Single lip grease seal

Premium general purpose springless grease seal with integrated metal reinforcement element for press-in fitment in an open housing.  Designed to control leakage in grease-packed bearings.

The springless lip imparts low friction and heat generation. The rubber-covered outer diameter creates excellent static sealing without excessive damage to soft alloys. This is an excellent low friction seal for non-pressurized media such as grease or highly viscous fluids.
