These radial shaft seals (rotary lip seals) are engineered for industrial gearboxes and speed reducers to help retain lubricant and keep contaminants out, reducing leaks and unplanned downtime.
Supports oil/grease retention in rotating shaft assemblies
Optional dust lip for improved contamination exclusion
Material choices for temperature, media, and wear conditions
Common DIN 3760 / ISO 6194-style geometry for straightforward replacement
Spring-loaded sealing lip (garter spring) for stable radial load
Single-lip or double-lip (with auxiliary dust lip) configurations
Metal-cased, rubber-coated OD, or all-rubber OD options (on request)
Custom sizes and compounds available for OEM/maintenance needs
| Attribute | Options / Notes |

| Runout tolerance | Depends on profile; consult for dynamic runout limits |
| Misalignment tolerance | Profile dependent; consult for limits |
| Dust exclusion | Optional auxiliary lip for contamination |
| Direction of rotation | Bi-directional (standard); pumping helix options on request |
| Lubrication | Oil bath / splash / grease (depends on selection) |
| Installation | Press-fit into housing; use proper tools to protect lip |
| Lead-in chamfer | Recommended on shaft/housing to avoid lip damage |
| Operating environment | Dusty, oily, industrial (selection dependent) |
| Corrosion protection | Standard steel case; stainless options on request |
| Spring material | Carbon steel / Stainless (temperature & corrosion dependent) |
| Compound hardness | Typically 70–80 Shore A (compound dependent) |

| High-temperature option | FKM/PTFE options available |
| Packaging | Protective packaging to avoid lip deformation |
| Quality checks | Dimensional & visual inspection; batch traceability (option) |
| Customization | Size, lip style, OD style, compound |
| OEM support | Drawing-based development available |
| MOQ | Depends on size/customization |
| Lead time | Depends on stock/custom |
| Documentation | Material/inspection documents on request |
| Use cases | Reducers, worm gearboxes, helical gearboxes, motor gear units |
Industrial gearboxes (helical, bevel, worm)
Speed reducers in conveyors, mixers, extruders
Pumps, motors, and rotating equipment requiring oil retention
Send your shaft diameter, housing bore, width, media, temperature, and speed—our team will recommend the best lip profile and compound.
Single lip or double lip? Double lip helps when external dust or splash contamination is present.
Which material should I choose? NBR is a common oil-sealing choice; FKM/PTFE for higher temperatures or aggressive media.
