SKF Taconite Seal for Bearings in Split Block Housings

The SKF Taconite Seal for bearings in split block housings protects against extremely contaminated or wet operating conditions.  

• Multi-stage labyrinth cartridge seal design
• Benefits include exclusion of contaminants, improved prevention of water ingress (even during high-pressure washing), maximized bearing and seal service life, reduced grease consumption, reduced environmental impact, and optimized machine performance and uptime
• Provides practical barrier solution for demanding applications 
• Can be machined cast iron or steel
• Consists of two rings (one stationary and one rotating) which form a very narrow labyrinth between them
• Rotating labyrinth ring carries an internal, low-friction V-ring seal that seals against the stationary labyrinth ring, blocks contaminants from entering bearing housing and contributes to effective purging of grease
• Rotating labyrinth ring, facing the bearing housing, serves to deflect and fling away water
• Features shorter axial width compared with conventional types to offer space-saving advantages
• Can be supplied to easily fit bearing housings in a range of shaft sizes from 50 (1-15/16 in.) to 450 mm (18 in.) as standard
• Circumferential groove on outer diameter surface of stationary labyrinth ring promotes simplified alignment and installation
• Smaller seal types will firmly secure to a shaft using three grub/set screws, and versions with larger diameters have been engineered for “bolt-on” mounting
• Built-in grease fittings enable easy re-greasing when necessary
• Compatible with new or existing housings
• Custom products can be developed to satisfy particular application requirements
