or chlorinated water and are excellent with most acid and alkaline solutions. All grades of SIMSITE® Sleeves have self-lubricating qualities, which allow for tighter clearances and prevents excessive shaft movement.

Sims manufactures sleeves machined from solid blocks of our patented engineered SIMSITE® Structural Graphite Composite material made of graphite fibers continuously interwoven in a tri-dimensional weave with a hybrid epoxy/phenolic resin system.
 

SIMS PUMP also offers several other grades of engineered structural composite sleeves. The SIMSITE® sleeve seen in the picture to the left utilizes a continuously interwoven synthetic fiber reinforcement system with Molybdenum Disulfide as a lubricant.

All of our engineered sleeves are 100 percent machined from solid blocks of SIMSITE® structural composite, and are capable of continuous operation at over 300 degrees Fahrenheit. All grades of SIMSITE® possess excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance.

ADVANTAGES OF SIMSITE® SLEEVES:

  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Eliminates Electrolysis
  • Exceptional Mechanical Strength
  • Light Weight
  • Increases Operating Lifetime
  • Seals Better against the Mechanical Seal
  • Can Take Dry Starts
  • Wears Better Against Guide Bearings

Contrary to metal sleeves, SIMSITE® Composite Sleeves allow for easy installation and removal. They are protective of the shaft against corrosion, electrolysis and wear and form a much better seal with Mechanical Seals.

Set screws, threads, or a keyway can be installed into SIMSITE® Composite Sleeves to prevent them from moving on the shaft. Compatibility with a wide range of chemicals allows for the use of SIMSITE® Composite Sleeves in a vast variety of environments. The structural integrity of our sleeves allows for usage with multiple grades of O-rings or gaskets. All SIMSITE® Structural Composite Sleeves are precision-machined on CNC Machining Centers to meet the most stringent specifications.
