Radial shaft seals for roller bearings in steel plants, for example those used for work rolls, are replaced after 8,000 operating hours, at the longest. Until then, they are expected to function smoothly and reliably under harsh conditions and at high temperatures. They are also expected to protect the bearing internally against excessive water penetration,…

Formulated rubber seals protect ball bearings
Specially formulated rubber seals protect 6000, 6200 and 6300 series ball bearings from moisture, wash-down chemicals, mud and dirt. Applications include outdoor environments, lawn and garden equipment, snow blowers, pumps and compressors, pulleys and idlers and rollers and conveyors. These bearings are filled with special grease lubricants featuring synthetic base oil with a lithium complex…
Control Leaks with Bearing Isolators
By KwongVoon Wong (James), Project Lead, Garlock Sealing Technologies, Palmyra, NY Today’s demanding applications call for other sealing methods. One alternative is the bearing isolator. Advances have created units with little frictional drag and a service life that is up to 65 times greater than that of a radial lip seal. Although initially designed for…

Trelleborg Orkot® Bearings Wear Exceptionally Well at Low Velocities
FORT WAYNE, IN — Trelleborg Sealing Solutions’ Orkot® TXMM bearing material has proven to be one of the best in direct electric motor propulsion systems on ships. The motors operate at low shaft velocities and, subject to boundary lubrication, bearings used must demonstrate exceptional wear resistance. An extensive test program was conducted to prove Orkot®…
Bearing Units with Dual-Sealing System
Marathon mounted bearing units integrate a stainless steel dual-sealing system to protect from contaminants, resist corrosion, and extend service life. The sealing arrangement consists of a double-lip insert seal (rubber bonded to AISI 304 stainless steel), an AISI 304 stainless steel flinger, and a rubber-backed steel gasket. The insert seal and flinger combine to create…
