Ensure grease stays inside bearings and keep contaminants out with this felt ring seal from SKF. The simple but efficient design is suitable for use with plummer block housings, which can support heavy industrial loads. You can use it at peripheral speeds up to 4m/s or at higher speeds where a small gap forms between the felt and the shaft, transforming it into a non-rubbing gap-type seal. Using felt seals enables unlimited axial movement on the shaft relative to the housing.
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to +100°C for use in harsh environments • Light alloy construction combines strength with light weight
Applications
• Conveyor belt rollers • Ventilation systems • Paper machines • Rolling mills
How do I prepare this seal for mounting?
It helps to soak the felt strips in hot oil for a few minutes before inserting them into the grooves. Put the rubber O-section cords into the grooves first as this will prevent the seals from turning.
What's the purpose of a plummer block?
Plummer blocks support bearings and keep the lubricant free from contaminants. They can also be used to house monitoring equipment.
