SKF industrial shaft seals and accessories are divided into three main groups: Radial shaft seals Axial shaft seals and Wear sleeves. Different seal types within these groups are described with their respective design, materials and applications. Product descriptions are followed by product tables. It should be noted, however, that
Radial shaft seals sit between rotating and stationary components, or two components in relative motion. They have two main parts. One is a cylindrical outer covering with an interference fit that seals statically against the housing bore. The second, a sealing lip, seals dynamically and statically against the shaft.
Rotary shaft seals provide sealing and wiping functionality for rotating and swiveling movements under low pressure and high velocity. They perform two essential functions. The primary function is to retain the bearing or system lubricant in the system to avoid leakage.
A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft.
Jul 2, 2021 · Rotary shaft seals, also called oil seals or just shaft seals, are used to close and seal the gap between stationary and rotating components. They prevent oil leakage and make sure no contaminants go through the clearance.
Mar 1, 2001 · A guide to shaft seals. Machines require rotating shaft seals to retain lubricants and prevent foreign particles from entering sealed cavities, which damage machinery and lead to premature failure. By Joseph L. Foszcz, PE/CPE, Senior Editor, Plant Engineering Magazine March 1, 2001.
Shaft seals, also known as oil seals, are devices that prevent fluids from leaking out of machinery. They're typically made from a rubber or plastic material and are designed to fit around the shaft to create a barrier that keeps oil, grease and other fluids contained.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions offers a wide range of specialized Rotary Shaft Seals, including our best-in-class proprietary radial lip seal, Turcon® Varilip® PDR and high quality radial oil seals.
Industrial shaft seals are used to seal the opening between a rotating and a stationary component, or between two components in relative motion. To be effective, industrial shaft seals should operate with a minimum of friction and wear, even under unfavourable operating conditions.
Standard solid HS and HSS seals can accommodate shaft diameters starting at 165 mm (6.5 in.) but basically do not have an upper size limit. HS4 and HSS4 seals have a solid, all-rubber design and incorporate a spring-loaded sealing lip.
