Product catalog summary
Overview
Radial shaft seals are designed for use in rotating machine elements such as shafts, hubs, and axles. They provide both static and dynamic sealing against various media. Common applications include powertrain technology, agricultural and construction machinery, wind turbines, and shipbuilding.

Design and Materials
Dichtomatik offers radial shaft seals in various designs and materials, tailored to specific applications and operating conditions such as media, temperature, shaft speed, and pressure. The standard seal comprises an elastomer part, a stiffening ring, and a tension spring. Options include protective lips, double seal lips, and special designs upon request. Available materials include NBR, FKM, and PTFE, with standard or stainless steel for springs and rings.

Sealing Materials
  • NBR (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber): Excellent wear resistance, suitable for mineral oils and greases.
  • FKM (Fluororubber): Resistant to aging, ozone, and chemicals; suitable for high temperatures and speeds.
  • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): High resistance to ozone and chemicals, low friction, suitable for dry running and thermal applications.

Installation and Assembly
The contact surfaces of the shaft and housing affect sealing performance. The shaft surface should be free of twists with specific roughness values. Proper mounting devices are necessary to avoid damage during assembly.

Special Designs
Special designs include WAK, WAG, WAX, WAD, and WBD, each with unique features such as grooved outer sheaths and protective lips.

Technical Specifications
Specifications vary by profile type, material, hardness, temperature range, circumferential speed, and pressure. For example, WA type seals are available in NBR and FKM, with temperature ranges from -40°C to +150°C and speeds up to 34 m/s.

RADIAL SHAFT SEALS-1

Radial shaft seals RADIAL SHAFT SEALS Radial shaft seals are suited for use on rotating machine elements, such as shafts, hubs and axles. They are used to seal against a wide variety of media statically and dynamically. Typical fields of application include powertrain technology, agricultural and construction machinery, wind turbines, ship-building and other areas of application in the manufacture of machines and devices. Radial shaft seals from the Dichtomatik brand are offered in various designs and materials. The selection of the right option depends on the application and the prevailing operating conditions (media, temperature, the shaft's circumferential speed, and pressure). The standard version consists of an elastomer part, a stiffening ring and a tension spring. Many designs are also available with a protective lip, which also seals off dirt from the exterior. Other configurations such as a double seal lip, seal lips with twist elements, a grooved outer sleeve, and all possible special designs are available on request. The broad array of radial shaft seals can be provided in the standard elastomer materials NBR (black), FKM (brown), and PTFE. Besides standard steel for the spring and stiffening ring, various stainless steel grades are available on request. DIMENSIONS The currently available dimensions can be found on our website dichtomatik.fst.com or on our online ordering platform EASY. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) • High resistance to ozone, weathering and age • Very low coefficient of friction • Broad chemical resistance • Suited for defective lubrication and dry running • Suited for a broad range of thermal applications INSTALLATION SPACE AND ASSEMBLY Contact surfaces of the shaft and the housing have an impact on sealing functions. As a result, they must meet certain requirements. The surface of the shaft should be ground to the point that it is free of twists and has a surface roughness of Rz = 1 to 4 pm and Rmax <6.3 pm. The roughness values Rz = 10 to 20 pm and Rmax < 25 pm should be observed to ensure the shaft seal's secure seat in the housing bore. To avoid damage to the shaft seal during assembly, appropriate mounting devices must be used, e.g. mounting sleeves. SPECIAL DESIGNS • WAK • WAG • WAX • WAD • WBD SEALING MATERIALS NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber) • Very good wear resistance • Can be used in mineral oils and greases FKM (fluororubber) • Good resistance to aging and ozone • Low gas permeability • Can be used in mineral oils and greases • For chemically aggressive media (acids, alkaline solutions, etc.) • Suitable for high-temperature applications • Suitable for high circumferential speeds • Can be used in synthetic oils and greases FREUDENBERC INNOVATING TOGETHER
