Sticky clay can hold abrasive sand against the shaft for an entire shift. The integrated COMBI seal is designed to put a contamination barrier ahead of the oil lip, reducing the direct mud path that often causes scoring, leakage and repeated maintenance.
1. Product: Integrated COMBI seal
2. Core use: Excavator mud duty
3. Motion: Rotary shaft
4. Main problem: Packed mud ingress
5. Media: Oil or grease by application
6. Contaminants: Clay, sand, grit and water
7. Architecture: Multi-lip integrated barrier
8. Oil lip: Dedicated
9. Dirt lip: Dedicated
10. Mud defense: Enhanced versus basic single-lip seals
11. Abrasion control: Keeps grit away from primary lip
12. Typical equipment: Excavators and crawler machines
13. Positions: Final drives, hubs, axles and gear cases
14. Splash exposure: Suitable after profile verification
15. Shaft protection: Helps reduce abrasive tracks
16. Housing fit: Press-fit
17. Shaft fit: Design dependent
18. Elastomer: NBR/HNBR/FKM options
19. Case: Steel options
20. Spring: Profile dependent
21. Oil compatibility: Verify compound
22. Grease compatibility: Application dependent
23. Pressure: Verify operating and peak values
24. Speed: Match shaft diameter and RPM
25. Temperature: Match elastomer grade
26. Runout: Follow specification
27. Misalignment: Control during installation
28. Shaft finish: Controlled finish recommended
29. Shaft hardness: Important in grit exposure
30. Bore condition: Clean and burr-free
31. Installation: Press square with tool
32. Orientation: Oil side/dirt side marked
33. Reuse: Not recommended
34. Inspection: Check leaks and mud tracks
35. Retrofit: Verify clearance first
36. Custom size: Available by dimensions
37. OEM match: By number, sample or size
38. QC: Lip, case and dimension inspection
39. Order data: ID/OD/width/RPM/media
40. Life factor: Duty and installation dependent
41. Maintenance goal: Fewer contamination-related interventions
42. Selection focus: Mud severity plus machine conditions
Selection tip: For excavators, describe whether the mud is fine clay, sandy slurry or gravel-rich soil. The exclusion system should match the real particle load, not only the nominal seal dimensions.
