Sealings are elements that are used to seal rotating shafts against liquid or gaseous media. In general, the medium to be sealed is a lubricating oil or grease.
They are available in different construction types, sizes and material qualities depending on the application.
The most important factors to consider when choosing a seal are:
– sealing medium;
– shaft speed;
– temperature;
– pressure;
– exposure to external dirt (dust, sand, etc.)
