Rotary Shaft Seals

Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals with Wiper Lip

These seals have a metal case that creates a tight seal when mating with smooth surfaces.

Bore-Sealing Spring-Loaded
Rotary Shaft Seals with Wiper Lip

Ribbed Buna-N over steel creates a tight seal with the bore, even when mating with a rough surface or in a split housing.

Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals

Also known as oil seals, use these to retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. A spring secures the lip against the shaft, preventing messy leaks. Press-fit seals into the bore around the shaft.

Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals for Misaligned Shafts

Designed with an extended lip, these seals have the flexibility to accommodate shaft misalignment up to 0.125". They're also known as clipper seals.

Rotary Shaft Seals for Grease

Also known as grease seals, these are designed to retain thick lubricant at low pressure. They have a light grip on the shaft that creates less friction than spring-loaded seals.

High-Speed Rotary Shaft Seals

A slippery PTFE surface allows these seals to function at speeds at least 25% faster than other rotary shaft seals.

Split Rotary Shaft Seals

Swap out old seals without disassembling components—these seals come split for easy installation. They're also known as clipper seals.

Shaft-Mounted Rotary Seals

Made from Buna-N for excellent resistance to oil and grease.

Heavy Duty Shaft-Mounted Rotary Seals

These seals are fluoroelastomer, so they have excellent chemical resistance and withstand temperatures up to 390° F.

Narrow-Profile Mechanical Pump
Shaft Seals with Extended Spring

With a smaller seal OD than standards seals, these seals have an extended spring that accommodates variations in seal cavity length.

Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals with Extended Spring

An extended spring on these seals accommodates variations in seal cavity length and pump misalignment.

Heavy Duty Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals

Multiple internal springs ensure these seals keep the sealing surfaces in contact in demanding applications, such as agricultural, chemical, and mining pumps.

Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals with Compact Spring

Built for small circulation and dispensing pumps, these seals have short springs.

Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals

These seals are commonly used in well, sump, and displacement pumps.

Mechanical Shaft Seals

Commonly used in mixing and grinding equipment, conveyors, and construction machinery, these two-part seals withstand exposure to abrasive material.

Rod and Piston Seals

O-Ring-Loaded U-Cup Seals

Also known as loaded-lip seals and PolyPaks, an O-ring secures these U-cups to the rod or piston for better sealing performance at lower pressures than unsupported U-cup seals.

High-Stability O-Ring-Loaded U-Cup Seals

Also known as Type B seals, these U-cups are wider than our other O-ring-loaded U-cup seals for better stability and fit in wider grooves.

Buna-N U-Cup Seals

These U-cup seals create less friction than O-ring-loaded U-cups, so they wear more slowly. Also known as lip seals, U-cups have a sealing lip on both the inside and outside edges, so they can be used for rod and piston sealing.

High-Pressure Leather U-Cup Seals

Rated for pressure up to 10,000 psi, these leather U-cups handle over 80 times more pressure than our Buna-N U-cups.

Spring-Loaded Seals

In addition to providing excellent sealing performance at low pressure, these seals withstand a wider range of temperatures and chemicals than U-cup seals. They’re also known as spring-energized seals.

High-Speed Piston Seals

PTFE gives these seals a slippery surface that allows rod speeds more than two times faster than our other piston seals.

High-Stability High-Speed Piston Seals

A square O-ring prevents these piston seals from rocking in the groove.

High-Pressure Hydraulic Cylinder Buffering Seals

Rated for pressure up to 10,000 psi, these seals withstand the highest pressure of our buffering seals.

High-Speed Hydraulic Cylinder Buffering Seals

PTFE gives these seals a slippery surface that facilitates rod speeds over seven times faster than our other buffering seals. They're rated for pressure up to 5,000 psi.
