TRU-GUARD® BEARING SEAL

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
TRU-GUARD® Bearing Seal is a non-contact, virtually zero-torque seal designed for railcar bearings. It features a pure labyrinth design with no lip contact, ensuring positive grease retention and exceptional prevention of water and contaminant ingress.

Key Features:
  • Utilizes the insert and rotor concept from the Brenco® Efficiency Plus® seal.
  • Incorporates Amsted Rail’s new slinger/shroud concept.
  • Maintains low bearing temperatures by adding zero heat to the system.
  • Received AAR unconditional approval for Class E, F, & G Bearings.

Functionality:
The seal operates using centrifugal force, which directs grease back into the reservoir and prevents contaminants from entering the seal’s labyrinth. The rotating slinger/shroud effectively expels water spray and contaminants.

Company Background:
Amsted Rail is a global leader in integrated freight car systems, providing innovative and reliable railcar components since 1877. The company operates facilities across six continents.

Availability:
The TRU-GUARD® Bearing Seal is available for popular bearing sizes, including Class-K, Class-F, Class-E, Ausbrid Plus™ (Short-G), and MEGA-TONNE® with dimensions 130 x 230 and 150 x 250.
