Low-Friction Engine Seal

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Low-Friction Engine Seal is designed to provide a dynamic seal at the front and rear crankshaft bearings, significantly reducing friction and weight compared to traditional PTFE seals. It is suitable for integration with the oil pump at the crankshaft end.

Technical Features
  • Reduces friction torque by 30% compared to PTFE oil seals.
  • Pressure resistance: 1 bar; Vacuum resistance: -200 mbars.
  • Soft sealing lip for easy assembly.
  • Compact design saves axial space.
  • High resistance to new engine oils and ethanol.

Benefits
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Compactness

Product Families
  • Shaft Seals: Ensure sealing on rotating or translating shafts, maintaining lubricants and preventing contamination.
  • Bearing Seals: Designed for wheel, clutch, belt-tensioner, or suspension bearings to reduce energy consumption.
  • Bonded Pistons: Efficiently transfer hydraulic pressure for mechanical movement.
  • Magnet Rings: Provide accurate position, direction, and speed data for rotating shafts.
  • Precision Static Seals: Ensure reliability in braking, fuel, oil, air, and water systems.
  • O-Rings: Provide static and dynamic seals, suitable for extreme temperatures and small spaces.
  • Grommets and Hole Covers: Allow passage of wires or steering columns while preventing dust, water, and controlling heat.
  • Bonded and Overmolded Seals: Offer static sealing solutions with high resistance to pressure and temperature.
