SKF Radial Shaft Seals

SKF Radial Shaft Seals are engineered to offer exceptional sealing reliability in demanding industrial environments. Known for their innovative lip designs, advanced materials, and outstanding pump rate performance, SKF Radial Shaft Seals help retain lubrication and exclude contaminants, ensuring longer equipment life and minimal downtime.

Technical Properties

SKF Radial Shaft Seals are built with high-performance elastomers including NBR, HNBR, FKM, and PTFE, each tailored for specific chemical, thermal, and mechanical demands. The lip materials exhibit top-tier wear resistance, with SKF Duralife (FKM) and PTFE options handling extreme temperatures and aggressive fluids. These seals also feature:
  • SKF Wave Lip technology for superior oil pumping
  • Edge Sealing Systems with advanced surface features
  • Speedi-Sleeve Compatibility for worn shaft restoration
  • Bore-Tite Coating on metal OD seals for better bore sealing
Their operating temperature range spans from –70°C to 250°C, depending on material, and can accommodate pressures up to 50 psi with specific designs like CRWA5.

Usage

SKF Radial Shaft Seals are used in a wide range of applications:
  • Industrial gearboxes
  • Electric motors and pumps
  • Paper and steel mills
  • Agricultural and construction machinery
  • Transmissions and drive systems
They are ideal for both grease and oil retention and are capable of handling dynamic runout, shaft misalignment, and pressure fluctuations, making them versatile across industries.
