Your choice of sealing solution depends on many factors including shaft speed, temperature, the type of operating environment (e.g. wet), and the surrounding atmosphere (e.g. corrosive or explosive).
In situations where shafts terminate at bearings, blanking plates may be used to replace seals at one end of the cartridge.
To find the best seal type for your application, follow the flow chart below. There is also a number of alternative options available including special seals.
For full details, please contact our technical department.
