    Ribbed Buna-N over steel creates a tight seal with the bore, even when mating with a rough surface or in a split housing. Also known as oil seals, these retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. They have a secondary lip that blocks contaminants and a spring that secures the sealing-lip to prevent leaks. Press-fit seals into the bore around the shaft. Seals with a maximum pressure of 145 psi should be secured with a retaining ring.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

    Also known as grease seals, these are designed to retain thick lubricant at low pressure in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. They have a light grip on the shaft that creates less friction than spring-loaded seals. Press-fit seals into the bore around the shaft.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.
    Acrylic-Coated Case—Seals with an acrylic-coated case have a coating that compensates for surface imperfections in the housing bore for a tight seal on the OD.

Also known as oil seals, a spring secures the lip against the shaft, preventing messy leaks. Press-fit seals into the bore around the shaft. Seals with a maximum pressure of 50 psi should be secured with a retaining ring.

    These seals are fluoroelastomer, so they have excellent chemical resistance and withstand temperatures up to 390° F. Also known as V-rings and flingers, they protect shaft bearings by blocking dust and other contaminants while retaining lubricant. To install, stretch the seal over your shaft and press it firmly against the face plate.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

    Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals with Compact Spring

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Exploded view. Contains Annotated. Shaft Seals. Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals with Compact Spring.
    Built for small circulation and dispensing pumps, these seals have short springs. The spring-loaded design keeps the sealing surfaces in contact as the material wears. Seals come furnished as two pieces—the seal and the seat. The seal is comprised of the case, spring, diaphragm, and washer, which come locked together as one piece. Seal Width represents the working height, which is the compressed length when installed. The seat is comprised of the seat and the gasket.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously. For example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.
    Viton® Fluoroelastomer Diaphragm—Viton® fluoroelastomer diaphragms resist a wider range of chemicals than Buna-N.
