RADIAL SHAFT SEALS

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.
