Low-friction Waveseal Shaft-Sealing Solutions

SKF low-friction Waveseal shaft-sealing solutions feature a specially molded radial lip design that forms a sinusoidal, or wave, pattern around the shaft surface of rotating machinery.

• Unique pattern allows lubricant to be pumped back to the bearings to promote optimized lubricant retention while sealing out contaminants
• Effective alternative to conventional double-lip seals
• Typical applications include gearboxes, electric motors, transmissions, drive systems, speed reducers, and pumps, among others.
• The bi-rotational, hydrodynamic radial lip performs either way the shaft is turning and "hydroplanes" on a thin film of oil
• Runs cooler by generating up to 35% less heat at the contact point (minimizing premature seal failure due to heat checking, blistering, hardening, or lubricant breakdown)
• Generates 20% less friction torque, or drag; and provides enhanced lip lubrication.
• More than 200 shaft sizes are available as standard from .250 to 12.250 in. and 12 to 280 mm
• Wide selection of inner case, dust lip, and pressure profiles
