What is a Wear Sleeve?

Because not all shafts are created equal, a TRITEC wear sleeve may be the answer! A wear sleeve is a custom engineered “bushing” that is manufactured to ensure the proper running surface for your TRITEC seal. The wear sleeve protects your shaft from unnecessary wear and, therefore, is an economical alternative to expensive shaft materials and heat treatment.

Depending on the severity of your application, we will select from a variety of materials and/or coatings that will withstand your application’s environment and ensure a successful sealing solution.
