A stronger dirt barrier cannot compensate for the wrong elastomer. The COMBI seal architecture protects the oil lip from contamination, while compound selection handles heat, cold and lubricant compatibility.
1. Product: Integrated COMBI seal
2. Core duty: Mud plus temperature cycling
3. Heat risk: Elastomer aging
4. Cold risk: Reduced lip flexibility
5. Contamination: Mud/grit/water
6. Motion: Rotary
7. Function: Lubricant retention
8. Exclusion: Multi-lip dirt barrier
9. Oil lip: Dedicated
10. Dirt lips: Multiple
11. NBR option: Available by duty
12. HNBR option: Available by duty
13. FKM option: Available by duty
14. Temperature range: Compound specific
15. Oil compatibility: Compound specific
16. Abrasion control: Enhanced
17. Equipment: Construction/industrial/off-road

31. Misalignment: Controlled
32. Bore: Clean/burr-free
33. Installation: Square press
34. Orientation: Correct sides
35. Reuse: No
36. Inspection: Heat hardening/cracks/dirt tracks
37. Retrofit: Verify space
38. OEM match: Number/sample
39. Custom size: Available
40. QC: Dimension/lip/case
41. Order data: Min/max temp plus size/media
42. Life factor: Temperature and contamination combined
Material note: Do not select FKM, HNBR or NBR by temperature alone. Verify the actual lubricant chemistry, shaft speed and pressure because compound compatibility is application specific.
