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. 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.

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.
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.

Shaft-Mounted Rotary Seals
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 face plate. The Seal OD and Seal Width listed are the dimensions of the seal after it is installed.

Mechanical Pump Shaft Seals with Extended Spring
For use in waste water, boiler feed, and compressor pumps, these seals have an extra-long spring that accommodates variations in seal cavity length. They 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. Products cannot be sold outside North America due to restrictions.
Buna-N diaphragms and gaskets resist grease and a wide range of oils.
Carbon washers are for use with clean liquids.
Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

Cartridge Mechanical Seals
Install these seals faster and with less technical expertise than other mechanical shaft seals that come in two pieces. They come with their seal and seat already assembled. All have a carbon washer that is self-lubricating. However, this means their washer is too soft to be used with abrasive liquids and liquids with harsh additives.
Seals with a fluoroelastomer diaphragm can be used with a wider range of chemicals than EPDM diaphragms, including benzene, butyl alcohol, and fuels.
Seals with an EPDM diaphragm won’t break down from exposure to water and steam. However, they are for use with fewer chemicals.
