Heavy-duty single-lip oil seal

Heavy-duty single-lip rotary shaft seal design for use in harsh and severe environments and shock loads. 

Designed to handle harsh or arduous conditions where most seals have a short life.  This style has higher shaft run-out and misalignment than traditional oil seals.  Available in many metal and lip materials, this seal can handle high speed runout or pressurized chemicals.  It utilizes press-in fitment for open seal housing.  This seal design eliminates spring dumping, and provides protection for the sealing lip during installation.  It can be retrofitted to replace standard seals.
