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


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

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.

Rotary Shaft Seals for Grease


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

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.

Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals for Misaligned Shafts


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

Designed with an extended lip, these seals have the flexibility to accommodate shaft misalignment up to 0.125". Also known as clipper seals, they retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. A spring secures the lip to prevent leaks. Press-fit seals into the housing bore around the shaft; they fit tight for installation without a cover plate.

Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals with Wiper Lip


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

Used to retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes, these seals have a secondary lip that blocks contaminants. 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.

Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

High-Speed Rotary Shaft Seals


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

A slippery PTFE surface allows these seals to function at speeds at least 25% faster than other rotary shaft seals. Also known as oil seals, use these to retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. An O-ring secures the lips to prevent leaks, while sealing against the housing. 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.

Heavy Duty Shaft-Mounted Rotary Shaft Seals


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

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.

Shaft-Mounted Rotary Shaft Seals


Side 1	Side 2	Profile

Also known as V-rings and flingers, these seals protect shaft bearings by blocking dust and other contaminants while retaining lubricant. They’re Buna-N for excellent resistance to oil and grease. To install, stretch the seal over your shaft and press it firmly against the faceplate. The Seal OD and Seal Width listed are the dimensions of the seal after it is installed.

Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

Shaft Repair Sleeves

Also known as speedi sleeves, use these to repair and protect worn shafts for a smooth sealing surface without machining. Each sleeve comes with an installation tool. To install, place the installation tool around the sleeve and gently tap the installation tool until the sleeve covers the worn shaft surface.
