For oil and grease applications. Typical applications: electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, runout table, work rolls, paper rolls, mixers, and custom equipment.

Shaft seals prevent lubricants from escaping the bearings andunwanted contaminants from entering machinery. They are vital components in mechanical equipment.Depending on your application, you will have chosen a suitable material. If you’re unsureaboutwhich material is right for you,Industrial Seals Expert offers guidancein that area, too.

Due to the delicate nature of some shaft seals,theyshould be handled with extreme care. When removingonefromitspackaging, avoid touching the seal with any sharp tools. Following careful removal, perform an inspection of the seal using a flashlight. This will reveal any discrepanciesor deterioration that may have occurred in transitor storage.If yourspecificsealdesignrequires a garterspring,you should check to be sure that the spring hasn’t been displaced out of its groove.

Industrial Seals Expertrecommendsa clean working environment when performing any installationorreplacement.It is particularly important that thearea is free from dust, dirt,and othercontaminates.If any sediment comesinto contact with the garter spring, seal, or the components that they protect, this could lead to premature failure and interrupted operation.The area should also be free from ozone-producing equipment, such as electric motors.

SKF recommends coating both shaft and seal with a thin layer of lubrication to help facilitate installation. This is essential for rubber–covered seals.For metal-cased shaft seals, the bore must be lubricatedbut it is not imperative that the seal is.Seals with an auxiliary, contacting lip can also belubricatedbetween the sealing lip and auxiliary lip to reduce frictionduring the installation. This does not apply to silicone rubber seals and seals with hydrodynamic features,other thanSKF WAVE lip designs.

If your seal will be used in heavy industrial applications, it might be that it is surrounded by a metal case.This type of seal may not necessitate a special installation tool, nor would it be practical to use one. Instead,the metal-cased sealshouldbe knocked in using a dead blow hammer and a wooden block which sits over the seal(see graphic below).This ensures full energy transfer with little impact.Apply hammerblows evenly and sequentiallyto prevent the seal from skewing or tilting as it is falling into place.

It is also important to remember that our guide should be only used as a reference alongside manufacturers instructions. There are many types of shaft seals for different applications. Always contact your supplier if you are unsure.

Split Clipper® Oil Seals have the same superior characteristics as solid general purpose Clipper Oil Seals, but are factory-split at one place in the circumference. This permits installation over the side of a shaft, rather than over the end, and often can save dismantling the equipment in order to replace the existing rotary shaft seal.

Solid Clipper Oil Seals should be used whenever practical to provide maximum bearing protection in rotating shaft applications. However, installing a solid seal in a failed application can be costly and time consuming. In such cases, Split Clipper Oil Seals can be used to minimize unscheduled downtime, specifically where equipment cannot be uncoupled. These seals will provide long and efficient service until major or scheduled machine overhaul permits convenient installation of a regular non-split seal.

Split Clipper Oil Seals are available in Series R, RPD and RUP profiles, depending upon shaft diameter. RUP and RPD profiles are general purpose spring loaded with a single lip and are widely used as replacement seals because they provide superior bearing protection and embody a unique principle of design. The tough, dense outer case and a soft, flexible lip are concentrically molded as a single unit. The seal"s nonmetallic outer case forms a leak-free, press fit in the housing, conforming to minor surface irregularities.

abstractNote = {Failure of a liner seal is one of the more critical failures on a mud pump because this seal interfaces with the pump body. Therefore, failures, usually damage the pump body, leading to repair or replacement of the fluid end itself. One of the more common liner seal problems involves counter-bore-type seals. This type of seal is easily affected by two aspects of the problem that are found in the mud pump fluid end-wear and foreign matter in the seal groove. Factors relative to difficult liner removal are discussed. Piston damage, careless seal installation and corrosion damage are also examined.},
