Application Bulletin Conforma Clad® Shaft Sleeves Download PDF here. (286 KB) ...last three to five times longer than other sleeves! Superior Sleeve Life The composition of tungsten carbide and nickel chrome boron produces a material that is extremely resistant to abrasive, corrosive and erosive wear. Conforma Clad® sleeves last three to five times longer than alternative sleeves. Increased Productivity Extended sleeve life results in fewer equipment shutdowns and component changes, lengthening run times between maintenance windows. Enhanced Pump Performance Decreased wear means less leakage flow on shaft seal sleeves and less frequent packing adjustments. Smoother Operation Reduced sleeve wear allows design clearances to be maintained longer. Unsurpassed Quality Standards Conforma Clad® sleeves are manufactured according to stringent quality standards that govern material selection, machining, infiltration brazing, surface finishing and packaging. Conforma Clad Technology Conforma Clad is a leading provider of severe wear solutions for industrial applications involving extreme abrasion, corrosion, erosion and thermal shock. Conforma Clad ® sleeves are effective in high-wear environments where sleeve failures are persistent problems.   Our infi ltration brazed tungsten carbide cladding is metallurgically bonded to OD sleeve surfaces. Conforma Clad’s cloth delivery system enables densely-packed tungsten carbide to be uniformly applied to complex geometries, providing a protective barrier that wears at a consistent and predictable rate. The result is a durable cladding that is extremely abrasion and corrosion resistant.   Conforma Clad ® sleeves last longer and are able to tolerate maximum equipment demands. They can also endure extreme side loading in the event of an equipment imbalance. The proven reliability of Conforma Clad® components has made us an industry favorite.   Custom Products   Conforma Clad offers a wide range of OD clad shaft sleeves to fit an assortment of pump sizes and confi gurations. Conforma Clad will work with you to develop a sleeve wear solution. In addition, our tungsten carbide wear protection can be applied to a variety of industrial components that are affected by abrasion, corrosion and thermal shock. Conforma Clad produces severe wear solutions for many industrial applications, including pump impellers, casings and suction plates, shaft sleeves, venturi nozzles, direct-clad fan components, fan wheel and housing wear liners, pulverizer components and conveyance equipment. Our team of application and materials engineers is available to evaluate your application and recommend a cost effective solution.   Sleeve Specifications .
